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.

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 🚢 😉

Well you guess it no delivery today😔,don't even want to talk about it lol, After I took the clamps off I glued a bit more inside, and got it ready for the 2x2 . Also drew lines where the bulk heads are , to me it make sense to start plaking the out side of the ship starting with these two planks, they are not glued waiting to make sure. I figured they must have had 20 foot planks for sure so . I said the ship is 60 feet long no one knows for sure lol, so made 10 cm planks to be my 20 foot planks. I like the deck coming nicely can't wait to put some finish coats on it.
