Caravel "La Niña" XV century

[Dave boatswain]

Here is my model of the La Niña caravel, scale 1:72, scratch build. I have depicted this model with lateen sails, although it is believed that Christopher Columbus replaced them with straight sails in the Canary Islands. Due to the fact that this is my first model, mistakes were made on it due to ignorance and lack of experience. The build was carried out from April 2023 to August 2024, that is, 1.4 years. Thank you all for your interest.
