Santa Ana 1784 by Tjdarla2 - Artesania Latina

[Tjdarla2]

     Started her in 2010, then RL got busy and she was packed away for 7 years. now is the time to get back to building her. I was lucky I packed everything away really good. had only a little damage, and I did that unpacking her.  

I don't have any of the pictures from when I planked the hull but will pick up my log from hear. this will be slow work for me I have not did any modeling in 7 years so don't want to rush back into things and make  any big mistakes. (more then what I have already)

Well it looks like I am banished to the laundry room to work on the ship. The wife works 2nd shift and I work 1st. So she sleeps late. And I enjoy getting up early. In a way it's a good thing,don't have to keep the area spotless.:)

Thought I should share this in my log. 

One of the biggest mistakes I made in the beginning was I didn't use filler blocks on the bow. When I finished planking it was flattened out in a few places. So I sanded the hull and put putty, ordered vener to do a 2nd. planking.

So the restart of the Santa Ana is to finish the starboard side vener.

We are doing the same build, glad to see yours.

Not easy to build and mistake are easy to do.

 

One advise for you;

always look ahead to protect you.
