here are a few pics of my Sta. Maria that is almost complete. just need to make up some swivel guns and hang some flags (flags on order).
the frame was made from plans by Amati and modified using plans and pics downloaded from the web. I made her out of cedar for the planking, deck and various deck furniture while the masts are from oak, the yards from canarywood and a bit of walnut thrown in for various areas and parts where strength was needed. I tried to make up the flags and pennant but was not happy with the results. I can do british, french, dutch, and russian flags, but with the multiple shapes on the spanish, out of my league on those. Anyway, please let me know what you think of her.
