Hello All ,

Having made different kids of models over the years (on and off ) , I am in the process of constructing Artesania Latina "Marie -Jeanne" Tuna fishing boat . I am taking my time double planking her , finishing off with a pear wood hull which at present looks ok to my eyes . I am now planking the port side to finish the hull and have the basic deck planking and comings finished , and am looking forward to finishing the project for display . Unfortunately there are several pieces of the walnut wood pieces missing , I have contacted AL via their ebay site but no answer as yet !

As I am really enjoying  the plank on bulkhead type of construction , I plan on making another model after finishing this one and was thinking about trying a solid hull construction model . As I am limited to mainly a Dremmel tool and various small hand files and other tools do you think this is a viable option ? I would like to know how much wood needs to be removed from solid hull construction kits and / or any other type of work I would need to carry out and if this would be achieveable with my tools ?

Any advice appreciated .

Mike

To get an excellent idea of exactly what is involved in doing a solid-hull model right, check out Chuck Passaro's practicum for the Model Shipways Sultana kit. You can download it here.

I doubt you'll hear back from AL as form what's been posted here about them, they're bankrupt and have or are shutting down.
