Ok well I finally got some time to giv'er lol .It has been quite the experience before Christmas the family was all sick but we are all better now. Then the rodents moved in turn the place up side down lol. So I decided to finish making the shrouds and deadeyes. Slow process, but at least some movement. I am so happy . I used a line to help line things up and soon had the plates and one shroud on the ship. I made the other shrouds and moved the string . I am still having the time of my life. Trying to learn how to build ships right is so much fun I can't believe I never got started before I did. Thanks so much for all the help . Don't mean to be a pest lol but I still have so much to learn and so little time giv'er I am up to 70 know lol. Just an old man having fun being 14 lol. Don't mean to butt in on others logs but some of them are so fantastic I just blurt right in. Ok Hopefully can get some more shrouds done and then and then yes rat lines. Let the song begin.lol I am liking this model once again lol Bob M.

Very nicely done sir: may I suggest that you make a display case for it soon. I had my Mayflower on the self for 10 months and was surprised by the amount of dust on it, and how long it took me to clean it lol. Amazing work, looking forward to starting mine and following your next build. Bob M.

Hi Tony, the choice is yours lol. I have done the Amati Santa Maria and had the time of my life, it was my first build. I have seen great logs for both Amati and AL. check out all the builds for the Santa Maria and pick the one you would like, both will be a lot of fun to build. I can only say that the instructions were lacking but the quality of the wood was excellent and with the help I got here and I needed it lol, I pulled off a nice build I think. Or just buy Both LOL

Hi Dave, my ship is from Amati. And my beak is plastic and it touches all sides. It looks like you can take the side your fingers are on and sand it off then cut the bow piece a little smaller, but that may not be right. . My friend @David Lester has build a Billings Mayflower you may ask him . Check out his log for his Mayflower, I am sure you'll copy his crows nest at least. His is one of those magnificent logs that make us newbie drop our jaws in amazement . Hope this helps.

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
