Ship modeler Jon Peterson has been sharing an update on his build of Artesania Latina’s Vasa kit. This 1:65 scale wooden ship model kit is a big one, measuring some 42″ long when complete. Jon has completed the hull planking and is making very good progress.

He comments that he likes the Artesania Latina kit, “because the instructions make it easier to complete certain steps on the construction. Nothing is left to guess work because of the pictures. They have a lot of tools to make your modeling go to the next level, and the design is easy to follow.”

Jon kindly provided us with some photos of his construction process to share with our readers here.

While he acknowledges that he has a long way to go on the model due to limited time available to work on the model, it’s clear he’s making great progress with beautiful results! We’re hoping he continues to share photos of his model progress with us.
