le débutant Posted November 22, 2014 Share #1 Posted November 22, 2014 Welcome every body. Finally i am there. Tree build up to now,to build some experience and skill,for this project. I am glad to start the Santa Ana. I open the box this morning,to check all parts,fitting,wood,and instruction. I have to admit the instruction manuel is fantastic minimum tree picture per page,and plan are well done. The cut for parts is also good,i just hope the enthusiasm of first view will continue. So now first step after counting parts,is to number them and separate them from the form. I will come back with some picture later. P.S If i am doing something wrong feel free to help me. Thanks to all. jastrząb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

le débutant Posted November 25, 2014 Author Share #8 Posted November 25, 2014 (edited) First picture. I build the keel the 3 parts together on a piece of wood to make sure the keel is straight. Good result. Then i build frame #7 making sure as the instruction manual for the 90D of all parts. Next step, 7 and 13 frame gets in but a little sending was necessary to fit,(but not glue up to now) Edited December 18, 2017 by le débutant GuntherMT, FishingManiac and mtdoramike 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtdoramike Posted November 26, 2014 Share #9 Posted November 26, 2014 That looks suspiciously like the same way the AL Victory build starts out. I have been curious if Artesania Latina didn't just revamp the Victory kit to make the Santa Ana. But either way, I love the ship and can't wait to follow along on your progress. le débutant 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtdoramike Posted November 26, 2014 Share #10 Posted November 26, 2014 Also, make sure and do a thorough inventory of the kit contents as I found a few pieces missing from my AL Victory kit like the whole photo etched brass sheet containing hammock stays. le débutant 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's done,at this time i d'ont have any problem on parts or the build. The only dark cloud is ,one sheet of error to correct. The picture on that sheet is non visible.

le débutant Posted November 26, 2014 Author Share #12 Posted November 26, 2014 Today i build or put in place the frame,not glue and tried to fit the floor,front part no problem, rear part yes first problem. I come to the conclusion that those parts are not the one for the boat.#38and #39 from 7A board.(as per instruction manual) First the parts are to long and the opening for the frame are .257in. when all the oder floor the opening are .328 average.

le débutant Posted December 2, 2014 Author Share #13 Posted December 2, 2014 (edited) All frame are glue,making sure 90 degree on both plan are respected. Eight stern collars are installed,the picture given is not accurate. The bow is installed,the two parts #38and #39 are not cut for this boat,to long and the slot are to small, but everything is modified for the fit. .

mtdoramike Posted December 2, 2014 Share #14 Posted December 2, 2014 It's looking very good. Matter of fact, it looks just like the Latina Victory at this stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe also looking at other build. I am still looking for some picture of the original for the color of the boat,the only one available is all black.

le débutant Posted February 6, 2015 Author Share #17 Posted February 6, 2015 (edited) Sorry for the late info. Yes i have moved forward with the build,first the frame #7 did not sit level compare to the mane frame,and also when i glue the frame 32 did not sit to is place as i glue it. So i had to correct the too mistake. Then page 8 of the build,the planking of the first floor request to start at frame 17 and finish at frame 21,but on picture show between 20 to 24,to correct this error i did plank a bit longer than the request and install temporary the next floor to find the exact position. I also start to plate the lower part of the stern forecastle,and plate the hull, and cut out the gun port doors. The problem with the gun port is to respect the distance given between each one (30mm) I will put some picture later.

mtdoramike Posted February 7, 2015 Share #18 Posted February 7, 2015 I happily await pictures. If your Ana was anything like my AL Victory, you will have to shim numerous frames in order to get the planking to lay properly. le débutant 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To prevent any undesired curve i file and shim some frame as i build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

le débutant Posted February 7, 2015 Author Share #25 Posted February 7, 2015 very nice work. It also doesn't look like you had to shim too many frames. Mike I had to send,and shim a total of four frame,and as i build before installing the plate i check the curve inward or outward and fix before glue.

Mike I did mesure every gun port to the proper distance,compare to each other,using a pencil and once i have all design i start to make the hole. This way is easier to correct before making hole.

mtdoramike Posted March 3, 2015 Share #29 Posted March 3, 2015 (edited) hahahahahaha, I did the same as you, but mine in no way came out as nice as your gun ports. Maybe your pencil was sharper than mine. Edited March 3, 2015 by mtdoramike le débutant 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
