HISTORY OF THE MOST POWERFUL SHIP OF THE WORLD, THE ONLY ONE STILL IN ONE PIECE

Currently, it is in a dry dock in the port of Portsmouth (Hampshire) in England as a museum piece. The English ship HMS Victory remains the flagship of the Second Lord of the Sea. It is even more important because it is the only ship of the line that has survived to this day in conditions faithful to the originals.

HMS Victory was launched in 1765. The rest of the works such as the rigging, the sails and the armament were progressively completed until in 1778 the ship of the line could be in active service. Specifically, this was a first class ship. The initials of this famous ship refer to “His/Her Majesty’s Ship.” In this case “His”, since the ship first sailed during the reign of George III of the United Kingdom and Ireland (1738-1820).

HMS VICTORY IN THE BATTLE OF TRAFALGAR

HMS Victory soon participated in its first battle, in 1778. Loaded with 104 guns and under the command of different commanders, this three-decker British ship of the line lived through several wars and had various functions. For a few years it became a hospital ship for Spanish and French prisoners of war. It was not until 1805, at Cape Trafalgar, that he achieved worldwide fame for leading the English fleet to victory.

Two years after being assigned to command HMS Victory, vice admiral Horatio Nelson was the leader who participated in the aforementioned Battle of Trafalgar. It was the most decisive of the Napoleonic Wars.

Thirty-four Franco-Spanish ships encountered a much stronger and better prepared British Royal Navy. The defeat was imminent and indisputable. The fleet led by Vice Admiral Nelson won the most important battle. It was the beginning of the decline of the French emperor in Europe.

Vice Admiral Nelson, however, never knew his victory. During the heat of battle, he was shot through his spine and ended his life a few hours later, becoming one of Britain’s greatest war heroes. This battle was the one that put an end to the French and Spanish navies. The United Kingdom would assume maritime supremacy, which would last until World War II.

Now, you have the great opportunity to build this great 1:84 scale model Anatomy of HMS Victory (22900-OP) on our new Modeler’s Workshop (27648-N), sold separately.

He entrusted the Pen Duick to the Costantini shipyard of La Trinité-sur-Mer to evaluate the work to be carried out. The hull of the sailboat was rotten to repair traditionally. Unable to finance the work, he proposed Marc and Gilles Costantini take on an unprecedented challenge to save his boat: rebuild a new hull by applying seven successive layers of glass fabric and polyester resin, using the old hull. as a mold.

Artesanía Latina exists to fulfill all your modeling desires. Therefore, do not hesitate to also take a look at all the tools and accessories that can be helpfully to you.

MODEL SHIP MEDIUM SKILLS: WOODEN FISHING BOAT MARE NOSTRUM (20100N)

The Mare Nostrum is a classic fishing boat from the Mediterranean Sea, from Arenys de Mar, Spain. With a length of 15 meters, a beam of 3.5 and a displacement of 10 tons, this boat was powered by a 40HP engine. The Mediterranean trawlers are all similar, presenting small variations depending on their place of origin. It is an intermediate level boat model, but due to its details it will delight anyone who builds it.

The naval modeling kit of the Mare Nostrum contains all the necessary parts to build the model. In addition, it is equipped with boxes for fish, cabins, a detailed engine, a winch for collecting the cable, and at the stern, protruding from the hull, a rigging with pulleys to pass it during towing. As a gift, bring the wooden base for display along with a nominative plaque. Once completed, the model measures 16.14” (410mm) length, 10.62” (270mm) height and 4.13” (105mm) width.

MODEL SHIP MEDIUM SKILLS: WOODEN STEAMBOAT KING OF THE MISSISSIPPI (20515)

Our next model ship for medium skills modelers that we present to you is a steamboat. Built entirely of wood and equipped with boilers to move their iconic propulsion blades, this type of boat was the solution to transporting passengers and merchandise along the river until well into the 20th century. Steamboats played an important role in the development of the Mississippi River basin and its tributaries, allowing convenient transportation in both directions of the river. They helped reduce the immensity of America and as ‘theater ships’ they reduced the loneliness of this immensity. America is not just modernism: it is also romance and dreams!

The naval modeling kit of the King of the Mississippi includes all the necessary parts for its construction: parts of 8 sheets of high-precision laser-cut board, made of hardwoods such as birch and linden; and 2 large photo-etched sheets (294×156 mm and 257×122 mm) including many decoration details never seen before in die-cast and brass. Includes adhesive fabric flags and, as a bonus, the base with name plate.

Now, the model can come to life by purchasing two different sets of effects separately: Lighting Set for Models and DIY Projects (27590) and Motion Motor Set (27591) of the boat blades.

Once finished, the model measures 25.98” (660 mm) length, 7.55” (192 mm) heigth and 5.11” (130 mm) width.

MODEL SHIP MEDIUM SKILLS: WOODEN CARAVEL LA NIÑA (22410)

Our third proposal for a mid-intermediate level boat model is La Niña, one of the three Spanish caravels used by Christopher Columbus on the first trip to the New World in 1492. Built in the shipyards of the Port of Moguer (Huelva, Andalusia) a few years before the trip, it became the captain ship of the expedition after the Santa María ran aground. And now it will delight the most demanding modellers. The expedition left the Port of Palos for the Canary Islands on August 3, 1492. On this scale, the lateen sail that we represent in this model was transformed into square sails. After discovering America, La Niña would return with Christopher Columbus on board, reaching Lisbon on March 4 and finally the port of Palos on March 15, 1493.

Its assembly system using a false keel and frames, like the vast majority of Artesanía Latina’s scale models of boats, brings its design closer to that of the real ship. The modeling kit contains all the necessary parts for its construction: high-precision laser-cut board, birch wood and veneers, various photo-etched brass parts, cast and hand-sewn sails ready to be placed. As a gift, it includes the wooden base for display. After assembly, the model measures 16.33” (415mm) length, 4.37” (111mm width) and 19.48” (495mm) height. On the other hand, it can provide the model of this and the rest of the caravels with more realism even with the Set of 10 Metal Figurines at scale 1 :65 crew members, ready to be assembled and painted, sold separately.

WOODEN CARAVEL MODEL SANTA MARÍA (22411N)

The fourth proposal for a medium skills model ship is possibly the most important in history as it was the one in which Christopher Columbus was traveling when America was discovered at the end of the 15th century, specifically, in 1492. La Nao Santa María, incorrectly called ‘caravel’ because the other two smaller boats that accompanied it were, La Niña and La Pinta – although in the original documents all three were considered caravels – it was originally called La Gallega, whose owner was Juan de la Cosa.

This Santa María Caravel naval modeling kit contains all the necessary parts to build the model, and of the highest quality. High-quality light birch woods cut with precision thanks to the laser; magnificent details made of metal and photo-etched parts; unbeatable and reinforced sails with cotton fabric, ready to be placed – this model includes die-cut cardboard templates to be able to paint its characteristic crosses; and, as a gift so that the model is perfectly displayed, as a work of art that it is, a wooden pedestal with a nominative metal plate. After being built, its measurements are as follows: 19.80” (503mm) length, 10.39” (264mm) width and 19.60” (498mm) height.

MODEL SHIP MEDIUM SKILLS: WOODEN CARAVEL LA PINTA (22412)

The fifth option of model ship medium skills is the wooden kit of the caravel La Pinta. The fastest of the three caravels used by Christopher Columbus on the first voyage to the New World in 1492. Built in the shipyards of Palos de la Frontera (Huelva) a few years before the trip, it was the fastest of the three boats and often had to wait for the other two. The expedition with the three ships left the Port of Palos for the Canary Islands on August 3, 1492. The sails and rudder of La Pinta were repaired on this stopover, to finally depart for the New World on September 6. It was on October 12 when the famous cry of Rodrigo de Triana “Land in sight!” was heard from the La Pinta ship.

The naval modeling kit contains high-quality parts: high-precision laser-cut board; birch wood and veneer; numerous pieces in wood, metal and brass; pieces in high quality photo-etched brass; sails sewn by hand and prepared to be placed; cotton threads; full scale plan of the boat; and, as a gift, a wooden base to display the model once finished. Once its assembled, this faithful miniature replica measures 20.07” (510mm) length, 9.05” (230mm) width and 15.74” (400mm) height.

MODEL SHIP MEDIUM SKILLS: WOODEN BRIG HMS SUPPLY (22420)

The sixth alternative for those who intend to assemble a medium skills model ship kit is the wooden brig HMS Supply from the 18th century. It was an essential part of the so-called ‘First Fleet’ or First Fleet of the Royal Navy that colonized and founded Australia . HMS Supply was their oldest, smallest and fastest ship. Built in 1759 as a 175-ton armed vessel, she became the colony’s only link to the outside world after the loss of HMS Sirius in 1790. HMS Supply, precisely, was intended to be aship support for HMS Sirius(1786).

The modeling kit of the scale model contains high-quality parts. 6 wooden plates cut by high precision laser, 2 photo-etched plates in brass with numerous details -one of them smaller-, set of birch wood parts -veneers, strips and round rods, oak veneer, fantastic set of 11 sails sewn from cotton ready to be placed, cotton threads for maneuvering in different colors and thicknesses and flags.

WOODEN MODEL CHINESE JUNK RED DRAGON (18020)

The seventh option for an intermediate level boat model is the Chinese junk Red Dragon. Still in use in many parts of Southeast Asia, these vessels were used for both trade and war. The beautiful reeds, typical of the China Sea, were all the rage among leaders of the time such as Genghis Khan and Kublai Khan, who used them to try to conquer Japan during the 13th century. Appearance of reeds is documented around 600 BC. The hull lacks a keel and has a short stern. Its sails are made of thick fabric reinforced with reeds, which provides it with a lot of stability and thrust. It was one of the most used vessels for piracy on the coasts of Southeast Asia.

The modeling kit contains high-quality parts: high-precision laser-cut board parts, hardwoods, brass, cast iron and fabric. Once built, the model measures 18.89” (480mm) length, 5.11” (130mm) width and 17.32” (440mm) height.

The galleons were the ships more powerful of their time and backbone of Spanish maritime power during the 16th and 17th centuries. Galleons appeared around the middle of the 20th century. XVI, thus forming the main nucleus of the Invincible Army. For almost 150 years they were the ships par excellence thanks to their combination of great transport capacity and their firepower, which made them ideal for long voyages oceanic routes between Spain and the Indies.

Have you already built several beginner model boats and feel like you need to take the leap to the next level? Do you already know how to assemble a naval model in general and do you have basic knowledge of using tools? It’s your time to start building ship models intermediate level of skills, without a doubt. Artesanía Latina offers you, in this sense, a wide and varied catalog of wooden naval modeling kits so you can take the next step in your passion for naval modeling. For this reason, we break down in two posts which are each of the historical and high-quality naval scale models. Everything so that the modeler who wants to evolve his skills knows what he wants to set up as a new challenge.

SHIP MODELS INTERMEDIATE LEVEL: WOODEN AND ABS NAVIGABLE-SUITABLE R/C TUGBOAT ATLANTIC (20210)

We start the ship models intermediate level review with the wooden and ABS plastic model of the Atlantic offshore tugboat. It is a faithful replica of the tugboats of the 70s and 80s of the 20th century. It was an offshore tug, not a port tug, so it was prepared to withstand the most adverse weather conditions. Its entire structure was designed to be a stable and very manageable boat in the water, in addition to being able to tow large vessels such as oil tankers or cruise ships in open waters.

The Atlantic Navigable Naval Modelling Kit contains high-precision laser-cut board parts, hardwoods, photo-etched parts, brass and cast iron. It has numerous details in chemical trimming to be more faithful to the original boat. Likewise, the hull of the Atlantic tugboat is made of very high quality ABS so it can be easily converted into an R/C model by being more resistant and waterproof. Without forgetting that its interior is ready for the installation of the electrical system -not included-. The water cannons are designed to be usable – mechanism not included. Once built, the model measures 41.73” (1,060mm) length, 23.62” (600mm) height and 9.84” (250mm) width.

SHIP MODELS INTERMEDIATE LEVEL: WOODEN TUGBOAT SANSON (20415)

Tugboat from the 40s of the last century. Equipped with a powerful steam boiler of 2,000 HP, the vessel could develop speeds of 14 knots while coming to the rescue of much larger ships. In the mid-19th century, navigation experienced a great revolution. The main factor is the implementation of mechanical propulsion. As a consequence, ships gradually increase their size and displacement, losing in the process the ease of maneuvering in docks and ports. As a result of this, tugboats are born. New types of ships of small tonnage and shallow draft but with more than enough driving power and maneuverability to assist ships much larger than themselves.

The naval modeling kit of the Sanson tugboat includes all the necessary parts so you can build your model. 7 high-precision laser-cut plywood sheets, as well as birch slats and rods, and oak veneer. By the way, it is the first kit that contains oak veneer, Artesanía Latina being a pioneer in including this noble wood in any model on the market. In this way, the model is much more realistic, exclusive and avoids the use of wood from tropical forests. It also comes with 1 photo-etched plate with numerous magnificent details, as well as accessories such as die-cast pieces, brass rods, threads, wooden trim and much more. Once built, the model measures 23.81” (605mm) length, 5.11” (130mm) width and 13.47” (350mm) height.

SHIP MODELS INTERMEDIATE LEVEL: WOODEN DUTCH FISHING BOAT BOTTER (22125)

Our third proposal of intermediate level ship models is the Dutch Botter fishing boat model. These ships sailed for centuries in the shallow coastal waters of the Zuiderzee Sea. The crew, usually between 2 and 4 men, used to keep the catches alive in a livewell located in the center of the boat. Zuiderzee was a large inland sea north of the Netherlands. The completion in 1932 of a large dyke divided it in two, creating a large inland saltwater lake called Ijsselmeeer and adding the rest of the former inland sea to the Wadden Sea.

Its assembly system using false keel and frames, like the vast majority of Artesanía Latina’s scale models of boats, brings its design closer to that of the real ship. The modeling kit contains all the parts necessary for construction. High precision laser cut board pieces, fine woods, brass, cast iron and hand-sewn cotton sails ready to be placed. In addition, it includes as a bonus a beautiful wooden base to build with a nameplate of the Botter fishing boat. Everything fits perfectly in this wonderful naval miniature. Once built, this faithful miniature replica of the Dutch Botter fishing boat measures 18.70” (475mm) length, 4.52” (115mm) width and 14.76” (375mm) height.

WOODEN MODEL ARAB DHOW SULTAN (22165)

The fourth proposal for ship models intermediate level is the exotic Arab dhow Sultan: traditional boat from the coasts of the Arabian Peninsula, India and East Africa. This ship was the primary instrument in trade and the spread of the Islamic faith. Likewise, the dhow was mainly used as a cargo ship, from grain and fish to slaves or minerals. Revolutionary in naval history due to its triangular sails and practically unchanged since its initial designs, it is believed that the dhow was the seed for the construction of the Venetian galleys and caravels, leading to the creation of larger ships with mixed sails.

Sultan is another fantastic ship scale model for modellers to move on to the second level of difficulty in building naval miniatures. Its simple construction system and simple sail make it easy to assemble this beauty of naval modeling. The modeling kit contains a set of high precision laser pre-cut board pieces, wood, brass and cast parts. Also, birch wood and veneer, high quality photo-etched brass pieces, hand-sewn sails and cotton threads. Without forgetting the stand-stand to display the model. Once built, this faithful miniature replica measures 15.35” (390mm) length, 4.92” (125mm) width and 17.32” (440mm) height.

SHIP MODELS INTERMEDIATE LEVEL: FRENCH WOODEN FISHING BOAT MARIE JEANNE (22175)

The fifth option for ship models intermediate level is the wooden model of the French fishing boat, the tuna boat Marie Jeanne. Dedicated to tuna fishing in the months of June to October, this fishing boat reached the coasts of Mauritania on trips of up to two months, since tuna are usually far from the coast. Leaving the French port of Concarneau, the Marie Jeanne sailed between 1900 and 1950. Tuna fishing requires strong and fairly fast boats. In the beginning, ships built for other purposes, generally too heavy, were dedicated to these tasks.

The naval modeling kit contains high-precision laser-precut board, noble woods, photo-etched parts, brass and cast iron. In addition to hand-cut and sewn cotton sails ready to be placed. As a bonus gift, it includes a wooden base with a metal nameplate so that the faithful miniature replica is perfectly displayed once assembled. The modeller can enjoy a much more enjoyable and easier assembly experience with this new scale model. Once the model is built, it measures 22.24” (565 mm) length, 4.52” (115 mm) width and 19.48” (495 mm) height.

SHIP MODELS INTERMEDIATE LEVEL: FRENCH WOODEN CORSAIR CUTTER LE RENARD (22401)

The sixth alternative for those who intend to assemble intermediate level ship models is the 1:50 scale wooden model of the French corsair cutter Le Renard. Launched in Saint Malo in 1812 by the famous privateer Robert Surcouf with the main objective to attack and capture the enemy trading ships of France. His actions and his legacy towards the city of Saint Malo make the Renard a symbol of the strong French naval identity. Le Renard was the last ship built by the famous Robert Surcouf. In September 1813 he accomplished his greatest feat by defeating the English schooner HMS Alphea in combat, turning the city of Saint Malo into a refuge for the families of the largest privateers in the world.

The scale model kit contains high-precision laser-cut board pieces, birch wood, brass, cast iron and sails ready to be placed. Also, base support with metal plate. Once built, this faithful miniature replica measures 24.21” (615mm) length, 9.37” (238mm) width and 22.04” (560mm) height.

WOODEN MODEL OF AMERICAN SCHOONER HARVEY (22416)

The seventh option for intermediate level ship models is the American schooner Harvey at 1:60 scale. Schooners are a type of sailboat defined by their rig. To a fast hull is added a sail that is also fast and has good ability to sail to windward. They were popular for many purposes, such as transporting cargo or fishing, as well as widely used by privateers. The Harvey is a new edition of this classic 19th century American schooner. It is reminiscent of the lines of the old coastal schooners of the 1860s in the United States that cannot be missing from your naval model collection.

The modeling kit contains high-quality parts such as precision laser-cut basswood plywood, brass photo-etched sheet with decorative pieces, sails with cotton fabric – ready to be placed- and cotton threads. As a gift so that the model is perfectly displayed, a wooden base with a nominative metal plate prepared to have light. The LED Lighting Set (27590), sold separately. With fine details on the deck and eight cannons. Once the Harvey model is assembled, it measures 26.77” (680mm) length, 19.29” (490mm) height and 9.84” (250mm) width.

SHIP MODELS INTERMEDIATE LEVEL: CANADIAN WOODEN SCHOONER BLUENOSE II (22453)

The eighth option is the wooden model at 1:75 scale of the Canadian schooner Bluenose II. The original Bluenose boat was built as a fishing and racing boat in response to the defeat of the Nova Scotia schooner Delawana by the Massachusetts-based Esperanto. After a life divided between racing victories and hard work fishing, the Bluenose found its final destination in 1946 when it ran aground on a reef in Haiti. There is also a faithful replica of the original built in 1964 that serves as an ambassador, symbol and tourist attraction of the city of Lunenburg, still sailing today.

The modeling kit contains high-precision laser-cut board pieces, fine woods, brass, cast iron, cotton threads and hand-sewn sails ready to be placed. The wooden model of the Bluenose II by Artesanía Latina is, without exaggeration, the best on the market. For its quality, details and for having by far the most complete step-by-step assembly instructions in seven languages and in full color in DVD format for computers -PC and MAC-. Once assembled, this faithful miniature replica measures 27.16” (690mm) length, 4.33” (110mm) width and 22.44” (570mm) height.

Soon, we will continue with a new and final post about the catalog of mid-level ship models. Naval modeling has two names: yours and Artesanía Latina.

HISTORY HMS SUPPLY: ‘FIRST FLEET’ SHIP TO COLONIZE AUSTRALIA

Discover HMS Supply, a wooden model ship of the English armed brigantine sailing boat from the 18th century. It was an essential part of the so-called First Fleet of the Royal Navy that colonized and founded Australia. HMS Supply was their oldest, smallest and fastest ship. Built in 1759 as a 175-ton armed vessel, she became the colony’s only link to the outside world after the loss of HMS Sirius in 1790. HMS Supply, precisely, was intended to be aship support for HMS Sirius(1786).

The HMS Supply was a brigantine, that is, a ship that had two masts and square sails. In addition, it was also a sloop, that is, a small ship with a single gun deck. It had eight small three-pounder guns and carried 50 men. Its dimensions were 21 meters -70 feet- in length and 8 meters -26 feet- in width.

From 1759 to 1786, HMS Supply was used to transport naval supplies between Thames and English Channel ports. During this period, she was docked at Deptford Dockyard. There she underwent minor repairs as necessary to maintain her seaworthiness.

On May 13, 1787, the ‘First Fleet’ left Plymouth – England – heading towards the antipodes. Under the command of Commodore Arthur Philip, the convoy was made up of 11 ships, carrying 1,500 sailors and officers with their families, as well as 732 convicts. They were heading to the great land of the south to establish the penal colony of New South Wales – a coast previously explored by James Cook. It would later become the first state of the Australian Commonwealth.

HISTORY II: CONSOLIDATION OF A NEW NATION

On January 19, 1788, eight months and a week later, the fleet arrived at Botany Bay, with HMS Supply being the first to dock. On January 26, 1788, seven days later, everyone arrived at Port Jackson – the future Port of Sydney -. Philip landed to proclaim Australia’s first national day and become the new nation’s first governor. The 168-ton HMS Supply was the fastest sailing ship in the ‘First Fleet’ and served as explorer and messenger during the voyage. HMS Supply rivals Sirius as the most famous historic ship of the new Australian nation. On 26 November 1791, she left Port Jackson and sailed via Cape Horn, arriving at Plymouth on 21 April 1792.

Now, you have the great opportunity to build this great 1:50 scale model ship of the HMS Supply First Fleet 1787 (22420) on our new Modeling Workshop (27648-N), sold separately.

In addition, it comes with linden and cherry wood strips, round tube and rod in brass, cotton threads in different thicknesses and colors – black and ecru – and fabric for the seats.

ESSENTIAL IN THE HISTORY OF UNITED STATES PLEASURE BOATS

Discover our beautiful The Indian Girl Canoe, new wooden model ship kit for 2024 of the typical boat from Western and Indian American movies.

The Indian Girl Canoe was designed by J.H. Rushton, America’s leading canoe builder, for the burgeoning pleasure paddler market, which introduced the Indian Girl model in 1902. To quote Mr. Rushton: “The Indian Girl is strong, light, safe yet fast, graceful yet seaworthy.” This design from the beginning of the last century lives up to its name.

In this regard, it is interesting to know that Rushton hired M. Roundry from the B.N. Morris Canoe Company in Maine to build the Indian Girl. Roundry had the expertise to build quality wood and canvas canoes that Rushton did not. In the 1910s and 1920s, the Indian Girl model became extremely popular and became Rushton’s best-selling canoe.
