Vanguard Models Lady Eleanor 1850 ship model kit in 1:64 scale. The length of the ship model is 380 mm, the construction is mainly made of wood with small accessories, the building plan is also included. Laser cut parts, metal parts.
Lady Eleanor is suitable for both beginners and experienced modelers who want to build something completely different and break new ground. Although this kit is primarily aimed at beginners, it is by no means cheated when it comes to mock-up design. This kit is an ideal entry into the world of building models of ships with sheathing (keel frame) and the modeler will gain a lot of valuable experience with this construction. A full-color building guide, it guides you step-by-step through the construction of the fuselage and assumes that the model builder is a complete beginner with little or no prior knowledge. There are 8 plans available, containing all the information needed to build masts, booms and rigging.
The stylish box with a photo of the finished model is carefully, tastefully and qualitatively graphically designed and contains the name, technical data and scale of the model.
After opening the lid of the box, you will find wooden parts of the plywood model, a set of moldings, small parts sealed in bags, a set of drawings and a manual.
The set contains a complete set of drawing documentation of the model in a 1:1 scale with images of individual details. The drawing shows to scale the assembly assemblies, their completion, including masts and booms and the method of tying the rigging. The multilingual construction process provides a framework for the logical assembly of individual components.
The Lady Eleanor was a standard and very efficient fishing boat that could be seen in the waters off the east coast of Scotland from about 1850 and operated for about a century. This very popular and successful sailing vessel was a real workhorse for Scotland's fishing communities, particularly in herring fishing.
Vanguard Models was founded by well-known model ship designer Chris Watton, who has been responsible for Amati's recent model ship designs, particularly the Victory Models series. Now, as an independent manufacturer, he consistently realizes his ambition for the best possible fidelity to the original and the highest quality of material. He uncompromisingly introduced the production of parts from noble wood with laser engraving, and it is also important for him to produce perfect construction instructions with hundreds of color photos so that the models are a pleasure to build even for inexperienced modelers. The high quality of the material and the well-thought-out design are definitely worth it.
Intermediate kits are suitable for builders who have already built a simpler model for beginners and have basic modeling experience. Models of this difficulty are more elaborate, contain more details, and construction is more time-consuming.
To simplify construction and achieve a perfect result, we recommend buying a set of pre-sewn sails for this model.
For construction, we recommend buying tools, glue and paints.
Building model ships requires the right tools. We recommend an excellent set of Modelcraft tools for ship modelers (set of 12 pieces), or Modelcraft tools for modelers (set of 18 pieces). We also recommend the purchase of nylon clamps and indispensable modeling pins. We recommend a modeling mat for editing, precise cutting, gluing parts and also as table protection.
For gluing, we recommend universal dispersion glue and Robitronic instant glue medium 20ml. We recommend acrylic enamel paints for coloring. Apply colors with quality brushes (flat brushes for surfaces, round brushes for details).
