  1. Well, first planking is finished, as well as the decks.  In my haste to get her done, I forgot to cut my decking planks to size, I used  a 80 cm , 40 cm butt shift  pattern . So I just penciled in the joints and nail holes on the poop deck. It will do lol.

     It is a small ship, so by the time you get all the deck furniture on, there's little deck left to see. I noticiced that on my Pinta.20230522_190847.thumb.jpg.9d5784c89e4389562bc164836945b3ec.jpg

    The plans said start mid ship with the planks, so that's what I did. I put on the first couple of bands then started at the keel and worked my way up. Fitting the last plank in with very little  problems.. so I move on to the decks

We have to take a week off to attend the first Mate mother's  celebration of life in the next province over lol. I will be very anxious to get back  🙃 .  But thanks to the internet  I won't miss a thing except  my ship yard lol . Later, all my friends.   20230530_170648.thumb.jpg.282847faa65f17d393d0c4122ecb59de.jpg

  2. Hello, today marks two years that I have been learning how to build models. I join MSW two years ago and I think I have not missed to many days scene  then lol.  I have  been having the time of my life, meeting  people,  getting to know some  as well. 

     I was going to start  my Pegasus,  but wanted to finish my Columbus ships. As  LA Nina will be my next build20230518_214107.thumb.jpg.1adc9ad7ab296faa79116cd720cc7cea.jpg

    The keel and the bulk head came together  nicely. So I move on up to the upper deck, and planked that as well  So Iam about to start planking. But FIRST  I will give  Chucks  video  one more go lol. 20230520_150718.thumb.jpg.271b955f3457327de15851883774315a.jpg

    Glad  to be part of this wonderful organization. Both the NRG and MSW have become important to me,  my recent panic attack 🙃 🙂  because I couldn't log on kinda  made that a little more clear.  So to everyone  who has put up a like or a laugh  thankyou so much.

      It will be hard for me to control myself not to rush this because I will be doing the Pegasus  right after  the Nina. I do have a Viking Long Boat  to do as well but I thought I save that for when I get boared  with the Pegasus  lol.

      Now on we go, video,  planking lol
