With close inspection of the finished hull, I noticed two areas that planks opened up slightly. They were not really easy to see but they bothered me and I would not be happy with the finished model if I left it. The old saying you are your own worst judge on your models. sanding down then primed the hull again ....ready for paint

Been awhile but got updated pics for my build. Alot of time been spent with sanding and painting. Enjoying this build and isn't that the reason we do this hobby. I believe the most important part of this hobby is having a comfortable chair...you will be spending alot of time in it. Thanks you checking in on my build.

Hull is finally ready for paint This kit does not supply a display stand. Before I begin the painting of the hull..it needs a place to set and not directly on the workbench. I began work on a display stand I saw somewhere on the web. I enjoy challenging myself to building all my display stands and not using standard stands. Some more sanding than either brown wash or stain to the stand.

This is my beginning of my build log of Marina II. I like working on working boats like this one. just completed my build of the mare nostrum another working boat by artesania latina. Looking forward to this build because the scale makes this boat bigger and have more details built on it.Thanks for stopping by my build log.

Well I am back at the workbench finishing up the build. I decided to put on my boat a fishing net. This kit did not come with one so I came across this green material while shopping with the admiral. Also bought some colored beads to help with the look of a fishing net. Would like to know what everyone thoughts are on this idea....

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal.
