    Hi Sticker, Unfortunately not. For some time now I had not made any progress with my main project neither. I am surprised that nobody started this build, since it one of the most interesting projects around. Cherrs

    I have found a video of a Santa Maria where we can see at 1:38 the way the rope was sew. Is this the correct way?

    Can someone explain to me how the boltropes are glued to to sails? What glue is used, carpenter glue or super glue? Thank you in advance.

    Some new pictures about my work on the Santa Maria. Things are going well and I learn something new every time I spend time with it.
  23. Oliver24
    Good to hear that Jeff! Maybe their newer kits are more consistent.

    I will join also, it seems a beautiful ship.
  25. Oliver24
    Great info Guys! Thank you so much! So it seems that the Santisima Trinidad had indeed two different paintings : yellow and red. I will look closely the British National Museum`s website for captured Spanish ships. Also, the paintings of Carlos Parilla Penagos are beautiful...
  26. Oliver24
    Good to know you are back in the game Rossi46! I am really looking forward to this
  27. Oliver24
    Thank you Old Collingwood! My work approaches to finish...

    Another picture of my progress. Although plenty of mistakes were made, I am truly happy with the results till now:

    Thank you montanes and bruce! I am glad that the original plans of those great ships survived
  30. Oliver24
    Congratulations for your work! I am a big admirer of big Spanish ships and I would like to ask you if there are any surviving plans for the Montagnes/San Ildefonso/San Huan Nepomuceno or Santissima Trinidad from the period where they were built.
  31. Oliver24
    Wow! Thank you so much Bruce! There seem to be some plans of the Santissima Trinidad also, however they seem new to me, not the originals
  32. Oliver24
    I wonder if there are any accurate plans big Spanish ships from the XVIII-XIX centuries. My understanding is that the plans of the flagship Santissima Trinidad are lost and only paintings or drawings have survived. I still don`t know if the hull was red, yellow or brown as there are several versions... But what about the San Juan Nepomuceno, the San Ildefonso or the Montagnes? Do we have some accurate information about the plans and description of these ships?

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
