Robp1025 Posted January 15, 2022 Share #1 Posted January 15, 2022 Hey everyone so I'm looking for some resources on the Montanes. It is going to be my next ship and I want to do more justice to it then I did to my beagle and do some real research on the plans and rigging and all. I will most likely be done my Beagle in the next week as I am pretty much there. I am thinking of also purchasing the plans but have no idea where I could purchase it so a link for that too would be awesome. mtaylor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtaylor Posted January 15, 2022 Share #2 Posted January 15, 2022 I hope others have an answer but I'm not sure there is a book on Montanes as such. We do have some logs for her. A bit of Googling sends one all over the place with most links being for the kit.

allanyed Posted January 16, 2022 Share #4 Posted January 16, 2022 Rob, Madrid Naval Museum (museonavalmadrid@fn.mde.es) has what I believe are contemporary drawings of Montanes as well as written descriptions of her interior and other ships of her class. One drawing is available at RMG as well. https://www.rmg.co.uk/collections/objects/rmgc-object-79963, Regarding a book, are you looking for information on how to construct the ship from scratch? Ocre has plans for Montanes but after seeing photos of their model on their website one may wonder if accuracy was a priority for them.

allanyed Posted January 16, 2022 Share #6 Posted January 16, 2022 Robert, If you want to build a 74 with a book or full set of drawings, you may want to consider a French or English ship. Anatomy of the Ship series has the Bellona (1760) but you will still need a good set of drawings of at least for the body plan and profile which you can get from RMG Hopefully some member will have info on a book or set of drawings for a Spanish 74, but I do not recall seeing anything like what you want. Good luck with your search, it will be great to see if you come up with something.
