Rigging the cannnons, the helm and the anchor cables on the deck . Cannon rigging in a 1/110 scale... Stressful to me (in my opinion) it took me more then 1 hour for each cannon. The helm anchor cabels. To get these flat on the deck they are glued on deck with ca glue. Carefully applied to a toothpick. Thanks for following

Great work markus. Very interesting build. A question to Ab This plan is included in the book "Risse von schiffen des 16. und 17 jahrhunderts" If I look at the plans of Golden Hind that are also included, they don't look really reliable. Am I right?

Formula for Spars for Warships of Spain
Baker replied to Jeffrey Modell's topic in Masting, rigging and sails
There is not much (reliable) information about galleons in the 16th century. Simply because little was documented at that time. Maybe this book helps -

Painting and weathering of the hull. Painting the ded eyes and chains matt black washings with diluted light gray, some rust on the chains and a dry brushing of dark gray on the ded eyes. Given that the entire hull and deck are "weathered", the copper sheeting cannot be look new either. So, how does weathered red copper look like? No idea at first, then I remembered some rounds of ammunition that I once found near the house where I grew up. To make a small river deeper, mud had been dug out, and there lay a clip with 5 rounds Presumably remains of WW 1 or 2. Felix has no idea what's going on At first sight, It looks pretty much the same For now I leave the collor this way used paints : White wash And 3 green collors Cannons are glued on the deck A plastic plate is glued to the bottom. This is so the cannon is glued with the plate and not with the wheels on the deck. That way you won't see any glue residue on the deck. Hull painted Thanks for following

Very nice little cannons Steven. Acetone should work best.

Goldfinch by amateur - FINISHED - Scherft - 1:1 - CARD
Baker replied to amateur's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
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 -
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

About the NRG
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. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
