newbuilder101 Posted October 29, 2015 Author Share #972 Posted October 29, 2015 Thanks Greg! I made a jig using a couple of pieces of wood to hold the wood still and to ensure that each piece was consistent in size, and then used a scalpel.

Wintergreen Posted March 17, 2016 Share #988 Posted March 17, 2016 So, I just randomly clicked the "San Felipe" link in your signature. I must say, every now and again I get dumbfounded of the skill some people show in their logs. It didn't look like much in the beginning with the big chunks of lumber resting on your big table saw. I read a few pages and then skipped to the end...and Wow! What a ship you have build! Hats off and bow deep! mtaylor, Omega1234, Piet and 5 others 8 Quote Happy modelling!

Bill Morrison Posted July 30, 2016 Share #989 Posted July 30, 2016 Sherry, I just tripped into this thread because I, too, am building this beautiful ship. I must say that your work is truly astounding! I must comment about the "history" of this ship as stated in the manufacturer's comments and on this site. While it is true that a ship maned San Felipe was in the Spanish Armada, it wasn't the ship both you and I are building. Our San Felipe may or may not have been built, but the design is clearly late-17th century, perhaps as late as the 1690 date stated, but this ship could not have existed during the times of the armada, which happened in 1588, or 102 years before the stated date of building. That said, it is clear that, at the very least, the ship we are modeling does have the general physical characteristics of Spanish 100 gun ships-of-the-line, in terms of hull shape, length, draft, and other proportions. Therefore, I believe that the ship possibly/probably existed. Again, I am amazed by your skills!
