I like working on working boats like this one. just completed my build of the mare nostrum another working boat by artesania latina. Looking forward to this build because the scale makes this boat bigger and have more details built on it.Thanks for stopping by my build log. popeye the sailor, GuntherMT, Piet and 3 others 6 Quote Current Build: Andrea Gail - Billings Boat 608 - scale 1:60 St. Elme - Soclaine - scale 1:20 Finished Build: Marina II - Artesania Latina - Scale 1:50 Lobster Boat - Midwest Mare Nostrum - Artesania Latina - Scale 1:35 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downeaster Posted December 30, 2014 Author Share #2 Posted December 30, 2014 Today got to work on my build. I cut out the false keel, the frames and the stiffeners out of the laser cut sheets. The wood in the kit is great and the laser cuts seem to be right on so far. Began glueing the frames to the keel tasmanian, yvesvidal, tarbrush and 3 others 6 Quote Current Build: Andrea Gail - Billings Boat 608 - scale 1:60 St. Elme - Soclaine - scale 1:20 Finished Build: Marina II - Artesania Latina - Scale 1:50 Lobster Boat - Midwest Mare Nostrum - Artesania Latina - Scale 1:35 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerryb Posted June 6, 2015 Share #6 Posted June 6, 2015 Great start!! Fun kit. Am "kitbashing" mine to stand-off scale Northeastern (Deadliest Catch fame). By modifying wheelhouse and moving it forward and modifying stern (added some inches while sqaring it off) its coming out as a "reasonable facsimile".

downeaster Posted December 18, 2017 Author Share #9 Posted December 18, 2017 Back at the work bench finally. Got planking finished with one coat of primer applied. Decking also completed with pencil rubbed on edge of every deck plank. Feels great to get back working on my Marina II. Thanks for looking.

downeaster Posted January 13, 2018 Author Share #14 Posted January 13, 2018 Hull is finally ready for paint This kit does not supply a display stand. Before I begin the painting of the hull..it needs a place to set and not directly on the workbench. I began work on a display stand I saw somewhere on the web. I enjoy challenging myself to building all my display stands and not using standard stands. Some more sanding than either brown wash or stain to the stand. king derelict, popeye the sailor and tarbrush 3 Quote Current Build: Andrea Gail - Billings Boat 608 - scale 1:60 St. Elme - Soclaine - scale 1:20 Finished Build: Marina II - Artesania Latina - Scale 1:50 Lobster Boat - Midwest Mare Nostrum - Artesania Latina - Scale 1:35 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoying this build and isn't that the reason we do this hobby. I believe the most important part of this hobby is having a comfortable chair...you will be spending alot of time in it.

downeaster Posted February 20, 2018 Author Share #22 Posted February 20, 2018 I am a static model builder. This model can be radio controlled, there is room inside the hull for everything you need. This kit is made so the main cabin can be removed to access the inside of the hull. Hope this helps you... hof00. If you like pics of the space inside the hull, i will post. popeye the sailor 1 Quote Current Build: Andrea Gail - Billings Boat 608 - scale 1:60 St. Elme - Soclaine - scale 1:20 Finished Build: Marina II - Artesania Latina - Scale 1:50 Lobster Boat - Midwest Mare Nostrum - Artesania Latina - Scale 1:35 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downeaster Posted October 23, 2018 Author Share #24 Posted October 23, 2018 With close inspection of the finished hull, I noticed two areas that planks opened up slightly. They were not really easy to see but they bothered me and I would not be happy with the finished model if I left it. The old saying you are your own worst judge on your models. sanding down then primed the hull again ....ready for paint tarbrush 1 Quote Current Build: Andrea Gail - Billings Boat 608 - scale 1:60 St. Elme - Soclaine - scale 1:20 Finished Build: Marina II - Artesania Latina - Scale 1:50 Lobster Boat - Midwest Mare Nostrum - Artesania Latina - Scale 1:35 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

popeye the sailor Posted November 9, 2018 Share #28 Posted November 9, 2018 she looks really nice...very clean and vivid colors my first build was like that......I found that not cementing between the planks allowed the gaps to show up in a big way.

Thunder Posted November 10, 2018 Share #30 Posted November 10, 2018 Hi, not really my type of subject but seeing your work has really opened my eyes. Kit looks really well presented and they really knew how to pack all the parts onto that ply sheet didn't they. Really in awe of your work and your stand is very impressive. Would also be nice in a diorama for when you are not sailing her. popeye the sailor and Jerry2000K 2 Quote Current Build(s): H.M.S Diana 1794 - Caldercraft 1:64 Scale Completed Builds: H.M.S.
