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 !
