Artesania Latina Fittings

Artesania Latina Model Ship Fittings & Parts:

Artesania Latina fittings provide the small-scale components needed to build, repair and detail wooden model ships. This collection focuses on model ship hardware, rigging fittings and decorative details, with a wide selection of individual parts in different sizes and pack quantities for precise scale modelling.

Rigging Blocks, Rings & Deck Fittings:

The range includes single and double blocks in sizes from just a few millimetres, along with specialist two-hole blocks, lanyard dead eyes, fairleads and beige rigging thread. Brass rings are available in several diameters, while other fittings include brass belaying pins, silver eyebolts, chain links, cleats and bitts.

These components allow modellers to select individual fittings according to the dimensions and rigging requirements of a particular ship rather than relying on a general-purpose assortment.

Cannons, Anchors & Scale Ship Hardware:

For period sailing ship details, the collection includes brass cannons, cannons with carriages, bombard cannons, Victory-style cannons, cannon balls and cannon ports. Anchor options include different shapes and sizes, including Spanish-style anchors.

Deck and structural details extend to horizontal and vertical capstans, lifeboat davits, window frames, hinges, columns, treenails, grating, boom jaws and buckets. The range also includes small metal propellers, steering wheels and metal boats for other marine modelling applications.

Materials & Sizes:

Artesania Latina model ship fittings use materials suited to the particular component, with brass and other metal parts represented alongside wooden fittings. One example is the 32mm horizontal capstan made from walnut and beech wood.

Dimensions vary considerably across the collection, from tiny 3mm and 4mm blocks and rings through to larger fittings such as 45mm lifeboat davits and 50mm anchors.

Choosing Artesania Latina Fittings:

Scale and dimensions should be the first considerations when selecting replacement or additional model ship parts. Check the stated millimetre measurement, component style and pack quantity against your model and plans. For rigging work, also distinguish between single blocks, double blocks, dead eyes, fairleads and other fittings, as visually similar components can perform different roles within a detailed wooden ship model.
