Artesania Latina 1805 Swift pilot boat

Thanks for the comments Fox!I really like the plank on bulkhead construction but the instructions are not clearly illustrated enough.I wish the instructions were more like a plastic model kit but it is what it is,@ years to build that?Looks great though.

Nice work so far Philo. I've built a few Artesania Latina boats. Just take your time and test fit before gluing (just like plastic).  My Avatar is the Scottish Maid from Artesania. It took 2 years to complete. I didn't like some of the fittings, so I got others from AM. I built many R/C boats over the years so I didn't have any real problems with building her. I think the hardest part was the rigging. Good luck and keep the pics coming.

Installed the bulkheads and began to plank it.    

The bulkhead had to be bent so i soaked it for a half hour and clamped it to the edge of a frying pan.Worked well!   

Laid down the deck planking.   

Installe the first layer of planks and smoothed the hull.
