RE: Spanish galleon the Armada campaign in 1588 , just one more version - 23

Thanks Robert! :)

Today I hung the flag on the mizzen ...

now all the masts with flags! :)

Tomorrow I will be engaged with stern flag and later on banners - pennants ... :)

and 6 more flags on the deck)) need to be installed !

total there will be 10 pennants and 6 deck ...
ps
after flags pictures thermotransfering, each one need to be repainted by hand brush (acrylic) at least big colored area need to be threated - transfering film has some glossy effect and repainting solve this glossy on fabric

Good day Daniel!
Thanks a lot for this article !
I didn't see it before ...
just wanted to made my flags slack- without wind, same as my sails ! :)))
but actualy, they happened to be made as filled with small wind :)))... wich was not my pure intention , but I sutisfied with visual results :))) how they looks on the model ...
Let's there be scenario - anchors were heaved up and almost made fast and ready for sea and small wind started blowing and big voyage soon begins ...
I will leave them in this stage ...:)
As You could see - I used the same material as was used for the sails - thinest percal I could find ...
but together with double layer of transfering paper it becames too thick visualy ...now I think that "silk" material which You mentioned in one of your articles will be more suitable for making realistic flags due to thinest structure of the material more small folds could be created...

stern flag - my improvisation in design and location .

flag s coat of arm used in Philipp II reighn I found somewhere in the internet...

I saw on some of the galleon pictures , that stern flag staff locates not strait in the middle line and extreme aft, as it was in later times , but it is more close to the mizzen ...

pictures - just examples of flags and banners possible locations on galleon...

and my stern flag

Dear friends,
After so many years assembling this kit , today ,...
I decided to completely clarify for myself the question, what... do the heraldic elements... mean in the Spanish Coat of Arms during the reign of Philip II !!!
, as they say, better late than never! :)))))

Greetings Dear Community!
Returning to post number 334 - authentic pictures of galleons with flags on the deck ...

deck flags - for the images on the flags, I used some parts of the royal coat of arms of Philip II, the fastening of the flags was shown very conditionally ...

Dear friends and everybody ,

still interested in this Galleon construction site))

Have a small continuation - pennants ... I used the colors of Spain - Castile and Aragon - red and yellow as the main colors ...

and ideas from Landstrem and Mondfeld books , how to show them

Good day,
Dear friends,

Today I put the final touches and on this with the model - that's it !!! :

* added a crane beam on the tops of the fiting platforms - similar to the one depicted in the famous engraving of the karakka

* added darts - here, in their appearance, pure fantasy ... in fact, judging by the engravings - they were in great demand on galleons of the 16th century, and since I have a certain collective image of a galleon on the border of the 16th and 17th centuries,

I decided to add such for myself ...

as a source of information I also used the book "Sailing Ships of War", Dr. F. Howard

??? I will add hooks on the yards later ... maybe ... ...

Spaniard after all, it means boarding tactics of conducting a battle, in theory, they should be ...

and on engravings they are shown everywhere as a rule ... well, I don't know yet. ..

then it was left to come up with something with a stand, but this is next season, in the fall ...

the vacation ends soon, I will not have time to make a stand ...

Wish all of you all the best!

Kirill
