Details on building models of the "Jolie Brise" at 1/10, 1/20 and 1/50 scale.
The Artesania Latina 1/50 scale kit comes complete with sewn sails. All the timber parts are lazer cut to a high standard. I show how to plank the hull and other areas where the information is lacking.
I show how to build the 1/20 scale model of the Jolie Brise from French plans, I have many pictures showing each stage.
The Jolie Brise has now been measured and photographed with the view to make a 1/10 scale model. Plans are now being drawn up.
