    I tried to make as much details I could. Those smaller rings were to much to ask. Maybe on some other model. the ones I made are 0.5-0,6 mm diameter made of 0.1 mm wire.

    Hi Allan, I am not sure if Spanish used belaying pins in the 15.ct. In the book there are no pins drawn in Santa Maria plans only in Pinta plans. Also I saw on the SM replica in Palos de frontera there are belaying pins so I put them. I also tried to find out about this question long while ago, I think I found somewhere that the use of pins started in Mediterranean first. Need to check again. I have books about Spanish galleons in the 17.century if you need some help with your study I can check them.

    Anchor size given in the book is to large so I shorten it so it can fit the distance between the bit and end of forecastle properly.

    Hi Ferrus, I didn't now about Colombus day:) I am using anatomy of the ship book by Xavier Pastor and there are indeed references to Mataro model.

    Forecastle I did I think two or three times. Since there was no pictures in the plans of how this was made I did it by the eye. f This middle horizontal beam is placed to get the convex shape of the clinker planking.

    Hi Roger, I was really thinking a lot about how to capture this essence as you said. Looking at many contemporary pictures to try decide which colour to go for. The wood I use is pear stained with two colours dark walnut and redish walnut. First I would put redish one and then quickly applied dark one so wood can soak bit of both. That is why colour is not uniform you will see more on later pictures. Hull construction method I took from russian master Michael Bezverhny.

    Two halves were nothing comparing to rounded stern it could have been better, but next time it will be. Thank you all for kind words here is continuation of the work.

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.
