MODEL SHIP MEDIUM SKILLS: WOODEN FISHING BOAT MARE NOSTRUM (20100N)<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Mare Nostrum<\/strong> is a classic fishing boat from the Mediterranean Sea<\/strong>, 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.<\/p>\n

The naval modeling kit of the Mare Nostrum<\/strong><\/a> contains all the necessary parts to build the model<\/strong>. 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<\/strong>, bring the wooden base<\/strong> for display along with a nominative plaque<\/strong>. Once completed, the model measures 16.14” (410mm) length, 10.62” (270mm) height and 4.13” (105mm) width. <\/span><\/p>\n

MODEL SHIP MEDIUM SKILLS: WOODEN STEAMBOAT<\/strong> KING OF THE MISSISSIPPI (20515)<\/strong><\/h2>\n

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<\/strong>. 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!<\/p>\n

The naval modeling kit<\/strong> of the King of the Mississippi<\/strong><\/a> 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.<\/p>\n

Now, the model can come to life by purchasing two different sets of effects separately: Lighting Set for Models and DIY Projects<\/strong><\/a> (27590) and Motion Motor Set<\/strong><\/a> (27591) of the boat blades. Also, to make this faithful miniature replica come to life, you can add a figures set<\/strong><\/a> (20515F), sold separately. Once finished, the model measures 25.98” (660 mm) length, 7.55” (192 mm) heigth and 5.11” (130 mm) width.<\/p>\n

MODEL SHIP MEDIUM SKILLS: WOODEN CARAVEL <\/strong>LA NI\u00d1A (22410)<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Our third proposal for a mid-intermediate level boat model is La Ni\u00f1a<\/strong><\/a>, one of the three Spanish caravels used by Christopher Columbus on the first trip to the New World<\/strong> in 1492<\/strong>. <\/strong>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 Mar\u00eda 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 Ni\u00f1a would return with Christopher Columbus on board, reaching Lisbon on March 4 and finally the port of Palos on March 15, 1493.<\/p>\n

Its assembly system using a false keel and frames, like the vast majority of Artesan\u00eda Latina’s scale models<\/strong> of boats<\/strong>, brings its design closer to that of the real ship. The modeling kit<\/strong> 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<\/strong> even with the Set of 10 Metal Figurines<\/strong><\/a> at scale 1 :65 crew members, ready to be assembled and painted, sold separately.<\/p>\n

WOODEN CARAVEL MODEL SANTA MAR\u00cdA (22411N)<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The fourth proposal for a medium skills model ship is possibly the most important in history<\/strong> as it was the one in which Christopher Columbus<\/strong> was traveling when America was discovered<\/strong> at the end of the 15th century, specifically, in 1492<\/strong>. La Nao Santa Mar\u00eda<\/strong><\/a>, incorrectly called ‘caravel’ because the other two smaller boats that accompanied it were, La Ni\u00f1a 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.<\/p>\n

This Santa Mar\u00eda 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 \u2013 this model includes die-cut cardboard templates to be able to paint its characteristic crosses; and, as a gift<\/strong> so that the model is perfectly displayed, as a work of art that it is, a wooden pedestal<\/strong> 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.<\/p>\n
