Very neat and tidy job. And your work space too. The build really looks neat.
I like the barrels, Gives it a busy look.

Hi Andre.
That's a nice looking ship you have there.
Is that diagonal planking I see there ?.
Will follow along with this one.
Regards Antony.

Hi Andre, looks like you have done a great job on her so far. For being shelved for 6 years she looks like she has been well taken care of. I'll follow along with you and enjoy the show!

So i decided to try something on this ship . I read that the decks of ships were covered in tar then removed to seal the deck which would leave some black streecks on deck , so i took a 8H pencil and marked the side of each planks ....i think it looks good !
Decks ....done !!! Voila !

Hi Bug
Your Santa Maria looks great. Very good work. My current build Santa Maria has already got a "round tuck stern"

Don't get discouraged. But there are a lot of specific smaller tasks involved in rigging the mast of a sailing ship. My advice is to break it down one step at a time. Everyone here is delighted to help you but you will have to meet us halfway and ask specific questions. Descriptions of each part you are talking about will be important since there are specific aspects unique to each task. "Eyehole start with knot but don't know where to finish" isn't helpful since you are not being specific enough for us to understand which part you are talking about! Complicating matters at first ( but making it MUCH SIMPLER later) is the fact that everything on a ship has a specific nautical name you must learn. It's daunting having to learn the names of everything but if you can't use the nautical name you have to either give a lengthy deescription that identifies the part OR you have to provide photos with circles and arrows. But keep in mind that everything you see in the instructions has a simple explanation and you are perfectly able to accomplish the tasks you are facing. AND it's fun.

Jumped aboard, I am just ahead of you with this build, I have also mounted the deck. Good luck with your build.
