Lindberg 1/144 Ships of Columbus, the Nina
Re: Lindberg 1/144 Ships of Columbus, the Nina
That is tiny! Nice work.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

1/144 scale. 1 actual inch equals 144 scale inches or 12 scale feet. Three inch long deck, means 36 foot long in scale...
You’re off to a great start!

Lyle, No worries, Mate! My weak attempt at sounding like I am from somewhere other than North Idaho.
Stikpusher, I was kinda vague on the deck measurement, 3 and 3/4 long, so 45 scale feet. The hull measures 4 and 1/2 inches or 54 scale feet.

Re: Lindberg 1/144 Ships of Columbus, the Nina
This is brilliant man! Excellent work here, I'll be following along well.
I actually have an old 1/96 scale set of all three of these ships offered in one box. I believe I even started them, but have no idea where they are now.
This will be fun to watch!

Great scratch building skills. What are your plans for her sails? I imagine a good set of sails and rigging are going to help define the project. What a goal—to turn bathtub models into accurate ones! I am onboard for the ride.

Bruce, thanks for the comments, they help me keep going!
I will use painted coffee filters with small gauge wire hidden around the edges to shape them.

Duke, thank you for showing interest in my build. I have to tell you about a conversation with my wife.
'We are modelers - the same in spirit, in hunger to insanely buy newly released kits, hustlers in hiding our stash from our better halves and experts in using garbage as replacements for after-market parts.'
... and she could not stop laughing!
This is my new motto, thank you.
