That is very nice, and the rigging looks good.

 Modeling is an excuse to buy books.

Thanks Bill, I'm going to work on that putting sails on the yard that you sent me.I have tried to install those parrels for the masts but there is no room on these plastic ships,I wonder if it's different for the wooden ones? The plastic ones even on the Soleil Royal have no room for them. I have the Victory and the Constitution to do so I will see if they work there.Thanks,Mark

Hi.

the ship looks nice.

But also, this ship, despite its labeling as "Spanish Galeon", looks more like the smaller English counterparts that had only three masts (the Spanish galeons were in general larger, and much taller, had four masts - two with the lateen sail). This ship here reminds me distantly for the Golden Hind or the Revenge (of Sir Francis Drake).

What I recognize is, that it seems the design of one and the same model ship circulates among many model kit companies, but they bring out the same kit under different names to avoid doing all the same.

Mark, your ship is beautiful & I love the sails. How in the world did I miss it. This is the first I have seen it. You really made a winner with that model. I did have a lot of problems last September so that is probably why.

I am starting to work on building the Revell 1/96 Spanish Galleon and I have a question, the paint list has two Reds Fiery Red and Purple Red, but in the instructions it lists only red without defining which one.  Can anyone help me with this?  Thanks
