Santa Maria

[EdFisher]

I have built and completed a few ship since I've retired, Model Ship ways, Whale boat, Willie Bennett skipjack, Emma C Berry sloop and Ernest Hemmingway's El Pilar
Many years ago (1977) I started the ship Santa Maria, I believe it was a Billings model. I completed the hull and erected the masts but never finished the details including rigging etc.
If possible I would like a complete set of plans for this ship and instruction boot. If any member of the club could help me with this project, I would be very grateful.
Thank you
Ed Fisher

Hello, Ed. It looks like you are an old SOS member but unfortunately registered only 2 posts. Is there a possibility we can see your build log of your Santa Maria? Is it feasible? This way you can acquire many members showing an interest in your build log, and possibly better help (if needed). What do you think?
