paul brown Posted July 23, 2017 Share #1 Posted July 23, 2017 When I joined the MSW this past April, I asked how I might get some help building the Amati Santa Maria, for which the company's instructions set a record for missing or flat out contradictory instructions! I was told that someone might agree to be my 'mantor', and I now post this plea for help! I am experienced in fairly complicated paper model chateaux and cathedrals, but this is my first wooden model, and I am frankly appalled with Amati's failure to include a clear and accurate set of instructions (and possibly even instructions for a slightly different version than I bought (not a confusion of 'First Step' with 'Full Build' versions).

cdogg Posted July 24, 2017 Share #2 Posted July 24, 2017 Did you start a build log? That is the best way to get help , take pictures of each step, people will help along the way, some members are more helpful with hull building, some with rigging, some with planking, etc mtaylor, coxswain, Canute and 1 other 4 Quote Casey "I drank what?" - Socrates Current Builds: Corel Scotland Baltic Ketch 1775 AL Mare Nostrum 1/570 RMS Titanic - Revell Plastic Model Kit Finished Builds: Midwest The Dinghy Midwest Chesapeake Bay Flattie Midwest Muscongus Bay Lobster Smack Future Builds: Mamoli Golden Hind Mamoli Black Prince AL Swift Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul brown Posted July 29, 2017 Author Share #3 Posted July 29, 2017 I'm not sure this message will be delivered to Modlerbob and cdogg, but thank you for replying. I see no builds - past or present - of the Santa Maria when using that as a search phrase, and so I guess I will have to 'start a build' topic and hope for the best... paul brown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knightyo Posted July 29, 2017 Share #4 Posted July 29, 2017 Hi Paul, I'm also looking forward to seeing your build log. Cdogg hit the nail on the head with his post. Once you post a log (with photos), people will start offering help when you ask specific questions.

Heronguy Posted July 29, 2017 Share #5 Posted July 29, 2017 Paul, there are a couple of Amati Santa Maria build logs. Perhaps you can glean something helpful from them as you get underway. shipcarpenter mkmossop mtaylor, Canute and Oliver24 3 Quote Doug Current Builds: Bluenose II - AL / Krabbenkutter / Prince de Neufchatel / Essex Cross-section / Syren / Barque Stefano / Winchelsea / Half Hull / Maria HF31 - Dusek / Bandirma - Turkmodel On the Shelf: Santisima Trinidad and Cross Section / HMS Cutter Alert / Tender AVOS / Confederacy Suspended Build: Bluenose II - Billing Boats Nr 600 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony Posted July 30, 2017 Share #6 Posted July 30, 2017 Hi Paul I have been building the Amati Santa Maria. Although due to circumstances its been a few years since I have touched it but my log is still on line.
