Well negations are still under way, it is tuff lol. Slowly getting it, and now allowed to post in my own log only, but I snuck in a few when they were not looking, lol, Got cost over run issues with the first mate ,this hobby can be costly . So I snuck an un specified amount of bulk heads and a few planks from La Nina, will look aright after some putty and sanding . And the life boat working on those things as well, the Pinta is in for repairs I can fix it but now do I have to call it a Bash kit lol. If not for a few here that have told me to keep going I would have packed it in, silly I know but human and their feelings. Just so you know I ask my son what's a post count , I told him that I posted a picture here and it said will not affect my post count he said what do you think a post count is I said I go to the pile need four post to fix the fence so post count is four he still on the floor laughing so hard but catching on lol, Sorry for all the confusion, I got this little miter box and a new set of tweezers' for the job, so will be able to make things a little straighter , better than cutting free hand. hope to know you all better as I get to learn my way around, need some rope and advice on scale but finding things better, and keeping thing realistic for that time period. thanks so much MSW, I join the NRG but I don't know how to put the logo on my page lol,

Back to The Pinta lol, planking is going good got them even at the front this time I broke a bulk head but it's OK, Funny note on the SM I made a mistake on the poop deck I let the sides of the ship flow out wards so it did not cover so had to add some side pieces, this time I fitted it first then realized that I had to remove the tips of the bulk heads lol. So had to add some to the side of the deck on the this one too lol 😆 . Well that's all I got. Thanks

On a side note, a friend of my moms is building the Astrolabe 1812. He found out I was doing modeling I went over wow , but he is old school and has less computer skills then me lol . A bonus for me because he has lots of the books people talk about here just thought you might want to look 😉 🙂

So now back to planking . I feel I don't have enough skill to plank the first layer they way the did. Back in the day. But like the Santa Maria, will plank the second layer right hopefully. Going to cut all second layer up so I have to do it lol, I love the finish on my SM but want to make the Pinta look different Lighter in color, most likely sanding sealer then lemon oil. 🍋 Need to learn about thread and were to get what kind so be reading about that, that's it for now .

Making progress 😌. Still can't under stand some of forms stuff, but my son is teaching me. Learning lots, don't want to ask questions that's been asked millions of times ,but if you don't know were to look .For the first year I never click on the banner that said , no modeling questions, lol I clicked on it found the form ,kid on the lose lol 😆 😂. Thought shore leave was punishment lol time outs lol . But all in all getting the hang of it so, again sorry for taking so long for the switch to come on. Well found a site that show how to blacken the side of your planks. Black marker, he did pastel, marker, black string. The pastel was messy ,string more then I wanted to do so marker it was. It turn out good for me . One thing is the colour of the stain I used for the floor, I should have used a light Grey stain but it will do. Because I did the Santa Maria floor want all 3 ships to have the same color.

What's a good kit for learning rigging?
Knocklouder replied to Mark m's topic in Masting, rigging and sails
Hello I need to learn rigging, I did it once by following logs, but had no ideal what I was doing, is there a book for rigging for my time for the period for up to 1500 AD, for first timeres riggers of course.plus what ever you tell me my son will download it for me. Lol thanks -

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.
