Zosen Posted May 12, 2015 Share #1 Posted May 12, 2015 Looking for a little help on an old Artesania Latina kit "Scottish Maid". I've had this kit in my stash for about thirty years and have even forgotten where it came from but my grandson has decided he wants to build a wooden ship and he discovered the kit while digging through the stash. It's pristine but old and is no longer available that I could find. AL doesn't respond to my inquiries so this forum seems to be my last resort. We have two sheets of plans but there is obviously at least one sheet missing. We have the sheets depicting the construction steps and the mast, spar and rigging sheet. There has to be a sheet of the profile and the deck arrangement, I would think. Anyway, if anyone can help solve this little conundrum, I would certainly be willing to defray any costs involved. Hard enough to get kids interested in something non-electronic as it is and he is chomping at the bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tasmanian Posted May 12, 2015 Share #2 Posted May 12, 2015 hi zosen is your sm at scale 1/50 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zosen Posted May 12, 2015 Author Share #3 Posted May 12, 2015 Hard to determine scale, nothing printed that we can see. We have built the hull to the deck level since the constructions plans and parts made this pretty straight forward but from that point forward it's pretty much guess work. The deck is 16 5/8" though.

grsjax Posted May 14, 2015 Share #4 Posted May 14, 2015 The book "Fast Sailing ships: Their Design and Construction, 1775 - 1875" by David R. MacGregor has an entire section devoted to the Scotish Maid with drawings and commentary. Might be worth while to use this as a source of information on rigging and deck layout. Quote My advice and comments are always worth what you paid for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zosen Posted May 16, 2015 Author Share #5 Posted May 16, 2015 I have the book but it doesn't have deck arrangement and although the lines are shown, there is nothing that can be used without extensive copying. Like I said before, we have the plans for the rigging and masts and spars. It's the profile and deck sheet that we need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrangus Posted June 4, 2015 Share #7 Posted June 4, 2015 Zosen I'm in the middle of my SM build. I will take pic of the deck arrangement when I get a moment and post here for you. It's a good, challenging first model. JesseLee's completed build is a great resource/reference as you proceed, he has much detail overall. mtaylor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
