Hi everyone. I am a new-bee in building wood models. This is my first build of wooden sailboat model. So far I have made a few plastic models of a Revell. In Croatia model of the ship is sold in serial of 100 weekly magazines (a few wooden or brass parts is enclosed in each number). Until now serial reached number 54. I build model over one year now because I must wait each number to arrive at a newspaper kiosk.I apologize for my English if it is not very well. The ship was build in Toscanna (Italy) around 1589-1593.Here is a few pics( taken with cell phone camera because of size-to be smaller) of my build log until now:

At the end of the summer I done all necessary to start the first layer of planking.

Just started with the first layer of planks:

And after completed first layer of planks started making bow(made from pieces of plywood):

The final result before second layer of strips:

Started second layer-right side:

And completed the left side:

Setting strips to the top edge railing:

Placement of stern decorations:

After application the second layer of wood stain colour the model is drying on showcase:

While the model is drying, I started making winches.Here is photo how they imagine it in the journal( I do not like it because there are some plywood visible parts ):

so I started to doi it on my way:

This is it for now. In next post I will upload some more pics.Best regards to all the modelers.

Thank`s everyone for your welcome and comments.I`m a little bit short with my free time because my wife give me a plenty of tasks for Saturday, but in the evening I hope will have more time to respond and thank`s everyone.I transfer few more pics to laptop so I will attach it in the evening. Now I send doors at the bow, upper part of the winch (just dry fitted for probe), and installed water pump.

If that's your first wood model, you're doing an exceptionally good job on it.
The planking looks superb, but the rest of it is also very nicely done.

Thanks, AEW. Yes, this is really my first build of wooden model.

Last evening I finished montage of winch ,

and started work on bow part of keel.It`s made from two parts of plywood so it doesn`t look nice (it`s very visible that this is plywood) so I decided to cover it with strips.

For the end, I place picture from magazine in post that you can see how galleon will look at the end of build.

Kind regards, Miljenko
