Do you know how I improve my ships now!? Setting up the backlight! It turns out, it seems to me, well! San Felipe is my second ship where I have implemented backlighting. Before that, my first experience was Santisima Trinidad, where I installed 10 LEDs. It turned out just like the first photo. San Felipe will eventually have 19 LEDs installed. Took into account the errors of different models. What was and how it turns out now is shown in the next and next photo.

P.S. Sorry for blogging with your photos...

Lower Stays and Shrouds:

 

Finished the lower and futtock shrouds plus a few miscellaneous pieces of rigging to break things up some. Will do the upper shrouds next and will continue only serving the forward most shroud to protect it from sails rubbing. Will probably do the ratlines once all the shrouds are in place. Still trying not to tie off lines as long as possible to make any adjustments easier but I think I'll need to tie off the bowsprit rigging pretty soon just to tidy things up for rigging the foremast.

 

Started reading "Rigging of Ships in the Days of the Spritsail Topmast" by R C Anderson and I probably should have started this book with the kit just to give myself time to digest all the information in it but I'll try to focus on the areas in the book that correspond to what I'm working on and try to rig as authentically as possible. There's still a lot of guesswork involved but can always fall back on the plans (for better or worse) if needed.

Очень здорово у вас все получается! По вашим фотографиям я больше ориентируюсь при строительстве своей модели корабля, чем по оригинальной инструкции. Жду следующих фотографий!! Привет из России)

Приветсвую вас из холодной России! Тоже начал собирать модель San Felipe  от фирмы Mantua! Очень огорчен ужасной инструкцией и не соответсвием чертежей цветным иллюстрациям... хуже инструкции еще не видел( Хотя до этого собрал Santisima Trinidad от Occre и Harvey. Вопрос к вам, может есть у вас дополнительные фото постройки этой модели или только те, что выложены на данном сайте?

Greetings from cold Russia! I also started to assemble the San Felipe model from Mantua! I am very upset by the terrible instructions and the discrepancy between the drawings and the color illustrations... I haven't seen worse instructions yet( Although before that I collected Santisima Trinidad from Occre and Harvey. Question to you, do you have additional photos of the construction of this model or only those that are posted on this site?
