Great to see more of your work Jan.
The ships from the 15th century are some of my favorites.
Beautiful.

...and again...the first part of running rigging was finished.

Thanks Mike.

Then I sewed sails and started with the second part of running rigging.

The rigging was completed, only some of details remained: anchors, falconets, sloop, pumps, etc...

The ships from that era are such a pleasure to see,
You build them with great skill.
So good to see you presenting your work here again.
Bravo!

A stunning result, Jan. Thank you for sharing, and sorry to hear that last year did not go so easily for you! Hopefully 2023 will be a better one.

I have the 1/100 scale San Salvador model kit downloaded and was considering making it more realistic by planking the sides with strips of cardstock. Is this the method that Tomek's ship uses to achieve the planking as well? Did you paint over the planks before or after you attached them to the hull (as it looks like you painted them). Cheers!
