Good Quality very fast
Fast, correct, and good products. + a gift making the total experience supper good. I live in Thailand and expected some weeks before the parts was received, but within a day after the order the parts was shipped, and I could follow the shipment all the way to my door, within a week I had my product, and its in super good shape.

Fantastic experience, order was misplaced by courier, did not arrive, they rang me all the way to Australia, sent new order immediately, received within couple days, could not be more helpful. Spoke to alexandre. Will definitely order from them again.

I've made 12 of your sailboats
I've made 12 of your sailboats and the Mississippi King. I gave the first 10 to our local school district and the teachers love them! So this tug is my second one without sails. It is advanced level so the instruction were not a extensive as the others. And it is almost too detailed for me.
Your work is always top notch. You don't sell the Mayflower now so I bough one from China. What a disaster! Then I found your Mayflower on eBay and it looks great.
Your craftsmanship is amazing and all the pieces fit. You are my sole supplier now that I am completely hooked on this hobby craft.

First Time Builder
I'm a first time ship builder and they have been very responsive and helpful. Shipments to the US were amazingly quick. I highly recommend them. Model parts and instructions are perfect.

Decent model, looks good when finished. A number of items are out of scale but some corrected in the current version compared to pre 2021 series.
Instructions on DVD is a terrible idea. Who uses a DVD anymore? Pre 2021 had the small printed book plus instruction sheet. You Tube 10 videos moderately helpful.
New 2021 model uses plank on bulkhead, very difficult for novices and may make them quit early on. Pre 2021 used 1 piece sode, much better and then plank it on top using 1.0 or .05 mm.
Windows, stairs and shutters much nicer on newer models.
Instructions on DVD not in a format that allows it to transfer to a non DVD laptop. JPEGs do transfer.

Second Boat Model for me
I built the Swift a couple of years ago. Turned out great. Now I am into the Jolie Bries and am delighted with her shapely hull which is getting close to being painted.

High standard of model kits
Artesania Latina have ship model kits that are not found in other companies selling similar boat kits. The quality of miniature fittings supplied are of a high standard.

Nice models good details in youtube.
- The code provided by signing in on the newletter didn't work.
- I thought I bought everything that was needed to build the model but the items suggested in the website are not the needed items as shown on the youtube video.

HMS Surprise figures are a good addition to the ship model
The figures for HMS Surprise are well cast in metal, with a variety of sizes with the tallest being 6feet high to scale. Some of the legs look a bit on the thin side, others are of good proportions. All the figures are recognisable from the film and once painted, will bring the ship model into life.

Replacement parts for HMS Victory Anatomy
I made a less than perfect Orlop deck for HMS Victory Anatomy. I requested 3 sheets of replacement parts, explaining it was my error & would happily pay.
The 3 sheets arrived within 10 days, no invoice!!!!
Thankyou AL
Superb service & product….
Beautiful model.

I have nothing but great experiences . Produces are the best and fast once ordered. Was little disappointed in vasa . HMS victory I thought might be larger than it is specially since cost was much higher.one other thing , it’s difficult to make contact. All and all there’s no buddy better.

La precisione del taglio laser con le giunture ridotte al minimo per facilitarne il distacco è una delle cose più accurate! Credo che possiate fare ben poco per migliorarvi .... Good Job!!

YouTube Instructions Suck. Go back to printed instructions
I am on my 4 AL kit and have really enjoyed the first 3. The details and quality of materials are excellent for all 4 but with them going to a YouTube instruction model instead of printed plans on my latest kit, it's not the same. Having to replay the video numerous times to try to follow the directions takes away from enjoyment... I will really have to think hard before buying another AL kit, if they don't supply print instructions, I even told them I'd pay extra...

Produto muito bem embalado e rápida entrega para o Brasil .
Ainda não posso avalia a qualidade pois não iniciei a montagem.
Mas parece ser muito bom inclusive os manuais de montagem com traduções para o Português.
Gostei muito .

Hello!
Happy New Year!
First of all, I was pleased that the package arrived even a little earlier than I expected.
Otherwise...
This will be my second San Juan Nepomuceno. The first was built for a commission about 20 years ago. Now I've finally decided to build one for myself :).
I'm a little puzzled that the manual is now on CD. Few computers with CD/DVD drives are available these days. However, I hope I won't need it.
Replacing parts 29 and 32 seems like a good idea. The rest will be revealed during the rest of the build process.
Best regards and thank you very much!

The site was easy to use and helpful in choosing the product I was interested in. The purchasing process was easy to use. The only issue I had was the time it took to get through customs in Spain ( a little over 30 days). Artesania Latina processed the order very quickly. The order was delayed because of a paperwork issue with shipper in customs. Ordered on 11/26 and received on 01/9.

HMS Victory Anatomy Gift Pack
Ordering was easy and gift pack is value for price and included a few extra gifts. Delivery was smooth with updates sent at all stages. Could maybe think about adding some other items to pack like bluing liquid, varnish and white primer. Looking forward to starting this build project in the near future.

Not five stars because (1) in the Marie Jeanne instruction bible you use the terms "ws3, ws4". ws6" and the packets of wood strips in the box are not labelled, (2) you do not provide the squares of plywood to keep the U-shapes members perpendicular and thus parallel to one another. I know I will have further comments as I progress on the construction of the Marie Jeanne.

Great products, and lovely people to deal with …
Excellent response and assistance with a large order.
Dealing with Artesania directly is easy, although prices cannot take into account local taxes and import duties as well as currency conversions.
I would suggest checking prices and availability from local Artesania dealers before dealing with Artesania directly.
My order was a big one, and for me it made sense, and dealing with them was an excellent experience.

STUPEFACENTE
Non ho ancora iniziato il montaggio perchè il corriere me l'ha consegnato più tardi del solito, pur essendo arrivata il 23 dicembre nei loro magazzini, mi è stata consegnata solo il 29. Ma devo dire che il modello è davvero stupefacente, ci vorrà molto tempo nel montaggio del modello. Ma le istruzioni grazie ai video presenti su YouTube sono fatte molto bene e aiutano molto.
