Finally getting started on my Palamos. This is my first ship and I'm excited but I know I have a huge learning curve. Since I am new to this hobby, tips and suggestions will be greatly appreciated and no tip is trivial or unimportant. I have completed the basic hull structure. The next step is to glue the deck planking onto the deck. Based on feedback I have received I will be using Titebond II which I will apply with a brush. I will rub pencil lead on the edges of the plank before gluing to get the realistic look.

I have been building other simple models and decided it was time to pursue a life long dream of building a realistic ship model. My ultimate goal is to build a large ship with multiple masts and extensive rigging but I knew it was wise to start off simple so I have the Palamos Spanish Fishing Boat on order from Premier Ship Models. Even though I have a lot to learn and skills to develop, I'm excited to finally pursue this dream. The boat won't be here for a couple of weeks but I am very open to any advice or mentor suggestions. I'm really looking forward to this journey and making friends along the way.
