Hi everyone, I started scratch build of a Columbus Santa Maria according to an Anatomy of the ship book by Xavier Pastor. It seamed to me it would not be a too difficult job since I have a book and just need to follow it, but there was equally time spent on thinking of how to build something or deciding in what way to build since plans have decent amount of inaccuracies and lack of details.
When you compare body plan with sheer and half-breadth plan and measure everything this what you get. This is in milimeters. I took that sheer and half-breadth plan are more accurate.
One ladder not two.
Had to add the this for main yard hoisting.
Cleats are on wrong places, found out later when started putting the shrouds
Absolutely no cleats for fastening all the ropes, also lack of better explanation of how forecastle is constructed.
Two different fore stay versions 
Spritsail is too large, spritsail on the previous picture is better
This framing is not in an alignment with other plans, so much correction is need if you want to make admiralty model or just to match visible frames with other plans.
There are some other mistakes I can't remember now, for example anchor is too big for the scale so adjustments are needed. Much care is to be taken studying plans before starting the build. I don't have so much experience so i didn't see all of this in advance.

The hull technique works well just needed to think little bit about how to get head of frames already done without having to glue each one separately. They are 2mm wide. planking is 0.5mm
