A few Christmases ago my youngest daughter gifted me the Lindberg 1/144 scale box set of Columbus' three ships.
I built the Nina and Pinta a long while back. It was quite a challenge to make those very plain and simple models look respectable. And this last one was no exception.
I had to add a lot of detail. The stern was just a blank, no channels, the super thick flags attached to the masts had to be removed and replaced with new flags. A stern spar was added and the anchor modified. Like the other two models, the supplied cannon were from a much later era so I had to make some short ship bombards to fit the narrow space available. I also added gratings and coiled ropes where I deemed appropriate.
Thank you for stopping by. I'm not sure what I'll work on next, there are so many ideas floating around up there.
