  1. Good luck with your SoS Hennie. It's a beautiful galleon. I will be following with interest. I just want to ask that why delivery took 8 weeks? Isn't it too long? Where dit it come from? Best regards, Mustafa

  3. Welcome back Vivian, it is a beautiful ship. Good luck wit her. I will be following.
  4. It looks she will be a beautiful ship when completed Anja. Good luck on this build. Mustafa
  5. 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
  6. I did something on poop deck and added a few planks to the upper hull,
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. I am on the deck now. And my shipyard which is in my living room . I am not sure if it is in the correct location. I wonder when my wife will banish me
