Hi, does instruction manual suggest that type of lower hull planking? Santa Ana is a very beautiful galleon. In my opinion, if you tapered planks at the bow and made all planks parallel to water line she would look much nicer. I am sorry for criticism. (i assume this model has one layer of planking) Mustafa

Small updates on her,

Tung oil application on the decks. Process is like this; I apply tung oil by a paintbrush to the deck surface, to help for penetration of the oil, i sand the surface by No:1000 sandpaper and finally, i clean residue of oil by a piece of cotton fabric. I repeated this process 3 times after oil dried. Result was very nice, i got a quite smooth surface and a natural look. Tung oil is a good wood protector also.

Hi Richie, no he didn't design the model. He has a plan of the ship and he just cut bulkheads, false keel and decks according to that plan. The wood that i used in hull planking is magohany.

Hull planking has been finally completed it took more than 2 months because besides i had limited time to work on, i only used white carpenter glue (needed to wait for drying of glue) and the widht of the strips were only 3 mm which means i had to prepare (cutting, tapering, soaking, bending) a lot of strips before install them. Time to go up to the deck now
