  1. Greetings a respected community! Recently I've made some small changes in my project , in the continuation of the story, so to speak - * slightly increased forecastle height *raised the beackhead deck - in principle, by this , I've just returned to the original composition of the kit ... * and refused to reproduce the step in the forward part of the main gun deck ... something, well, it "did not go to me" despite my lovely model of Elizabeth Jonas galleon , either on the famous Baker's galleon drawing , and then, judging by the drawings and paintings of that period, the step in the nose is not an indispensable attribute at all, as an example - two pictures, with a step (Galeon Baker) and without ... But in the stern - as a rule, this deck break was present at many pictures of the galleons and this break of the deck , even well traced up to the middle of the 17th century .... therefore I left the original option ... *In the on -board decor I added Tudor's colors - white and green ... So far... Wish all of you all the best!
  2. Good day ! Dear community, Please to value / comment a few versions of heraldic shield decoration....I prefer variant N4
  3. Thanks Bill - it is very good and interesting plan ! English\ those of English race built galleons and Spanish galleons , they were look different in that time for sure ! It is sad that in existing galleon's plastic kits we don't see that difference ... I meant there are a few very good plastic kits of english galleons but non of spanish , kit of really spanish style galleon... meanwhile ... continue with my english\or dutch? :))) galleon stern coloring.. too many ideas and slowly progress
  4. Good day, Dear all, I would like to say that this damn paintings project -a lot of time consuming business- moves very slowly ... probably gallery of arсs with Elizabethian's commanders portraits need to be reworked, to make them more light in appearence... now they looks to heavy compare to balcony arсs https://cloud.mail.ru/public/1dUS/oVwrwNcmb Wish all of you all the best!
  5. GOOD DAY Siggi! Thanks a lot! This is real good way! It is almost real splicing!!! Looks very natural!!! All teh Best !!! Kirill
  6. Greetings all looking at the light ... ... somehow everything is slowly going on, but still a little thing is moving ... The greenish color on the stern shield was replaced by the royal blue as colleagues advised, railings and wales in the work still, as well as the decor of the sturncastle will still turn yellow (gilded) In the process ... feed so far so much ... on the model decor is assumed to be with gilding ... Eh, I love this business ))! In reality, of course it was different, mostly imitation of gold by suitable colors ... the general concept of coloring and appearance - by the "motives" of this English. Galeon All the best !!!
  7. Good day Tim, I understood now your choice of the sails bright color :))) You could try some acrylic paints to hide that burnt area, but again, first try on some piece of fabric,how it works, not straight on the model... Just for information, as far as I know, for securing boat on deck, lashing must be setted in different way, it should run from board to board over the boat, but it never fitt to cross the boat in diagonal patern, like You shown... All the best ! Kirill
  8. :))) Bill ... my mind occupated with same thigs... :))) what to do with it... I feel a little bit easy when finished painting of its stern... at least how it could be in my imagination, but what are your ideas ? about this kit ? All The Best!!! Kirill
  9. Hello Tim, I would like to recommend to stain them all... now the color of your sails is tooo,tooo bright for the galleon model... from my point of vew it should be 3-5 times darker in color... You could use stains which used for wood works ... it could be some kind of yellowish green brownish ochre colors... even deluted artists oil paints could be used for sails coloring, just find the mix of colors You would like ?conventional artist thiner could be used as welll... But! first try on some piece of cloth , how it will work and how You like desired effect or not. Also diluted bitumen laquer , deluted in "white spirit" thiner works very well both on wood and fabric as well!... this burnt area, try to wash it just by under water fall and by tooth brush ... ivory color for the galleon sails ///hm/// I very doubt it would be suitable color for this period... but it is just my private opinion of couse... Entire body of your model could stained in a few degree darker than it is presently, it need to be in some kind gomogenised with the sails color ... there are a few fragments from Ab Hoving books about model paintings and picture of galleon from my collection... to clarify what Im talking about of galleon colors ... All the Best! Kirill
