Congrats 

Ha😂🤣😆 thx ☺

Now i am not sure is in right topic 😆

Meanwhile in dockyard...

My daughter wants one too. 

Had no choice 😂😆🤣😅

Definitely i will follow your build to see how it looks when finished.

It turns out with futtock shrouds better than i expected. 

I am happy I've done it. 

Hi. Going so🐌 but forward.

Dear Tomasz,

I don't have model building experience at all , exept maybe assembling a few plastic models ... but this is a big difference compare to wooden models buildings ... but during assembling my model I knew somthing/a little bit ,about galleons, which I could share with You ,if I see something  which  need to be commented by my opinion :))) but of couse it is only my comments

Actually , as I found later on , there is some/a lot of information about galleons in free access in the net 

Good morning. I have found something like this. Is very interesting 

Thank you for understanding, i just know  myself and this could happen. I wish to build my model as accurate historically possible but i think this is not that stage yet i can achieve unfortunately. From my point of view i have big lack of studying any models before i start and plan everything before

I really appreciate 🙏your advise and comments they are priceless.

Oh no! :)))

this is not a call for total rebuild ...

just formaly ,I feel this question must be done due to nature of the model which is galleon :)))

Yes you are completely right,  but i know all my mistakes and almost all parts of it that they are not right , so if i want them to be fixed then i will have to take almost  all of it including masts and boards yet even decking.

So i get to the point when asking myself can i really do this without giving up to soon on this ship ? 

So i am not sure i should go for that.

 If i fix one then i will go for another and another and so on ,till bulkheads 😅🤣 and never finish it😥

Above i used wrong word provoking instead of provocative, my bad apologise for that sir kirill4. Already edited for righ one.

^g:)))

why deadeyes round shape but not triangle than? 

provocation question! :)))

 

This is really provocative question 😅 

Well very first ship have to have some mistakes visible to get it better next time 🤣. To be honest i don't want to strip down everything now , i put a lot of effort on it but i will think about it again if i don't like it i may start all over again .

They seem to be quite correct.
Only the one on the right is upside down

Thanks 😊they are not glued yet to be adjusted later on.

Maybe i am trying to be too perfect very first time.also i did used rig for them.when i tried to shape them from ring like above i broke 2 deadeyes they are very fragile so decided to wrap around them carefully on rig and solder them-this works for me just fine no more broken ones.

Fore mast futtock shrouds dry fitted just to see how it looks , and something is wrong with it ? or is it just me?Deadeyes too close maybe ?they just don't look right 😕

First 6 fittings done, but my paint won't stick to it properly-from 1 issue to another 😄 i try anyway i don't give up that easy 

Here is final deadeye fitting.

Thank you . So won't be an issue if i move backwards this deadeyes cuz nest frame is on the way.

Beautiful work sir.

Had to make this little saw to open holes in nest to be able push through fittings.

Or like this  ? But is very small ,and is not easy to solder  this smallest 3mm hook ...don't even know is correct fittings for futtock shrouds like that. 

Or something like this 

Or should i go ahead and make new fittings and replace all kit ones with something like this.
