You've really nailed this. Looks so clean and precise.

I am satisfied with the effect.

 

And your satisfaction is justified! I really like how all of the colors you have chosen, along with the patina you have achieved for the metal pieces, work so well together. Your model has a lot of visual appeal!

Hi Marek

Regardless of the kit instructions, did Spanish ships have wooden hoops on top and bottom of the wooldings so they would not slip on the mast?   This was always done on British ships so I thought this might have been the case for other nations as they would have had the same problem without them.

Hello Allana,
You're probably right. Although in the case of the San Felipe project, everything is possible, including the fact that it is fiction.

The ropes on my model are not to scale with respect to the cables. I did it consciously, because I believe that they are a unique decoration of every sailing ship.
