Santa Maria - Artesania Latina 1:65

[Hatteras]

About one month ago I started a new build: Santa Maria by Artesania Latina, my third ship (as an adult, that is). This is not AL's present kit of Santa Maria, but an older one.
Once in a while I will be posting some pictures showing my progress, without adding much text, if at all. So perhaps not a genuine 'build log', but both questions and comments are welcome.
Here goes...

Nice to see the build of a ‘Bossche Santa Maria’, Mike. Within a radius of approximately 30 km.
Nice planking of the hull.
Regards, Peter

Excellent work, thank you for sharing. I like the way you did the deck planks. Keep it up.

1. Good work. Nice fotos.
2 I have a slightly battered 1970s kit of the Santa Maria. I think of its' present condition as being the result of a shipwreck on an unmapped shoal (tipped over in its' case due to a speedbump on a road in New Mexico) during a domicile relocation involving a very first traverse of the Northern Hemisphere ( a circumnavigation of - ?). I think I can use some of the design info from your fotos to good effect during its' upcoming as yet unscheduled rebuild.
3. Thanks!

Hatteras,

really beautiful and clean work. This will certainly be a little piece of jewellery. Keep up the good work and I will follow you ...

Cheers, Günther.

Nice start! I’m actually working on La Pinta right now, and La Santa María will be my next project, so I’ll definitely be following your progress and learning along the way.

Thank you Carlos. My next ship might be La Nina. I like the latin sails on that one. And after that maybe La Pinta.
