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.

Wow some awesome work. If you don't mined me asking  😤  how many hrs are you up to now. Really great work  

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

Good luck on your journey!!  

Congratulations, it looks awesome.    

Congratulations, your ship looks awesome    

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. 

Well it looks like we got this all Tied up. Thanks

Gregg, you do some awesome work. Thanks for posting, I am trying to finish a Mayflower, and was thinking off finishing off a Bluenose model  that a friend started but eye site and shaking hands he had to stop. And gave me all his shipyard stuff. One of which is The Bluenose , so I will follow along if you don't mined.

Yes ,that turn out really nice, its

awesome.  That's what I want to try too! There are so many shades of red, but I like this one.Here is what I got and with luck and a lot of guidance  it should look similar to yours. How does that saying go The highest form of flatter  or praise is mimicking  which I intend to copy yours its so cool. Thanks again

It sure is looking good, could you tell me the name of the color that you painted the lower hull I know its red but what  which manufacturer that sort of thing ?. I inherited  a billings Bluenose, it is half finished, but I need to repaint it, it's gold right now but I need to fix it up and would like to paint it like yours . I am starting a journal for this ship and will write it down right away lol.I know when I finally get around to  finishing it I will be looking at this log lots. Thanks so much.

Good luck on your journey.

Hi Mark, I see you still live close to The Hague lol.  My First  Mate used to live near by In PA. And she has a sister who lives in Warman  I think lol. Anyway  we all  called that town The  Hague lol For some reason I like to see this ship being built  I am A relatively newbie but will help if I can, or at least find somebody who knows lol. 

Good luck on your journey   

There is a sequence  for rigging 

Kevin your log is one of the kind a newbie like myself  see and it so overwhelming  good  I fear the journey .  I always follow your build and advice, except  about the First Mate, I learnt she wins all the time.lol 

Just had to say fantastic work. 

Very nice, I would not fear the rigging by looking at your attention to details.  Plus I hear that  Vanguard Models have the best plans and instructions, and if you get stuck  you got a direct link here to all the help you'll  ever need.   All 45,700 and some of us lol.

Good luck on your journey.

Something  I wished I did was a half hull project  from NRG. It looks like a great tune up,  check out the NRG store, great wood clear installation.  Just a thought 

Congratulations   very nice work    

I think it's here , I hope to be working on it Monday we will see
