I was actually thinking of doing some other model but decided to work on these two ships instead. Then will start with building.Īctually at this moment, i started to work on figures, Columbo and his crew, 10 figurines, by Artesania Latina.įirst the base coat was applied to all figures. Anyhow, Pinta will be the first one to attack.įirst will be making a copy of kit plans, trying to keep the kit plans unused. Not sure if this will work well, but would like to try it. My plan is to start making them in parallel, for example will make planking on both, will put the deck on both, etc. The foundings for Nina were not available so i was able to purchase only two models. This time i decided to go with Columbus ships, Santa Maria and Pinta. Since i am not quite a musician to enjoy the quality of Amati violins, i will stick with ship models.
