My first Build Viking by Artesania latina

[Ata]

i choose this to avoid rigging as much as possible for my first build. I learned alot especially on side planking, I made huge mess and had difficult times and sand most of the imperfections.
Its not piece of art but in the end i am happy with result, currently i am waiting for wood stain walnut, after mast and oars my ship will be done,
I ll post those steps as well, my next kit will be Occre Polaris, after that i am planning to attempt mellpapa's blackpearl stracth build.

thanks Uwe, i was checking your actual on bench project and i have a question,
i watch some Spanish guy video on same model as mine and he was using nails and nail pusher for fixing planks on side.
when i try on my planks they snap or split, how did you fix those nails on your project without damaging planks? is there an easy way or are you using special nails?

you have to pre-drill a slightly smaller hole before you press a nail through the hole
Drilling makes maybe the difference
