Good day, Dear friends, have some progress in my model building.
Some of this additions,if not all :) just my improvization and doesn't pretend for hystoric accuracy :))) : I didin't find necessary informations how those things should be arranged on spanish galleons of the end of 16th begining of 17th centuries but there are many high quality contemporary pictures of the galleons made by Dutch artists , where we could see a lot of interesting details... so, my model more and more drifting to the dutch style galleon :)))
What I made:
*preparations for arranging anchors gears
Shape and general idea of the bouy taken from here:
John Harland" Seamanship in the age of sail",
SOS 1637 by John McKay,

*changed positions of anchor cable holes
*added some gears for emerg.steering system
*added some decoration to the balcony
Wish all of You Good Helth!

Thank you Kirill, you are one of those modellers, who make small parts (like stropped blocks, anchors, buoys etc) look like as if they were completed models themselves. Great work!

GOOD DAY!:)
Dear Cirdan,
Thank You very much for kind comments and attention to this building report! :)
I don't know why... but I like to be busy with such small things...:)))
And see how other colleques do the same, or to watch old and new "hi end" models ... sometimes it becames like kind of meditation :)))

Good day everybody,

Continue with making anchor gears ... I started with port side , anchors secured to the hull constraction and chanel by the pieces of metal wire...
One of the Port side anchor will be shown in fishing position...
Wish everyone all the best!!!
Kirill

Hello everyone!
A small continuation, tied the guide blocks for the sheets of the spritsail,
finished with the anchors on the port side - for the sake of interest, fish davit showed an armed one, such as an anchor in the process of heaving up ... from the starboard side I will fix all the anchors on the marching ...

anchors on the marching - as a guide, I took information from the book J. Harland Seamanship in the age of sail and the famous paintings where the details of Cornelis Claesz van Wieringen (about 1575-1633), De Zeeslag bij Gibraltar_ 25 april 1607, Cornelis Claesz are visible. van Wieringen - at least it is clear that the cat block has been dismantled in this case ...

Hello everyone! finished fixing the anchors on the starboard side based on the pictures that above posted information from Harland's book

Thanks Robert! :)
Gents,
Cirdan ,Angarvater, eugen.t, bernd, Frank, Collingwood and schiffebastler and others friends, thank you very much for your attention and positive reactions ! :)))

I keep thinking the ‘just one more version’ in your topic-title does no justice to your model. It should be something like ‘the ultimate version’

Jan

Hello everyone!

Oh Yes!!! finaly completed installation of the starboard anchors ... the port side was completed earlier ...

so I can say the theme with the anchors is finally completed !... well, great !!! :)))

I crawl to the final stage with fitting sheets and braces ...

Thank You very much, Jan !
I 'm glad You like it ! :)))

Good day,

Dear all,

Continue with spritsail, fore and main sails sheets and braces rigging ... during seizing all critical points secured by CA gel ...

Hello everyone!

Finally I finished with the rigging of the fore and main sheets and the mainsail braces ...

and - EVERYTHING !!!

it remains to hang the flags, put the bersos in place and come up with something with a stand and the project can be said - completed! :)))
