That is so cool,  Looks really good ,I know I copied more than just your life boat for mine, well done,

Hello all got my Sea of Galalie boat today can't wait to start it, I have been buying way to many  tools and models so now I have to do some side jobs, I am a journeyman painter and everyone wants their  place painted be for freeze up, and I got the Inside of a church to do so will be busy till Christmas  then I am retiring again lol . I hope I can do some modeling, but I see long days ahead so I don't think I build much till Christmas  but will pop in on rainy days lol Take care all my friend's  I will miss you lol,

Just read your log great job,and you tackle all the problems  so easy . It does look really good 👍 👌

" . . . 99.9% of the people who see your model in the flesh won't know a rudder from an udder . . . "  totally priceless

Looking really good I think I am just as anxious to see your sails as you are , your detail is amazing

Bob it is

Don't know Mike, but I will let you all know how mine works when I figure out how to use it Lol

Oh yes did I mention that I got this to help out in my builds lol Really have to thank everyone I see the difference in my work thanks to the right tools and jigs.

 Till next time 

Thanks everyone,  😊   I got really busy at work and now I won't have as much time for the Pinta, but I am sure I will sneak  some time on it  lol,got some thread from a fishing box, looks good to me  For around the sails , and  more line for rigging ,plus what's in the kits them self  I should have enough.   And besides the sea of Galalie boat, I ordered the Viking Long Boat and the mayflower  both from Amati.     And when I finish this side job I am on ordering  the Pegasus  from Amati, I know I gone shop crazy  lol.

The place to be!!! Welcome Steve.

Well done it really looks good, I got one for my the Granddaughter, but I think 🤔  I do it my self lol . Very nice model,

Planking the side now should go ok everything look like it supposed to.I have a hard time figuring out the right layout for the planks but once you lay that first strip across the rest just fall into place,  the sealer really makes the grain of the wood stand out I like it. Can't wait for the planks to be done so I can spray the whole ship. The pace may be quicking, BECAUSE I order The Sea of Galalie  boat, it will be here in a few days.  Was going to build the Nina next, but me thinks I jumb into the Galalie boat  lol. Most likely start a new log for it soon,  got the first mate started on the sails for the Pinta ,and found piles of old old fishing line that looks like rope to me so will be using that for the sails . It starting to shine love it, well that all I got  will take more pictures of the planking process  as I go along . So  it won't be long till I up date again. And the new tools and  jigs for cutting are helping I notice an improvement in the ship  🚢 😉 

So today I sprayed shellac sealer on the deck and the stren. Also had to take this plank off its a different withed, left overs from the Santa Maria , I  never notice till Went to put the second one on,

My family think I have lost it , but I am old time running out we got ships to build lol .
