    Yes, the wood its made of is really light, and if I place it like that it will ruin the model, so I need to darken it.

    The entire deck is finished, barrels are tied down, I glued down the cabin and storage openings, I painted the inside of bulwarks, and added the anchor. The paint on the hull is a bit messy because of the masking tape I used, but I think it looks alright, this is my first kit after all. Right now all its left is to make a rudder, the mast and connect the sail. Also I need some sugestions on which wood coating should I use since the wood for the whole sail rig is really light, and if I leave it like that its going to look ugly.

    I cant post any photos for now, because they fail to upload, but I will try later.

    Deck and the sides are finally finished, I primed the hull and glued on all the strips that went on the bulwarks. So the first page of the instructions is finished, and now comes probably the most involved part of the kit, adding structures to the deck.

    Its been a while since I posted but, I managed to build and sand the keel and plank the deck. As for those holes in the keel I filled them with scrap wood and just sanded it to fit in the groove, it may not look the best but couple coats of primer and paint will hide it. Now im wondering: do I varnish the deck first, and varnish should I use, because there are a lot of components that will be glued on the deck or do I continue building the ship and varnish the deck later?

    This is the best I could do, the picture on the box doesnt show the whole keel.

    Just started building the keel today, Ive followed the instructions and cut pieces to the picture, and when I assembled the keel there was this rather large hole on the stern of the ship. I didnt glue the together keel, and I need sugestions on how to fill that hole

    I ve read the instrunctions, and they dont use the waterline as a guide, but the first page tells me to paint the part below the waterline with varnish.

    So I took advice from you guys and made a build log, so far I managed to build a stand because I still dont have the right tools for the ship, and I really dont want to mess it up. Anyways I dont have a waterline marker yet, so should I start building the keel or plank it first?

    I have just recently gotten my first model, bregante by mini mamoli, and I need help painting it. I havent built it yet but I just want to buy all equipment I need at the same time. So I was just wondering, do I use a primer before painting with acryllic paint and what wood varnishes do you reccomend? Also do I put the varnish before I paint the model, or after its been painted? If anyone can give me answers I would be most grateful.
