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

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.

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

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.
