I so want this to be easy, I want to post so it is not a problem.

So here we go again.

I have been working on the Revell Arizona and removed the molded-on railings.

Yes, that's how they should appear.
If the programme you used to re-size your picture to 1600 x 900 has a 'Save for web' or similar option, you should be able to leave the picture full size.

I have an update for the Nina. I reduced the plans, cutout the deck plan and marked where I will make changes.

I got a couple of things in the mail on Friday.

I purchased all three sets of plans for the Nina, Pinta and Santa Maria from Amati thru Age of Sails. I also order some styrene thru Amazon.

Ziggy, I am curious about the origin of the plans of Amati. Some time ago I corresponded with a Mexican modeler who was modeling a few of Columbus's ships. What you are doing seems similar work. Can you tell me something about them? Does Amati say who drew the originals?

Keith,
I am not really sure, but the plans show Piano costruzione art on them. I stumbled upon them when I found the image on-line that I posted early on this thread. I had trouble with the clarity of that image and found that Amati would sell the set of drawings. All had to do was reduce them. These models are bathtub toys, however, I thought I could make them better and I will. the hardest part is at this scale, getting the rigging to seem in scale is tough because they are so small. A 1/144 scale human hand would fit inside this 'o'
