Good day Michael, Great!!! Like a real wood! I missed, what was your idea? Will it( model) be fully 100% rigged ? But not colored...? Or partial rigged only... like Vasa in museum? ....hm,but You already shown some sail...so ...fully rigged? Correct? All the best! -
Good day, I will give link to my spanish galleons "archive"( what did I find in internet) on a days...
-
Good day Michael, Same design( Spanish galleon 1607 was original created by Vincenzo Lusci in 197x...th ) was used for the plastic kit, which I assembled recently...in my build log You could find some info... All the best! Kirill

These pictures of Vasa museum model - as a reference , where colors of used ropes looks more natural... just my suggestion, that rigging need to be stained to the natural hemp color... if hull ,decks and other wood looks weathered, why not rigging lines...but even new ropes color should be more dark ,as seems to me... or what is your idea? All the best!
-
Just Great!!! :))) Michael, rigging line color is too bright, looks like sintetic rope... wont to stain them ?
-
Dear Bruma! Just Great! Always watching your updates with great interest !!! All The Best!!! Kirill

Michael, Modified main top looks nice! Accurate and proportional in details! All the best!
-
Good day, One more option... to ommit that( guns) blocks at all...??? Most of classical museum models don't have such details...but just guns...
-
Good day Michael, Looks great! About old fashion style of sails furling...I ment, part of the furled sail kept vertical, other - along the yard,as could be seen on the pictures...I didnt mean to show lowered top mast ... All the Best! Kirill
-
What do You think about to show sails furled in old fashion style which will be looks more historic accurately? a few of Kalmar Nykel replica 1625 - very nice rigging, many details suitable for Vasa rigging could be seen and examined!

Oh Yes, indeed !!! Absolutely , Great job!!! Why other half of the hull not glued , not colored out yet?
-
Good day Michael, Thanks , I see... I thought, when I saw your spritsail top sail yard at place with fitted parral, that You are going to attach sail and relevant riggings afterward ... :))) which will be very complicated... often ,by my experience, much easy to do rigging in reverse order... and sometimes even standing as well , in reverse... Your question about my next project... no , not yet...I went to the sea till april next year, and now far away from my models... just run thoughts in idle... want to assemble airfix Golden Hind galleon, that kit, in 1:74 scale if I'm not mistaken with scale... but I have an Idea to represent it as 1:100 scale galleon/ it will be much bigger ship... make some "modernization" - to add 4th mast, more sails, more guns... finally I want it to look more or less as that famous galleon Elizabeth Jonas model... :)))
-
Do You want to fitt sail and other rigging when spar already fitted at place? In such case the task will be triple complicated... hm, easiest way to assemble everything(yard,sail blocks all riggings lines) in advance , and than to fitt as assembled unit at place... pls don/t consider as advice ,just my thoughts about process...
-
Looks nice! Considering scale - just very nice!!! blocks size and shape looks very proportional as well ! All the Best! Kirill
-
Good day, 1.5 mm block could be printed by demand? they said it even would be less expensive than master-corabel 2.0 mm wooden block ... Some of our experienced colleagues , who has 3d printer and proper skills can easily do that and make offer of such production... may be there is not really problem as I though before :)))

Agree, Good findings! some kind of "stain" makes nice" harmonized " effect when applied ... first I saw it was mentioned in one of Ab Hoving's book, in part where he told about model paintings,he told about colored artistic varnish, applyed all over model as final touch... I used for this purpose very thin deluted in thiner coal-tar varnish... it makes also some brawnish patina effect, very good looks on gold painted areas... -
To imitaite gravity force when rope passes trough block ,and make it not looks loosened, a small drop of CA gel could be used... wet by CA gel a piece of thread which will pass trough the block hole , pull it trough the hole a little ,and than hold tightly by fingers for a few sec in desired directions...
-
Good day Michael, I see... than I could wish You be lucky with using original plastic spars... if You will manage to make standing righings " straight" without applying any or very light tensions on them, it would be very nice! There could be helpfull to paint ropes before use them on model, and keep them hanging under weight a few days...oil paint deluted with oil when polimerized will make thread as kind of soft wire, which could hold straight shape with min. load...
-
Good day! It is going to be very nice model! I liked your paintings and rigging very much!... if not too late, there is real sense to replace bowsprit and masts and may be top masts as well for the "wooden material"... leaving original plastic yards and masts there would be a big risk of their deterioration/bending during standing rigging phase... replacing for the wood or other strong materials gradually will improve situation... :))) especially bowsprit \ which will be loaded(even with smallest possible load of fore stays) with all fore stays , spritsail top sail backstay and without bobstays in that period- this is really most of weak points in this respect... when it curved up on the model with spritsail topsail declined aft, it will looks not nice... All the best ! Kirill

Good day, Dear Max , some time ago I saw this beautiful building https://shipsofscale.com/sosforums/threads/pinnace-papegojan-1627-1-48-completed-build.7055/ If You didn't know about it already ... there are a lot of interesting and useful details for the model of 17th vessel could be seen...
-
same pictures in higher resolution... on my galleon model I did it (rudder pendants) same as You did ... later on I found info that it was not correct and need to be redone... but I didn't yet do it.
-
Good day Max, Your job is great! All looks nice! However couple small local (which caught my eyes) remarks... regarding deck gratings planks orientation and two openings in the square transom, which You used for rudder pendant, as I knew , they used for ship boat tow ropes, but for rudder pendants used other locations...
-
Dear Michael! Will tell again - Just fantastic , how Your model looks like!!! I love your work very much! All the best! Kirill
