    Very nice little cannons Steven. Acetone should work best.

    A model kit of a bird, never seen this before. Nice work I'm bored. You can always send the bird to me. Greetings, Felix

    Nice deck planking. You have one more follower. You can always add extra "nails" If you do this with a pencil then this is not much extra work Greetings, Patrick

    I just viewed your build a second time. Very educational. This is a model that really looks like an early galleon. Since the start of my Golden Hind, i have read a lot and did a lot of research for ships from this period. Have you ever encountered this on the internet? Not a real Spanish Galleon, but a Spanish whaler. Very interesting http://www.patrimoniocultural.gov.pt/media/uploads/trabalhosdearqueologia/18/22.pdf http://www.albaola.com/en/site/building-process https://www.flickr.com/photos/albaola/albums/72157648353383884

    The dead eyes. I had 3 options : The one from the kit (bad idea). Buy new ones (cheating). Or, make them myself. A first prototype is made. (On this photo (left of the dedeye) is an error. One support of the railing is too short, this has now been restored) Making discs and glue them together (3 discs for each dedey). Drilling holes 0.7 mm and attach iron wire to them. And place them on the channels. Made some stretched sprue for the extra details. All dedeyes on the channels are ready Now the hull can be painted. Work in progress. Thanks for following

    Thanks for the likes and nice comments. painting. The last time I painted a plastic ship model was in the early eighties. I only have experience with military models on a 1/72 scale My painting technique will therefore probably be different from other plastic ship models on this forum. First a base layer of diluted light gray over the entire model. Here we go (deck first). The deck gets a few layers of diluted sand yellow (yes sand yellow) Then a dry brushing of light gray and white. And a few wash layers of diluted light gray A layer of reddish-brown for the parts on and around the deck. And a helm for the rudder. Black color on the kitchen vent and part of the windlass. And a drybrush with sand yellow. Not ready yet. To be continued.

    Great work Are you sure of these 2 ropes. I think this method was only used a few centuries later.

    Do not think that modelkits from 16th and 17th century ship models are always correct. "skyward curving decks" The decks are indeed a little curved but not skyward curved some info about armament https://www.academia.edu/20120786/The_Arming_of_Late_16th_century_Merchantmen._A_Masters_Thesis_from_the_Maritime_Archaeology_Programme_University_of_Southern_Denmark Shipbuilding https://nautarch.tamu.edu/pdf-files/Myers-MA 1987.pdf More info: see my Golden Hind build.

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.
