A few pics of my San Martin Spanish Galleon 1/90 scale all wood kit, this model is a double plank on bulk head kit, finished kit length is about 27 inches, so far all the bulkheads are glued to the keel as are all the decks and gun port boards, all decks have been covered with seprate planks of Ramin and all the hatchways have the African walnut trim installed. I have already started the first layer of hull planking and will post new picks when its done, should take about 2 weeks. Any and all comments welcome.

Very nice, RV!
I'll have to agree with Rui on the speed of your work, mate!...looking forward to seeing more of this build! The African Walnut trim is fantastic!...nothing quite like the look of a good wooden ship model.

Thanks guys this kit presents much more of a challenge because of the double planks, the first layer is going well and i hope to finish it at the end of the weekend. This kit is well designed with good instructions which acounts for some of the speedy construction, also i am off from work this week which will allow me to get alot of work done.
