Harv33 Posted December 21, 2019 #1 Posted December 21, 2019 OK, I'm new here so Hello to all of you Craftsmen. I have read most of the help, tips and good advise for beginners. Thumbed through the forum projects, options etc. So I joined up. Now here is why,, My Daughter gave me a gift of an Artesania Latina 1847 Harvey two masted Clipper 1:50. It appears to be an old kit, all there and good condition. The 4 large drawn plans look easy to read and follow but the printed instructions are not very good. I down loaded "Simple Hull Planking Techniques" from this site as a main read, back up. I plan on using the individual instructions on each of the ship parts. I will order a heat bender for the Planks, etc. That is about it. I will go to the other parts of the forum to post my questions and comments. JeffT, tarbrush, mtaylor and 4 others 7

ccoyle Posted December 21, 2019 #6 Posted December 21, 2019 Welcome, Harv. The nice thing about that kit is that it is a relatively easy hull form to plank and is also in a large scale -- makes fiddly bits easier to work with.

Harv33 Posted December 22, 2019 Author #11 Posted December 22, 2019 Thank you all !! It is nice to know there are a lot of you learned gents that have the experience I can refer to. to save me some blood, sweat and tears !! Much appreciated, Harv. Yes, I found after I was given the kit and checked on this site advising the type ship kits as starters. The Harvey is a single deck, two master, no scroll work, over all fairly clean layout.. We'll see how it all works out. GrandpaPhil, Baker, tarbrush and 1 other 4
GrandpaPhil Posted December 23, 2019 #12 Posted December 23, 2019 And it’s a Baltimore Clipper, which is a great rig to learn on. mtaylor 1 Building: 1:200 Russian Battleship Oryol (Orel card kit) 1:64 HMS Revenge (Victory Models plans) 1:64 Cat Esther (17th Century Dutch Merchant Ships)
Harv33 Posted December 23, 2019 Author #13 Posted December 23, 2019 That's good to hear, I was fortunate to not obtain one that would be big head ache. Thanks for the reply !! GrandpaPhil and mtaylor 2
