• Version 1 (16/12/2020) includes the original Spanish hull and the British refit hull. Each are split into a high and low hull version. The high hull will better match other ship manufacture models and allow bases with wavy/rough sea conditions to better fit the model. The low version is better suited to a glass sea.

Photos are of the Spanish hull and a set of resin printed first rate sails. Photos with two hulls show the original Spanish hull and the British refit hull. All printed in resin at 1:700 scale.

The ship hull and shape was built as accurately as possible to various plans. The hull under the waterline was then removed and the upper parts were simplified in detail at the bow, thickened in the stern, windows exaggerated, and deck detail exaggerated. All this to be able to print out at 1:700 (and larger) scales. Prints very well at smaller scales in resin. For 1:1200 scale the hull to be 58.36% of the original model size).

The sails are of a generic 1st/2nd rate size and will be usable with other published 1st/2nd rate ships. Does not include the ratlines, flags or rigging string. No supports are usually required on any part of an fdm print. Supports will be required for the sails when resin printing.

For fdm mast assembly, please see the photos on the Intrepid-class 64 gun model (on this site) showing the bowsprit parts and mizzen (rear sail parts) being assembled.
