Ferrus Manus Posted February 22, 2023 Author #121 Posted February 22, 2023 Back to the flags. This is the screenie i took of the Google Doc with the flags, scaled as they are to be on the ship. The mizzen flag was inspired by this modern drawing of the Golden Hinde vs. the Spanish galleon Concepcion: The Golden Hinde is on the right, but you could probably already tell which ship was which by looking at who has a gigantic picture of Mary on her stern, and who doesn't. Anyway, the Golden Hinde has the flag on a stern flagpole, instead of on the mizzen truck. This flag is a decorative naval ensign composed of a bunch of stripes with a St George's Cross in the corner. I elected to do the same thing, but put the flag on the actual mizzen mast. Baker 1 Quote
Ferrus Manus Posted February 22, 2023 Author #122 Posted February 22, 2023 I'm listening to Red Water, which, considering my history with mental issues, is a song i probably shouldn't be listening to, but who cares. I measured the flags, and they will easily fit on the trucks. I am not doing the tissue paper method because i don't really want to use my dad's dinosaur laptop (which he refuses to replace even though it barely works) any more than i have to, because that's the only computer in the house that connects to the wireless printer. So, i just went full send and printed the flags on regular paper. The tissue paper method, while i want to try it, can wait til next time. The one thing is, i will simply wrap the flags around the trucks instead of tying them with thread as i don't want to break the fragile pieces. One of the things Baker did right was to make the trucks bigger around, to prevent breakage. My hope is that the royal standard will cover up (and protect) a chronic breakage on the main truck.

Ferrus Manus Posted February 22, 2023 Author #123 Posted February 22, 2023 As per many contemporary (or near-contemporary) depictions, (like this one, as well as those above) streamers or pennants were flown not only from the trucks of a ship, but also from the fore and main tops. Thus, i have a question that i need answered before the ship is done: Should i add pennants hanging off the fore and main tops? Quote

Ferrus Manus Posted February 22, 2023 Author #125 Posted February 22, 2023 As per Baker's advice, i will be leaving the fighting top pennants off the ship. Case closed. As always, Baker saves the day! Quote
Ferrus Manus Posted February 23, 2023 Author #126 Posted February 23, 2023 Well, i got the flags put on the trucks. Now the build is officially complete! Here are the final photos.

I could not have completed this build to the standards i did without you. The advice and support given by all who stuck with me was immensely valuable, and i could not have done it without you. I found a nice deal on eBay for the Spanish Galleon, and it's coming from the states! That means less in shipping. Assuming the guy responds to my offer, it could even be on my doorstep by the end of the month. I should probably make the build log before i start, this time. Baker 1 Quote

Ferrus Manus Posted February 24, 2023 Author #133 Posted February 24, 2023 (edited) Guy accepted an offer for 95 bucks. Not quite a lowball for what i think i am getting, but for how much this kit sells, it sure is. As always, i will have to make considerable modifications to accommodate the rigging. It will be nice to deal with a kit without flash, though. Unlike Kirill, i will be making a "1607" galleon instead of an Armada era ship. Edited February 24, 2023 by Ferrus Manus Quote
