The construction of my Christopher Columbus fleet is complete. I think this is my best ship so far.
-
Final stretch! There are only details left. 😄
-
Beginnings of manoeuvres with the rigging and mast halyards.
-
Current progress.
-
I'm starting to work on details.
-
OK. Effects before and after varnishing. Looks nicer
-
This time I would like to put varnish on the ship. I wonder if this is the right time? I've never done this before.
-
I added cleats and painted stern rubbing strake, side and stern strengtheners. I used Vallejo black acrylic paint for painting.
-
I've completed the construction of the rudder stick and the gunwale covers. I've started building the stern rail.
-
Unfortunately, I did not manage to put the second layer in accordance with the art. Maybe I don't have the skills. This is my current progress.
-
Thanks for the advice. I will try to make a second planking according to the art of boatbuilding I'll do my best😁. Why did I use pins? Because the manual said so. I will not use pins on the second layer. 🙂

I have finished building the first plating of the hull. Gaps and unevenness will be smoothed out with a wood putty. Next step is to carry out the second and final plating of the hull.

Work in progress.

Based on the experience of building previous ships, I decided to add the ship's keel and stem at this stage.It's my first time doing it so I don't know if it's a good move. In previous ships, installing them was the most difficult for me. Therefore, this time I want to try this method. I've already installed the side waterways. Now I will proceed to the initial hull plating. This may take me several days.

Third day of work. Upper deck under construction.
-
The figurines are very nice. There are only ten of them, so they may not be visible when I divide them into three ships. Today I just put the floor on the deck. I decided to divide the baswood battens into 6 cm long sections.They look more realistic now.
-
First day of work. The easiest part. The frame parts fit very well. I just decided to nail a few nails to the deck because I glued the rest. Then I filed down the front and rear frames. I don't know if I did it well enough. I will decide in the process of making the hull plating.

Before that, I made figurines from Artesania Latina. Until La Nina is launched, Vicente Yáñez Pinzón will wait on Santa Maria and oversee the construction. 😂
-
Hello. I am starting to build my third ship from the Columbus expedition. La Nina by Artesania Latina in 1:65 scale. I hope it goes easy, but not too easy
-
Great job. I'm waiting for more photos and work progress.

Hello. My name is Mateusz and I come from Poland (Lublin). I am a lawyer by profession. Model making is my hobby. I have already built two models. Santa Maria and La Pinta (Artesania Latina). I know they are not perfect, but they are my children and I love them I have two ships to build, La Nina (Artesania Latina) and HMS Victory (Mantua). I count on your knowledge and help.
