I have a question about bulwarks and decking but don't know where the correct place here is to ask.

Welcome Vince!

May be able to do a work around to get it to match the template. It would mean the total hull length would be just a tiny bit shorter if sanding the bow near the deck. But that's only a guess and a quick one at that! Hopefully more experienced modelers will chime in. Oh! And welcome to the group.

Thanks Jeff. Glad to be here!

Thanks. I'll start the Santa Maria prep work tomorrow and it'll be about a week until I start assembling the stem post, keel and stern post. And I'll visit some of the blogs here and see how they work so I can start my blog. I see you're in WI. I lived in Beloit for a few years before moving south to Warner Robins, GA.

Hello everyone. New member here! And Happy Easter to everyone! I started building models way long ago as a boy and on a summer trip my mom took me two Mystic Seaport where I saw and got on board the Charles W Morgan and that did it. I fell in love with sailing ships. Then life happened. Although a career in the Air Force and aviation (now retired and a volunteer at the Museum of Aviation), my interest in sailing ships never diminished. While stationed in England I restarted building model ships but this time the ships were wooden models from Billing Boats. I selected Billing because of their "star" rating system for beginner, intermediate and expert. My first was the Marie Jeanne. I have stayed with the beginner models building the Roar Ege, Oseberg viking ships and both versions of the Bluenose. I am now about to start the next level (Intermediate) with the Billing Boats "Santa Maria." I have just found this site while browsing the net for some hints on easier ways to make sails. Wish I would have found you sooner. Anyway, just wanted to say hi and I'm looking forward to gleaning knowledge from you and may offer some of mine. Never have done a blog so this will be interesting. Allen C
