downeaster Posted January 22, 2019 Author #31 Posted January 22, 2019 Started work on the masts. I didn't like the way the instructions mention how to place the light fixtures on the masts. See pic... I decided to insert light fixture into hole I drilled into the mast supports...

downeaster Posted September 13, 2019 Author #40 Posted September 13, 2019 Marina II build coming to the finish line. I enjoyed this model and the time at the modeling bench. I named the model after my late sister. For my second ship....I am very pleased with finished model. I followed colors from the Marina II box art. Thanks for everyone that followed this build. popeye the sailor, tarbrush, BobG and 6 others 9 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

Alf Posted August 17, 2022 #47 Posted August 17, 2022 Hi is there any way to get the original plans for this build .I have the latest kit and it is on CD and no detail for the mast booms and rigging. Regards Alf Quote
Beginner Posted July 16, 2023 #48 Posted July 16, 2023 Hi, just starting Marina 2 and believe your post is going to be really helpful - thanks for taking the time to share. Like the stand you built, do you happening recall where you found the plans or did you create your own. Regards Colin Quote
downeaster Posted July 16, 2023 Author #49 Posted July 16, 2023 Colin, I build my stands myself no plans. I do look around the internet for ideas. I enjoy the build of the stand as much as the model itself. Good luck with your build and I would encourage you to start a build log to share to this community.

grampus Posted February 8 #51 Posted February 8 Downeaster: nice job and thanks for putting up all the pics. I've noticed there were several posters saying they were starting the same model. I'm wondering how all of you have been progressing. I just started mine and wondering if I'll be alive long enough to complete it. Cheers. Quote
