The Santa Maria - Spanish Galleon
« on: May 22, 2011, 22:38:48 »
 :wave: Hi I just wanted to share my pics of my latest pirate ship conversion. I've done two Spanish galleons and this is the first the Santa Maria, unfortunately although the paintings been done on my second ship  I need a few spare parts so I'll have to show of the white and gold version later on.

The sail designs are based on real 16th century Spanish galleon, featuring the royal emblems.









Improvise, adapt, overcome ..... If all else fails FAKE IT!

If I remember well, the flagship of the Spanish Armada led by Sir Medina Sidonia , sent in A.D. 1588 by Felipe II - King of Spain and the Netherlands - to invade England and convert the polulation to Catholicism, was a galleon named "Santa Maria"...  ;)

Resistance is futile, you will be boarded!
