Grating of 16th century English galleon - different method used?
Hi All,
I am currently scratch building Golden Hind and I am about to start on grating. So far I could not find any historical data on grating of 16th century English Galleon anywhere. All the build logs that I am referencing also applied more or less generic/usual grating methods. I am wondering if anyone has encountered any historical evidence of 16th century English galleon grating, be it the method usually applied or something else entirely. Thanks all in advance for your help on
Rock,
The big IF, is do you want your gratings to look like real gratings? If you do, you will have to make your own or can get them from Syren but I don't know if the scales offered match your kit. Most kits either laser cut the openings or use interlocking strips rather than using ledges and battens and most of these are totally out of scale.
I suspect the construction would have been similar even in the 16th century. If that is the case the below may be of some help to you. Ke
