Remove Tamiya paint
DavidG replied to JoniP's topic in Painting, finishing and weathering products and techniques
There are specific paint removers by Tamiya and Revell, both works well. Most hobby shops sell them. Good luck for your build. -

this is very impressive attention to detail, congratulations ! I think to attach the toggle to the sheet line, the long tail should be pulled through the loop for a more secure connection though.

Hello Peter, good luck for your search for the manual. It may sound silly at first... but if you have the plans and still feel the need to a pictorical manual, look thorugh a manual of a different ship from the website of Artesania Latina or Occre. These type of kits have very similar design, and you may get answers to building sequence, planking tips etc, even it's a different ship. Hope you find what you are looking for, though.

Blades for Artesania Latina Cutter
DavidG replied to brunnels's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
Amati sells such blades like this one, but have a look around as there are different types of them. But this plastic tool is not designed to cut such thick strip as the 4x4. For that one you will need a saw. The use of this is to make repeated cuts by the same length or same angle, like cutting deck planks from thin strip (after adding a stop to the tray). If you can't cut the strip by a handheld knife, neither this tool will do. -
if you look for kits, the new Artesania Latina Victory section is probably the best one on the market now.

you may have a look on the Artesania Latina Hermione kit for a second build here https://artesanialatina.net/en/ships-advanced/484-wooden-model-ship-kit-hermione-la-fayette-frigate-8421426325171.html?mot_tcid=e87a7115-6a0e-4f2d-91d3-dbc3fbc2526a. It's a newer design than the Occre one, and definitely fulfils the need for detailed instructions. Still uses plywood parts a lot, but for the price it seems to be a decent offering.

in addition to the good tips above, you may consider scratch building it from various strips, I would even consider styrene. There are no difficult shapes here, and the decorative trim can be made from brass wire or modified eyebolts. The panes can be built up from segments, glued to a transparent background, or maybe take some overscale kit gratings, and sand it thin.

Then probably you could consider the minicraft 1/350 with the Tom modelworks photoetch detail. A great example shown at titanicmodel.net

probably the cheapest option to make it yourself with premade profiles and plexiglas: https://store.amatimodel.com/en/eberle-saws-for-modeling/product-profiles-for-show-cases-b256002.html https://occre.com/en/collections/peanas-modelismo-naval

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
