Even with a topic that, to put it kindly, wasn't your first choice, is still interesting and entertaining. You are appreciated!

You may be doing this under duress, but it is still a fantastic story!

As usual I am late to the party. This was a very interesting video. One of the other commenters said they had done the Swift. That name sounded very familiar, so into the basement I went. I actually have that kit. I bought it second hand with the hull started. Haven't gone any further with it yet though. I have 6 Artesania Latina kits and have only started one of them, maybe 20 years ago? Got too busy with the military and then a family. I have the HMS Bounty, Swift, Marie Jeanne, Tramontana "Llaud", Harvey, and the Bluenose II. Bought most of them when I got stuck in Singapore for a while. Maybe one day I will work on them.

Happy wife, happy life, as they say. But I wonder if she was surprised or pleased with your findings. Nonetheless it is an interesting video. I have to believe that Artisana Latina may not be too pleased or at least a bit chagrined. Thanks for making the video and thanks to Olha for prodding you. greetings from the Chihuahuan Desert Boat Yard.

Thank you for all these details, much appreciated.

I’m trying to decide what my second wood ship shall be. My first, completed last fall, was the Atesania Latina 1805 Swift which came out much better than I expected. It was an old kit from 1984 that I gifted to my long gone Dad back then which he never touched. Can’t decide what I want to try next but this kit interests me.

Thank You For This Excellent Video. Sadly, I Did Not See It Before I (Most Unhappily) Purchased The Pre-Built Version From Old Modern Handicrafts - - - Like The AL kit in your video, the OMH version is a “Mash - Up” Of the 1797 Frigate and the 1854 Sloop In Baltimore. Caveat Emptor, as the schoolboy Latin Phrase goes. It Would Be Really Excellent If You Could Find And Identify… From Somewhere In The World…. A Reasonable Museum-Quality Model Of The 1797 frigate USS CONSTELLATION. Thank You For Your Efforts

Even though it's the wrong name, it is atleast very nice to have a ship from the US civil war, that is not an ironclad, It is also funny to see the size creep you see to day, from back then. first it was a frigate, 50 years later it was only a sloop, same as destroyer now ar bigger then ww2 cruizers. and modern frigates are bigger then ww2 destroyers.

Hello Mr.Batchvarov, thank you for another interesting video. This reminds me of a book in my collection: "Modelling the USF Constellation" by Gilbert C. McArdle. With some historical notes and fold-out-plans, where you can see the round stern. Also the hull-construction and many details are described. I think this could be a helpful source to build the Artesania Latina kit in the correct time period. Greetings from Germany.

Muchas gracias!

Very interesting.

Once again I'm crestfallen with news of another kit falling short in accuracy! Still, an enjoyable build though.

Sloop of war

Thank you very much, Kroum Batchvarov 👍 good luck 💙💛✌️

This model seems to be a mish-mash of both vessels, as the 1854 sloop-of-war would not have had an open waist. Would it?

👍👍👍👍👍

That was realy good information. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. 😃 maybe you can help me with a problem. I am planing for a new project: A Puckle gun as full size rebuild. It was invented 1715 or 16 to equip english ships to fight smaler vesels but only a few were build. I have found some information and even the original invetion paper is around but it was not posible to find any useable details, rather anoying😮‍💨maybe you have any idea were to get some detail information.....
