Beautiful work does not begin to do justice to this model.   I hope you give her a place of honor to display her.

I have just condensed your 6 years of effort into a few hours of reading and learning. Fascinating and quite spellbinding seeing the build evolve. Very enjoyable.

Thank you

Paul

Thank you for the nice comment.

You seriously need to use belaying pins, dude. Belaying pins were found on the Mary Rose, which sank in 1545. This dispels the idea that they were invented in the early 1600's.

Read some books first, and then judge

[Ferrus Manus]

Where can i get the books?

I am seriously considering getting Your Noblest Shippe.

This is the beakhead of the Vasa. Pins.

This is the only place they are found. No pins on any other rails. How were things belayed without pins?

[Ferrus Manus]

I am currently looking into a book about the rigging of galleons.

Modelling is an excuse to buy books.

They were used cleats and bollards.

Vasa is 50 years younger than this model. The difference in ships between about 1570 and 1620 is immense.
Vasa has sometimes been used as an example for this model, but not for belaying pins.

Vasa indeed had belaying pins in the beakhead.

 

But, an old saying :    "Eén zwaluw maakt de lente niet "
Just seeing one swallow doesn't mean spring is coming...
