# 10. Temporary Stand and Lights. Columbus Santa Maria. Scale 1/65

🌐English subtitles. ⛵Today I will be constructing a temporary platform (or a stand), wiring, and lighting system for the Santa Maria ship model. The objective is to create a stable and sturdy base for my future work, and this platform will ultimately serve as part of my electrical setup. Therefore, before commencing with the wiring and lighting, I have decided to construct a provisional stand to ensure the best possible outcome. So, please sit back, relax, and enjoy the video as I guide you through the steps and techniques I used to complete this project. #howto #shipmodel #diy #lights #boat #santamaria #modelship #boatmodel ------------------------------------- 📺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, 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. 🎬Timecode: 00:00 - Intro 00:16 - Making a base for the stand 01:13 - Designing legs for the stand 04:33 - Assembling the stand 06:01 - The scheme of electric wiring for lights 06:58 - Preparing diodes 08:20 - Soldering wires and lights 11:10 - First lights test (assembled) 11:23 - Installing wires and lights to the stand and the ship model 13:11 - The stage result demonstration.
