Not yet, but I'm planning on doing it and I've started to collect the parts. I've noticed that the upload of pictures on this forum is not ideal. But you can check the rebrickable link that's attached to the original post.

Embark on a time-traveling voyage to the Age of Discovery! Get ready to build a replica of an imposing 16th-century Portuguese Carrack. Known as "Naus", these vessels were the giants of the seas, responsible for connecting Europe to the Orient and the New World. What makes this model special is its military might! This Carrack can be equipped with 22 cannons strategically positioned: 10 on each side, plus 2 at the stern. Besides them, it also features 6 swivel guns. This model is packed with interactive elements for realistic play and display: - Functional rudder: At the stern, you'll find a fully functional rudder. A gear allows you to turn the rudder left and right, just like the contemporary mechanism used by the helmsman to steer the ship through treacherous waters. - Working capstan: On the main deck, build the wooden capstan. This rotating drum is fully functional! Turn it to simulate hoisting the heavy anchors, just as the sailors did with capstan bars. The uncharted seas await you! Note: rigging, sails, cannons and minifigures are not included in the project. Link: https://reb.li/m/254480

Hello all. I've been working on several designs, mainly ships, and this is my interpretation of a Portuguese round caravel from the 16th-century. It has 955 pieces. This is what I wanted to reproduce: You can find my MOC on this link: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-253571/virgiliodias/round-caravel/#details
