mtaylor Posted August 26, 2020 #2 Posted August 26, 2020 Not sure where you are but you contact some printshops in your area and they should be able to print them out if no one else has them.

Louie da fly Posted August 26, 2020 #3 Posted August 26, 2020 Hi Salem, and welcome to MSW. There are instructional videos online. Google artesania latina swift 1805 instructions. There are quite a few videos out there - from a quick look through them it looks like you might have enough information just from these to be able to build the ship. When you start your build, make sure you start a build log as well. It's a great way to get help,advice and encouragement. (It also lets us see another beautiful model under construction). Instructions on how to start your log are at https://modelshipworld.com/topic/24705-before-you-post-your-build-log-please-read-this-starting-and-naming-your-build-log/ You're bound to make mistakes at some point or other. Don't get too disheartened by them; we've all been there. Most of them can be repaired - and those that can't - well, treat it as a learning experience which you can apply to your next model. The members here are very supportive and helpful. And have fun with it - that's what it's all about. mtaylor 1 Quote It's not really a ship model unless you've bled on it.

Ryland Craze Posted August 27, 2020 #4 Posted August 27, 2020 Salem, Welcome to Model Ship World. Another option for your Swift instructions is to get an external USB DVD player. These can be purchased for around $25. The instructional DVD that you have has video tutorials and modeling tips on it in addition to the step-by-step build instructions with pictures according to AL. The DVD would probably help you have a more enjoyable building experience. mtaylor 1 Quote Ryland Member - Hampton Roads Ship Model Society - Ship Model Society of New Jersey - Nautical Research Guild Current Build - Armed Virginia Sloop, 18th Century Longboat Completed Build - Medway Longboat

Nirvana Posted August 30, 2020 #6 Posted August 30, 2020 Salem, Warm , Do you use a PC? Well, in that in that case it's just to transfer the information from the DVD to USB and take it to a print shop. They will provide you with all needed prints and you will have the video instructions on DVD. The kit itself is very nice what I have heard. A quick search gave me this: Swift Maybe to some help. mtaylor 1 Quote Please, visit our Facebook page!
