Instead of ending abruptly, the hull sweeps up toward the galley, the keel, and the rudder. It is more likely that the Santa Maria would have been built with this style of stern. Therefore, my first step toward this build will be to modify convert the stern from a square tuck to a round tuck.

Hi Bug

Your Santa Maria looks great. Very good work. My current build Santa Maria has already got a "round tuck stern"

Quite impressive. A painstaking and relentless pursue of historic accuracy. Passion and love are the only way to reach that level of mastery. Congratulations. On my over 40 years of naval and aerial modelling, few examples of this modelling precision I have seen. 

 

I am coincidentally about to start building this same ship (Artesania Latina´s one) Referring to Xavier Pastor´s book (which I have also), I have noted that the mizzen mast is "wrongly" placed on the second stern deck (quarter deck), just in front of the captain´s cabin. Additionally, and as per videos on youtube of a full size replica recently built in Spain, the mast is on the poop deck instead allowing the "pinzote" (a stick that steered the ship before the implementation of the wheel timon) which is clearly depicted on those videos I am attaching their links here:

So the question here for you is, did you noticed this peculiarity before building your model? What would your advice would be in terms of making this modification to the model?

 

Again, congratulations and keep up the awesome work.

 

Cheers mate.
