Does anyone know if the larger Spanish man-o-wars' used mesh/ rigging on the sides of the decks, like the Victory, to store the crews hammocks during the day? also Did the Spanish ships have their name on the transom ( also like the "Victory") cheers

Hi all, A few quick enquiries: Did the larger Spanish ships have the netting/stowage nets along either side of the main deck like the English ships- like the Victory? and did they have their name on the transom ? I cant find any info on this and would like to install the netting if this is accurate ! cheers !

Hi Thanks for all the advice- I really appreciate it ! whats the AOTS though? I've never been good at acronyms !

The AL Endeavour does look OK I like the idea of the double planking............

Not a bad- I finished mine some time ago you may need to double plank it though- I single planked mine and it looked terrible !! -
Hi Having finished the AL San Juan Nepomuceno some years back, I'm looking to build a larger Endeavour- 1:50 ish scale I had some issues with the Nepomuceno kit....... I had to double plank the hull, as one layer didn't cut the mustard ! in doing so, I became better at planking than I thought- So I'm after some advice on which kit supplier does the best Endeavour... Something that is double planked, good fittings,brass/ photo etch etc, good rigging and construction instructions ( and a reasonable price !) Not interested in sails or bases- Occre looks good- the AL also looks good, good price- but has received some bad press, and from my experience I can see why ! Suggestions anyone? Cheers !
