Where is the anchor chain rigged once it goes through the hawse-hole in the San Martin (spanish galleon 1588)

My idea

The cable goes through hawse hole n° 33, is attached to n° 40 and is stored in the cable tier n° 25 (And certainly not use a chain)

Photo and info from the book "Galleon The great ships of the armada era" by Peter Kirsch.

And on my 16th century English Galleon Golden Hind. The 2 cables of the anchors  will "disappear" in the 2 holes in the hatch.

I guess that it is something you don't have to do every year 😁.

Actually, it was 20 years ago and painting became urgent 

Made some progress and started with the deck. The finish between the deck and the frames is just the same as the deck below.

First a plank is made that is glued to the frames. Supports are glued to the rear of this plank.

The plank  is glued and then the first 2 deck planks.

The holes between the frames are closed with small planks. These are first all made separately (and numbered) and then painted before assembly.

And the alignment of the "nails" in the deck planks is indeed not in line with the alignment of the deck beams.
But once the deck is completely planked, this error is no longer visible.

Great work on the dry dock (and the cross section of course).

The navy sail training ship, was this the Zenobe gramme??

finally impaled and then drilled holes on the last pins ..

Congratulations, It is always a relief when all those holes are drilled and filled 

Beautiful work Ondras

Looks like a home made build of The Golden Hind to me.

Hello,

The 2nd cannon is ready. All plastic parts come from my military partsbox, plastic sprue and strips.

cannon installed, together with deck beams and knees.

A ladder is also built. There is not much room left   therefore she is placed between the 2 doors.

And: My painting job on the house is ready. 
I don't like to work on a ladder, i start sweating and get the shaking in my legs. ( Dutch : Ik begin dan te zweten en krijg dan de bibber in de benen ).

Nice workplace. 

You still have many models to build.

Very beautiful models 

Greetings,

Good luck, and welcome to MSW.

Good idea to start with a small model.

Greetings, and welcome to MSW

Very nice work Fabio.
In the 15th and early 16th centuries, there were indeed few ships that had a figurehead.
And if they had one, then this was minimal and small.

Thanks for the nice comments.

I actually wanted to make wooden spoked wheels. In plastic this was possible, but in wood this was beyond my skills.

Meanwhile : Backer is busy painting on the house

A nice view from a height of about 8 meters

Welcome, and Greetings from Belgium

Hello,

And 

Thanks Marcus

After a few weeks of silence, a very short update (it is currently a little to hot to do anything)
I finally succeeded in making one cannon (after a few failures)  I'm going to make another identical cannon  to place in the forecastle. A construction method of this second cannon will follow later.
