Forecastle fence is in progress. This handmade kit originally includes those laths in following picture but i decided not to use them and i am making fence instead because i have seen a lot of Santa Maria ship model on the internet and most of them were with fence. I think it will look better.

a few details on the model

Railings are complete and in place but not glued yet because they need to be tung oiled before i glue them. BTW i had a cute visitor at my balcony yesterday Mustafa

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.
