Welcome Ben, Guy and Lochsa.

I have started a new build which will be my second ship and not only in a different style to the Drakkar, but more complex as well. The Nina which was the smallest of Columbus' three ships.
For seasoned builders (which I do not claim to be) this kit is a relatively simple model, but I have set myself the following objectives:
Make a historical accurate model and depict the ship as it left Spain in 1492. There are very little known about the ships. I have therefore settled on what is considered to be a good reference book covering the three ships.
Post building log following the order indicated by the instructions of the model.
Correct the camber of the deck and try out nibbing the edges of the deck.
Light the model.
Making the first layer of planking as perfect as possible.
Paint the hull black below the water line to simulate the tar that was used to waterproof the ship.

After securing the main deck in place, I will leave the parts to dry properly.

I never realised that ships had convex decks, but it does make sense. Water will drain overboard and as the ship rolls the shape will lessen the tilt of the deck making it easier for the crew to move around.
