    B.E. Michael, Thank you very much for attention to my building Small progress : "designed" the hinges of the cannon port covers on a new basis, made an imitation with the help of an acrylic contour "dark silver" ... removed the imitation of ropes for opening the lids ... will be without ropes

    Michael, Rigging looks too much bright compared to entire model colors/ appearance...at least on the foto looks like that...is there plan to stain them a little bit to natural hemp colors ?

    Good day, Dear Michael , Thank You very mach! I see...clear which colors were used, but How Do You make and reach this grain effect? Which technics or tools were used to create grains on the primered surface? It looks damn realistic!!! :))) when I see it on the foto ,it looks absolutely like warnished wood!!! For my wood painting I used artistic acrylic paints - mix of some suitable colors: 1.base - grey or black primer from spray can 2.than PLAID barn wood No 936 sometimes could be used 3.than use sand color or caramel color PLAID No 452 4.that for making grain effect I use some mixed "earth" and "brown" colors or use strait PLAID "stain" No 817 - which is very nice for woodening some small parts like blocks and others details... When I painted masts and spars I used metal brush to apply and distributing (when it was still wet)final mix of acrylic paints for making grain effect post No14 in my build

    Мichael, Looks very nice!!! It is difficult to detect , your masts and spars and other natural color " wooden" elements , made from wood? Or it is nicely painted plastic? Looks like I missed you explanation...If You gave such in the past? Great work !!!

    Hello everyone!!! Comrades ... it's a shame to make this building with such delay... I'm making modest attempts to complete this long-term construction ... I'm trying to finish the anchor buoy + anchor gear arrangements based on information from John Harland "Seamanship in the age of sail"

    Dear Michael, Very nice indeed!!! Marc, which thread You ment, about sails making?
  14. kirill4
    Looks Fantastic!!! Very realistic!!! Beatiful job!!! Please give detail description how You made them, with foto if available... how did You reach such realistic positions of the sails, *their wind filled itself and *positions on stays , at the certain angles to the central line...there are no visiable wires or some kind of additional supporters? Just Enigma for me!!!:)))

    Good day, Yes, this book... there are very detailed drawing of small english galleon with rigging plan and belaying points diagram... It is very good as source of information for your model...actually Hoeckel gives the same ,identical galleon reconstruction in his book...I don't know who is author of this drawing , but in rigging details , it is quite correct and very popular in ship model building comunity...:)))
  23. kirill4
    Last two pictures in your post #122 ...looks strange.... One is Someone amateur interpritation , and another one- bad quality copy of Mondfeld reconstruction...why not to use original sources?
  24. kirill4
    Good day Tomasz, From my side have nothing to add more to my previous posts... by my only private opinion ,all that You need for galleon ( your model) rigging condenced in a few books and reconstruction ( which I consider as best of the best): *Anderson book( detailed description of almost each rigging lines) *Mondfeld/ Hoeckel *R.Aker G H version (+ E.Troppmann reconstruction drawings)- this I like very much!:) *Or reconstruction of Mayflower II by W.A. Baker " The Mayflower and other colonial vessels"...Another exeleht example! With lot of infotmation... Each One of this book /+ drawings will complitely cover any galleon rigging questions... :))) There is no need else to arrange any more global investigations on subject :)))

    Maybe There is sence to add some belaying points for spritsail running rigging near the bowsprit area, where it penetrates trough bulkhead? Or before gammoning?
