Hello, a small update on the painted one. The 3-hole violin blocks are on but not snugged up. The holes seem smaller and the rope is 3x the size of the holes lol, but they are on . The sails I like, it was fun attempting something new, I need to refine the process but I like the GAC 400, just got to learn better techniques but happy with my first attempt. One thing I did wrong was I painted the sails, before I knew about GAC. You are supposed to use the 400 then paint the sails ,it shows up when there is light behind the sails, but they look good to me when there is no light source behind them. I will just position the Pinta in the corner of the display case and no one will ever see the light coming though it.
The rigging and seizing have come to a halt because I forgot to install the ,Maneuvering racks laths on the main deck and bow, and the Manoeuvre holder laths on the stern. Two different names for the same part. Must have to do with where they are on the ship.. Easy fix, but I got to cut the 2x2 ,then paint them, let them dry and then I be good to go.
I am having so much fun, my head is spinning with all these ideas I get from looking at logs. Not sure which model I will "crack" open next hint hint. lol.
But I will finish the Pinta first. Then decide which way to go from there. So far the only thing I don't like about this hobby is computers and spelling lol. 🤔

I had to hang my sails to see how they would look, now all I have to do is the rigging, then some straighting up ,flags and done. Been a wonderful journey on this one. Hopeing to improve on my computer skill, but that's harder than learning how to build ships lol.
Thanks for the support and suggestions along the way, greatly appreciated. I will try to improve my ability to navigate through the forms. Pretty soon I will be done my second ship, 6 more to build before I can buy a new one lol.
I think my Pinta is going to look cool beside my Santa Maria, but I will do three or four other models before I start the Nina, one never know . Thanks so much everyone.

Today I used the GAC 400 on my sails with what I think are great results. Thanks so much for the tip. Reading the logs , or should I say looking at the pictures in the logs you come up with SO many ideals, you see one oohh I got to do that ,then you see another one and says I should have done that lol 😆
The GAC 400 was easy the way I did it, was brush on a good coat on both sides of the sails. Then shape them into what I thought would look like wind. Then let them dry. I also work on my sign , I just have to find a pearl for it.

Ahoy, I pulled the Pinta off the shelf, reciving my GAC 400 today.. I will attempt to document the process.. So I just have to curve my sails then hang them. How long can that take lol. .I can see the finish line on this one, and very happy with the way it is looking. I am improving a little on my builds,wish I could say the same for my computer skill lol ,sorry to all members for high jacking their logs, Very slow learner, and the typos lol. But I have only been a member for less than two years, and I had to learn how to spell, type, computers and how to build ships.
Ok , off to do the sails later all.

Wow, this is all over my head, I just wanted to send my grandson his build log, My son said don't worry about all of this, but now James is going to get involved, he's a busy man don't bother him. The son knows of my fear of authorities tells me if James is getting involved your getting booted lol. And I have not learned how to make water yet. lol.
Was not my intention to cause a problem

Well what can I say, my son read this and looked at me and said right click and save. All browsers are different, my question is too vague. I was not trying to back up, just copying that page for the grandson so he can see it some day, on his computer.
He taps me on the back of my head and said ask ship questions lol not computer questions 😅 🤣 We can green check this lol
sorry!! Lol
