# 14. Forecastle, Hawse Holes, Clinker Great Arch, etc... Columbus Santa Maria. Scale 1/65

The construction of the forecastle, as specified in the kit instructions, does not conform to the reconstruction provided by Xavier Pastor. Therefore, I have decided to modify the model to make it more closely resemble the reconstruction. I will be redesigning the forecastle deck, creating a clinker 'Great Arch', installing a hatchway from the forecastle to the tilla, and positioning the ladder accordingly. Additionally, I will be revamping the hawse holes and adding some other smaller details.

-------------------------------------
🌊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, etc.
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.

Great work! Excellent! Can you please share cnc model? After all your videos I realized that I want to have my own cnc!)

That’s a good question though.
Before I bought mine one I have seriously considered “evo one” from Italy and Crabide 3D from USA. But finally I have chosen a local one - from Ukraine.., not because of logistics, but because of capabilities… first of all precision and repeatability equal to 0.025 mm and spindle capable to work with steel… I can give you a contact, but I’ m not sure the guy can deliver abroad, anyway let me know if you are serious, I’ll ask him.
