Newest Kolderstok kit now is now in stock at Ages of Sail: 17th Century Dutch Pinas Cross-Section Model Kit.

This is a transverse section of a 17th-century Dutch pinas, including 3 pieces of armament and authentic blocks. Designed after the original 17th-century description by Nicolaes Witsen.

The pinas was a transverse-rigged merchantman, relatively slender in shape and easy to sail. It was frequently used by the then Republic of the Netherlands for trade voyages all over the world. The ship could carry a large amount of trading goods, but was also equipped with plentiful armament, to protect itself and her cargo against potential enemies.

This cross-section shows the part of the ship around the main mast, including spindle, servants, pump, galley and guns. It is open on one side and fitted with skin planking on the other.

The kit includes fully laser-cut parts, a detailed step-by-step manual with text, photos and (original) illustrations and several authentic parts. During construction, it gives a unique insight into the shipbuilding method which was common for Amsterdam shipyards in the 17th century.

This section is in scale 1:50. When built the model is 165 mm long, 165 mm wide and 490 mm high. It is supplied in basswood and can be brought to a vivid color with special stains and paint which can be bought separately. Difficulty level 1-2 on a scale of 4, for both beginners and advanced builders.

AGES OF SAIL

Cross section kits are a great way to do some ship modeling while adding all the small details of the inner workings of the ship, yet in a model that takes up far less time and far less space than a full ship model. Introducing Artesania Latina’s latest kit, the Cross Section of HMS Victory in 1/72 scale.

For a long time, Corel’s cross section model kits of HMS Victory was the only one on the market. While it’s a fine kit, it’s also a very old style of kit with it’s materials and instruction. It was also a smaller sized, 1/98 scale kit.

Artesania Latina recently released a new cross section wooden model kit of HMS Victory in 1/72 scale, which is as big as the largest scale HMS Victory currently available, Caldercraft’s 1/72 scale HMS Victory kit. But with this kit, you can focus on the inner workings of the ship, without the rigging, and without dealing with the complex curves of the full hull shape.

Study the inner workings of the ship as you build the model, adding hammocks, rigging the guns, adding the bilge pumps, beams, deck planks, ballast, and more. The kit even includes a set of figures to help bring your model to life.
