# 7. Planking The Transom. Columbus Santa Maria. Scale 1/65

🌊 Get ready for more exciting progress on my Santa Maria sailboat model! I’ve decided to create a separate video focusing on the challenging task of planking the transom. While planking a flat surface may be easy, the hull planking I’ve already started requires extensive preparation, so I’ll be coming back with a second layer of planking later on. In this new video, I’ll provide more detailed guidance on this complex process to help you achieve an accurate and stunning model. Thank you for watching and for your continued support - I’m thrilled to share my progress with you and can’t wait to see what the future holds for this exciting project! ------------------------------------- Other videos from the Santa Maria series: ------------------------------------- In this video series, I am constructing a model of the Santa Maria sailboat - the largest ship from Christopher Columbus’s 1492 expedition. The model is based on a 1/65 scale kit from Amati. As Amati ship model kits are often simplified for easier assembly, I am making significant modifications and corrections to certain elements. To gain a better understanding of how to revamp these construction elements, I am utilizing various resources, such as ship modeling materials, online information about 15th-16th century sailboats, and Xavier Pastor’s book “The Ships of Christopher Columbus. Santa Maria, Niña, Pinta“ from the Anatomy of the Ship collection. However, due to the limited evidence available regarding the appearance of Columbus’s ships, I am allowing myself some creative freedom when building this sailboat model.
