    A model of a Spanish (originally Portuguese) galleon in a navy board style.The materials are boxwood, pear, linden and ebony.Probably some photo-etched parts.There are few source materials, plans are imagination rather than reality.Probably the only contemporary painting and the galleon is the fresco in the Hall of Battles in El Escorial located in San Lorenzo de El Escorial. Besides, one more drawing. I made the frames of pear wood - 1.6 mm. Every second one frame will be cut after sanding the hull. Everything stuck together temporarily by seccotine glue. After sanding, I carefully disassembled the sections of double frames. Then I cut out the unnecessary material and gently sanded the center of the frames.

    Some progress has been made, but I am currently engaged on a different project. La Real is the first model which I build from wood and I can see how many mistakes I have made so far. Before I start rigging and making oars, I'm going to take a break.

    Rows of benches and bow battle platform added. I designed some photo-etched elements, based on photos a Spanish replica from Barcelona. I cover the photo-etched parts with gold. Work in progress:

    Yes of course 😃 In fact, model building is more advanced. As soon as I have a free moment, I will complete the build log.

    The next step was to finish the planking and painting. The hull was painted with acrylic paint from Talens spray series. The photos of the replica from the Maritime Museum of Barcelona are reference material. My lack of experience and skills was the cause of many problems when making several dozen elements. When I build a model on this scale for the first time, the effect is acceptable to me.

    I started my adventure with wooden modeling from the Spanish galley "La Real". I have some experience only in modeling plastic ships. I decided to try it on a scale of 1: 150. Model built according to Dusek's plans. Making details in a scale of 1: 150 is not easy, especially without experience. With the help of experienced colleagues from the Polish forum "Koga", the work is still progressing. The hull is made of balsa wood. Planking and deck made of pear strips 0,5 mm.

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.
