Hi all. I'm not a ship-builder but I am a miniaturist. I came here specifically to find someone who can design ships to work with for a special project, and hopefully if I'm extra lucky, someone within a drivable distance to sit down with it possible.

I'm 55, a mom, a professional, equestrian, artist, an international magazine-featured miniaturist (::buffs knuckles::), a business owner, a published fiction author, and many other things thanks to a lifetime of ADHD. So if you can design galleons... ping me. I have a project that could be really fun and also lucrative for both of us if done well. I really intend to follow through, so please be serious about responding if you do.

Steph.
 
Interesting approach.
Please define 'gallions'.
Many people mention 'gallions', when they mean different ship types in the 16th, 17th and 18th century.

By galleons, do you mean the specific type of sailing ship that dominated the seas between the 16th and 18th centuries? It was an evolution of older ships such as the caravel and the carrack.
 
Welcome to SoS Steph.
As mentioned above can you be more specific? Year/era, nation, size, merchant or naval, real/actual ship or Disney version, etc. etc. The early galleons became common in Europe in the early 16th century, but Manila galleons were built into the 19th century,
