Today got to work on my build. I cut out the false keel, the frames and the stiffeners out of the laser cut sheets. The wood in the kit is great and the laser cuts seem to be right on so far. Began glueing the frames to the keel

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....

Started to work on the little amount of rigging the build has. This is my first time doing rigging and it a great learning experience to have when in this hobby.Here are some pics showing my progress.

Here are some pics to show where i am at in my build. I'm starting to get into the rigging of the build. Started to think about how I am going to put into this build a fishing net in the stern area of my Mare Nostrum.

Well I am back at the work bench again. Getting everything organized to continue my build and my build log of my Mare Nostrum. Just getting the tools out and refreshing my memory to where I left off......the boat building bug has started.

Got the hull fully painted. I have enjoyed this build and I recommend this kit to everyone.

This kit does come with a stand to display your finished Mare Nostrum. I didnt like the look of the stand, looked to small. So I scratch built my own stand. My first small step into scratch building in this hobby and enjoyed it. Pics are the stand holding the hull in its new home.
-
Got all sanding done with the hull. I have decided to paint my Mare Nostrum. Here are some pics of hull all primed coated.
-
Got the planking done. The pics are the sanding, filling and shapeing of the hull. Very happy with the outcome of the shape of my hull after the planking.

Got to step that I was most worried about..PLANKING. I got alot of info and tips for this step from other great members of MSW in their build logs. MSW, its moderators and administrators make this a great site for anyone in the hobby.

Got the deck shaped , fitted, and glued. I started the deck planking. Every step you get to see the shape of your Mare come together.
-
Here is pic of my progress of my build so for. Got the Mare on the build board to help hold it straight. Slow and steady to enjoy this build. Isnt the old saying, check all your fitted parts twice than glue once.

My first build log. I have fell in love with this great hobby. It is very rewarding to see yourself build a ship from a bunch of sticks, (as the wife calls this kit). Pic of the box Pic of materials
