Thanks Recognition from the creator of my most favourite ship mens a lot to me.
My future plan is to build something to accompany this ship on the shelf - small Spanish village or watchtower. I am slowly working on it, but a lot of planning is ahead of me, since I do not own many bricks (most of the bricks used on my ship were order purely to build it). I will probably post some WIP
Thanks a lot The rigging can be a huge pain in the a.., especially from the beginning
Amazing ship. Very nice colourscheme and shape.
The only thing I do not like that much is the stern. That tan area under windows is very large and plain. Some decoration would be nice.
Anyway it is very nice ship. I hope to see it completed soon
Looking good so far
The only thing I am not sure about are the skeletons and white lattice in the windows.
The ship is mostly dark (black and dark tan - i guess) and those white pieces are very contrasting.
Looking forward to your next update.
Getting to the frontpage is really an honor for me, thank you
As I said at the beginning, Santiago is not historically accurate ship, but thanks for pointing out the fact, that the steering wheel was invented much later. I didn't know that.
I guess you meant those guys:
Am I right?
Thank you very much Well I have access to photographic lights and basic understanding how to use digital camera. And a bit of photoshop here and there.
SANTIAGO is fictional (and historically inaccurate) spanish galleon cruising the seas around the year 1630.
Inspiration came from an amazing ship Nuestra Senora de la Concepcion built by Captain Greenhair and Bonaparte. After seeing that beauty my goal was clear = modular, kinda bulky galleon with an interior.
Besides enlarging and slightly modifying my Black Seas Barracuda, this is my first MOC as an adult. I hope you will like it :-)
