I just bought a Sampang from Amati.
For my first production in wood, I chose a model simple enough to discover this type of assembly.

Very good, that you started this building log - a very good way, especially, if it is your first time building a wooden ship kit, to get help and assistance.
When ever you have questions or you need help - ask here in your topic - we will try to help best we can
The beginning of the construction
Many thanks for staring your build log, Levdueni! I can echo what Heinrich said...keep show your progress to us! I remember, you where building models from plastic. Is it your first model from wood? 
Yes, it's my first model in wood.
It requires a little more tools and preparation !

Good luck and if you need help or just simply in doubt- just ask, it is that simple!
Some colours and the placement of decks
The hull before latching
The hull of my sampan is finished.
I applied a pore-filler on the lattice without adding any varnish.
The planking and painting look very nice. Are the painted designs on the hull done freehand?
I copied the shape on plan and carried out the outline. Then the motifs are painted with a freehand.
You did a real nice job with it, I'll keep watching for more updates
Very good progress, very accurately built! Keep up the images posting, we are looking at your progress!

She looks flawless!
