Only if you want to have the studding sails.

It’s a great reference book. Like I said before, I’m going to build mine from it.

Thank you both!
I forgot to mention the most important part, I had a lot of fun making them!

I came to the conclusion that the cutwater has to come off and be replaced. The profile of the one from the kit doesn’t match the profile of the one from the AOTS which has the plans that I’m using. I’ll make a card template to mark off my cuts on the model (to be made with a coping saw) and the piece of basswood that I will be making the replacement from.
I’m going to do that after I finish the entry ports (I hate leaving stuff unfinished), because I need to do that before I go too much further so I don’t damage all the rest of my work.
I’ll probably make the head at the same time (which is always a good challenge) so I can paint it when I start doing touch ups on the rest of the hull.

If you’re going to paint your model, basswood (or lime wood if you’re from Europe) works wonderfully for cheap planking material.
If you’re from the US, Michaels, Hobby Lobby, Lowe’s and Home Depot all carry basswood in the hobby section.

Well done! The Niagara is another ship that is on my to build list.

I have the Anatomy Of The Ship for the Granado. It’s on my to-build list.
I’m going to build it in 1/72 scale.

Sanding it between coats hides the wood grain.
I should, and probably will on my next build.

Until it covers well is my advice.

Ab,
How did you support the multiple decks?
