Mare Nostrum by downeaster - Artesania Latina - scale 1:35


Recommended Posts

My first build log. I have fell in love with this great hobby. It is very rewarding to see yourself build a ship from a bunch of sticks, (as the wife calls this kit). post-1262-0-04892800-1361720320_thumb.jpg                                                                                      Pic of the box                                                                                                                                              post-1262-0-40795700-1361720404_thumb.jpg                                                                                                                                                         Pic of materials                                                                                                                                       post-1262-0-13828500-1361720549_thumb.jpg

Here is pic of my progress of my build so for. Got the Mare on the build board to help hold it straight. Slow and steady to enjoy this build. Isnt the old saying, check all your fitted parts twice than glue once.

Got the deck shaped , fitted, and glued. I started the deck planking. Every step you get to see the shape of your Mare come together.

Got to step that I was most worried about..PLANKING.  I got alot of info and tips for this step from other great members of MSW in their build logs. MSW, its moderators and administrators make this a great site for anyone in the hobby.

Got the planking done. The pics are the sanding, filling and shapeing of the hull.

This kit does come with a stand to display your finished Mare Nostrum. I didnt like the look of the stand, looked to small. So I scratch built my own stand. My first small step into scratch building in this hobby and enjoyed it. Pics are the stand holding the hull in its new home.

Hello Downeaster,

 

It is good to see your build log again. After the crash my build log of the Mare was the only completed one out of the four, which felt as a pity.

 

Welcome back.

 

Regards

John

These do look good natural finished but I'm sure not done or even practical on the real ship. I like the painted look too. More realistic. 

Any more updates?

I get my kit for this on Monday, first boat for me to attempt to make!
Any chance I can make it RC? Also, any tips? What paint did you use? 
Anything extra I should get? I'm buying from http://www.mightyape.com.au/product/Artesania-Latina-Mare-Nostrum-Easy-Hobby-Plus-125-Wooden-Model-Kit/20905174 and it says it comes with everything.  *so excited!*

Here are some pics to show where i am at in my build. I'm starting to get into the rigging of the build. Started to think about how I am going to put into this build a fishing net in the stern area of my Mare Nostrum.

This kit does come with a stand to display your finished Mare Nostrum. I didnt like the look of the stand, looked to small. So I scratch built my own stand. My first small step into scratch building in this hobby and enjoyed it. Pics are the stand holding the hull in its new home.

Hi love the pics I have just purchased the same model and will start building soon. I have never built a wooden model and really have no idea so should be interesting.can you please offer me some tips on how to get started and how the plank bender works as it looks like a pair of scissors with 1 blade? I also noticed that you are using clamps on your planks that look like bulldog clips are these something that can be purchased. Sorry for all the questions but would appreciate any help

Well I am back at the workbench finishing up the build. I decided to put on my boat a fishing net. This kit did not come with one so I came across this green material while shopping with the admiral. Also bought some colored beads to help with the look of a fishing net. Would like to know what everyone thoughts are on this idea....
