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. Bob M.

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

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.

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. Bob M.

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. Bob M .

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 -

About the NRG
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. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
