# 6. How to make a Crow’s nest. Columbus Santa Maria. Scale 1/65

🌊The crow’s nest, provided in Amati’s Santa Maria kit looks very fine but somewhat artificial. In this video, I’ll try to redesign it. This is just a kind of model-making experiment. So, have fun! ------------------------------------- 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. Since Amati ship model kit designs are often simplified for easier assembly, there are certain elements that I will significantly modify or correct. As I construct this model, I will demonstrate how I make these modifications to enhance the accuracy of the final product. To achieve the highest level of historical accuracy, I am using various sources such as ship modeling materials, online resources, and the book “The Ships of Christopher Columbus. Santa Maria, Niña, Pinta.“ Join me on this exciting journey of building a sailboat model that is as true to the original as possible. ————————— #diy #shipmodel #modelmaking #miniaturemodel #howto #fromscratch
