sshadow9648 Posted February 19, 2014 Share #1 Posted February 19, 2014 (edited) The Bounty was not the smashing success I had hoped for but it did fuel the fire. My second try, the Santa Maria, will be bigger and more complicated and I have a childlike excitement going into the build. I have lots of new tools to play with and the kit came with gadgets and gizmos galore so I'm in hobby heaven. Progress is slow and the build logs are a great resource. I really appreciate the time that some have taken to to share their knowledge and experience.

sshadow9648 Posted March 10, 2014 Author Share #5 Posted March 10, 2014 After completing some parts of the build I decided to change what the kit provided such as adding chains instead of brass banding and modifying some of the railing, etc. I spent a good deal of time reviewing other builds to get ideas for improving mine. greatgalleons 1 Quote It is better to remain silent and thought a fool than to speak up and remove all doubt.

marktime Posted April 12, 2014 Share #7 Posted April 12, 2014 Watch those dead eyes. you'll have a better looking line if you keep them all orientated in the same direction. You've made good progress and the model is developing a "personality".

greatgalleons Posted April 16, 2014 Share #9 Posted April 16, 2014 This is a very nice build, I do not care for bath tub shaped Bark ships like the bounty. The Santa Maria was an enjoyable build for me also, rock on ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sshadow9648 Posted May 30, 2014 Author Share #10 Posted May 30, 2014 This was my second attempt at a wooden build and I have to say I don't hate it. On to the third.
