Has anyone read this? Since I am building the San Francisco cross section I thought it might be worth a look.

Yes,

The layout is in the well-known New Vanguard style. First edition was in 2004

The subject is :

The history, origin and purpose of the Spanish galions

Operation of the convoy system between the de Americas and Spain

Construction rules and armament
The attack and defense strategy
Life and routine on board.

Easy to read text (even for someone like me who never learned English at school)

With beautiful photos and color prints

Bought for 8.48 pounds. I am happy with my purchase

Great work.

At the end of the 16th century, cast cannons were already used. I've found a current build of a same age replica of Barents' ship from 1595, which already had cast cannons with a carriage with only front wheels. The build is based on archaeological findings of wrecks.. 

Ondras,

interesting info is on these 2 pdf files.

And there is a detailed drawing of a carriage with 3 wheels.

"Risse von Schiffen des 16./17. Jahrhunderts"  is a very interesting book. But do not ask for detailed plans about ships from the 16th century.
They simply do not exist.

Dont do    you are building a beautiful model

So Patrick that takes care of September 1 2019 -- F1 Belgium Grand Prix 

No problem. I have this 🤣 

Greetings from your northern neighbor 

And welcome to MSW

Thank you everyone for the nice comments.

(Carl, I'm not a fan of football. I also like peace and quiet).

I have added some bolts in the upper wales. 

Bolts that remain visible on the inside are also fitted. So that it looks that these bolts run through the frame and the wale.

And i have become the proud owner of some interesting books. First I will read and study before I continue to build

Beautifully painted.
I use CA glue for PE parts.  This is indeed difficult, to glue everything neatly in the right place.

Patrick,

 

The wire on the sides of the cabin ceiling, is that for lighting?

Indeed

I'm not really that good with electricity so I bought a ready-made set. The disadvantage is that all lights are at the same distance from each other.
That is why it is sometimes a puzzle to get the lights in the right place.

Hi Patrick

Cheers

Pieter

Welcome on board Pieter

Thanks.

I live not far from the border with the Netherlands and know many nice Dutch people.

Hup Holland,hup 

Well done Peter

The finish is in sight   🏁

Thank you all for the nice comments and following

I started with the rear castle. The front part will remain open and the rear part is the cabin for officers, here is also the whippstaff.

Wear due to frequent passage. Some of the crew are too lazy to raise their feet when they go through the door
