"I really very please how it has turned out."
So you damn well should be Hilly 😀 A superb model, the result of superb craftsmanship, and barrel loads of patience I guess 😉 Your model is as good as or better than many 'Shipyard' and Naval Museum models I have seen during my professional wanderings around the globe. Excellent mind boggling stuff. Well worthy of a decent glass vitrine to show her off as she deserves 👍 Can't wait to see your next creation. All the best, Stay Safe, Cheers, Doug 😎 👍 Like

What a fantastic job you've made of this model, unfortunately your build seemed to drop off my following radar (much to my annoyance).
However I've been back and read it from the beginning, and its very impressive what you've done, I'm sorry I didn't comment or like as it progressed 👍 Like

Lovely bit of rigging Hillro, you must have been a Boy Scout in your youth😁. Lots of patience required obviously. Great job on the sails as well. I just tried modifying a jib on my old Graupner Optimist, using an old (70s) but flash Bernina, which belonged to my mother, and has all the bells and whistles, but it looks like I was drunk when doing it (even after referring to the manual 20 times and having about 10 false starts)😂.

Brilliant bit of rigging, must have taken ages to rattle down both those masts. Excellent job with the sails too, I like the way you have done all the panels, that took a lot of stitching. Incidentally, is this a sailing model or a static ?

Hi Hilly,
"Working off the drawing is proving a challenge, having limited knowledge of ships rigging." You might find some tips and tricks here😉 Might take a while to browse through (get some beer and sandwiches in😁) cos there's 'undreds of 'em!

Must say, I like the windlass with the holes for the windlass spikes and the anchor ropes going below for stowage. Quite correct, anchor chain would not yet be in use for this period of ship. Like the cattheads for catting the anchors too.

What a lovely job you've made of the ship's boat. The whole Galiot looks beautiful. Excellent attention applied to all the woodwork on and even the deck itself. A model to be proud of.

💬 Re: Decking, and rigging

I do like this boat, The open rails around the deck, those fancy gudgeons and pintles on the rudder, the planked deck, how could anyone not like. The drawings of the sail plan look quite complicated but from a full size point of view, pretty accurate. How many of the sails will you be able to control with servos? I presume she is to be a working, sailing model. Will you rely on interior ballast or are you planning some sort of removable ballast keel.

Your planking looks superb and I do like the contrasting colour planks. You are getting an excellent finish too. I do like the wooden open rails around the decks. This is a model I am longing to see under sail in her natural element.

Think you've made a very good job of the planking, certainly wouldn't know that it was a first attempt. I'm sure she will look great when nicely varnished and in her natural element.

Martin has said it all, take your time and pay special attention to the joints. I think you will have most trouble on those fat rounded ends. I would use as thin a plank as I could manage, it will bend easier. In fact if you think it needs the thickness, why not two layers. I would soak at least overnight and start off with boiling water, repeating a few times if possible. On the sides it won't matter as much, you shouldn't have any trouble. Best of luck, I've been interested in this model since you started and look forward to following your progress.

Hi Hillro,
Sorry I have no experience with this sort of build. Maybe try running a build log on Ships of Scale as well as this site. SOS is more geared to this sort of build. Cheers, Stephen. 👍 Like

When doing the second layer of planking you should take your time and pay special attention to all the joints.
I have not made many plank on frame models but the glue i used was water proof wood glue. Also soaking the planks helps. You will have to pin them in place until almost dry before gluing. I am sure that other members have more experience on this subject and will be able to help you beat that I. Martin555. 👍 Like
