    kirill4's post in Spanish Galleon Rope Sizes was marked as the answer   
    Good day Bill,
    As seems to me ,there is not so big problem with it, how to find necessary ropes  sizes for your galleon...I could recommend a few ways: 
    00. Book by RC Anderson where He gives all necessary  XVI - XVII centuries rigging info
    01. as far as I remember, on this forum, a few years ago I ve found very nice and handy excell tables made by one of ours colegues, tables which automaticaly calculated all necessary standing and rigging sizes of each rope You be need to rigg your galleon( and any other models as well) model... depends on period and rigging types and style
    02. famous Mondfeld's book with nice tables regarding rigging and mast and spars sizes
    03. Hoeckel 's book which looks like short version of RCAnderson book but containts all necessary data as well...
    By my small experience , these sources could/ will provide You all necessary info( in general at least) for rigging your galleon model in the best simplified but accurate way...

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.
