Hi, Dan,

 

I've added the thwarts (but pics : 🤢) :

 

 

 

 

[CRI-CRI]

I've numerous "nice details" to do before the end of the ship's boat :

 

 

[daniel.b]

It's good to have a planning!

[CRI-CRI]

Good, indeed, and necessary

 

This Niña is a scratch built without any serious draw...   ☺️ 

[daniel.b]

Don't you have this drawing
this canoe has no mast!
(drawing by X Pastor)

[CRI-CRI]

Thanks, Dan,

 

It was my first idea, no mast...

 

Someone said to me that it had no rear chamber, but I can also add such a disposition, and reduce to three the number of thole-pins each side

 

I have any book about the Niña  by Pastor, I used just a summary HTML copy of hull's frames for my built, with several great errors I tried to fix

[CRI-CRI]

Rear thwarts, and three lodging knees done :

 

 

 

Planning update : green color = done, red color = to do, and black draw = thole-pins 

 

[daniel.b]

By scratching a little, you can refine the angles of the transom. But you have an extra lap bench. If it's too late, too bad!

 

(En grattant un peu, tu peux affiner les angles du tableau arrière. Mais tu as un banc de nage en trop. Si c'est trop tard tant pis! )

[CRI-CRI]

The space between the thwarts is constant (number after length of boat), at size, it gave what I did, with only three,  it would be too large

 

I have rectified the rear knees, and added the three provided iron rings :

I'm happy, ship's boat done :

 

 

 

[daniel.b]

Very fine!

The boat looks great.

she looks lovely. I specially like the fact there is no cannons and minimum of rigging to do...

and as I have just discovered your log I don't know if you have been told your log is in wrong section...

[CRI-CRI]

I found the latin rigging much more difficult than the classical squared  rigging, it looks easy, but it isn't...

 

About the classification of  my built, sorry, am I also right : it's a scratch built, not a kit, and more, without verifiable historic

source, following an original method, starting from logical reasoning to compensate for the lack of reliable documentation 

 

I hope that you will,nt be disappointed... 😘

[maaaslo]

Its the amount of rigging that appeals to me. I am building Pinta, scale 1/96 from Shipyard, paper model. It has a little bit more rigging, but still less than USS lexington. Thats why i will finish it sooner.

regarding category, year of built puts it in build logs for vessels built prior to 1501. You put it in 1501 and over. Its only slight oversight which does not bother me that much. Only some people searching for logs according to year of building wont find it.

[CRI-CRI]

I understand you're right, latin rigging of Niña is 1492 dated  

 

The administration of MSW could perhaps move this log in Middle-age section, before 1500 AD ?

 

I prepared this morning the mizain rigging :

It's time for sunset pics :

 

 

[daniel.b]

Yes Sir! It's very fine.

Since you approved the idea, CRI-CRI, I went ahead and moved this to the proper area.
