A Yankee In Seville

Recommended Posts

Finally decided to say hello after lurking for a while. I’ve been a modeler since the early 1960s, mostly 1:48 WWI aeroplanes in plastic & resin, but have always wanted to try my hand at a wooden ship. I actually started a scratchbuilt 1:96 Dos Amigos/Fair Rosamund about twenty years ago from the Chapelle drawings, but made the mistake of carving the hull out of Honduran mahogany… and it was so beautiful when I got it done that couldn’t bear to paint or copper her, and the project languished. Live and learn.

 

Question: I’m actually in the process of walking the Camino de la Plata from Seville north to Santiago de Compostela, and was able to get some relatively decent photos of the beautiful model (quarter scale?) of the treasure galleon la Nuestra Señora de Atocha from 1620 in the naval museum on the banks of the Guadalquivir River. Would there be any interest in my posting them? And if so, what sub-forum would be the appropriate one?

Hello Dave and welcome to MSW from the UK.

Looking forward to seeing these pictures, perhaps the mods will talk you through the process?

Regards,

Bruce

Welcome to MSW Dave.  Yes please do post the photos!   The Nautical/Naval History forum here might be appropriate, but no doubt one of the moderators here will give you a better answer.

Welcome to MSW, Dave.   Yes, we'd love to see your photos.    The Nautical History subforum would be good.  It's here: https://modelshipworld.com/forum/5-nauticalnaval-history/

 

There's also our Galleries.  The one for this model is: https://modelshipworld.com/gallery/category/4-gallery-of-contemporary-models-from-museums-and-private-collections/
