Hi Ramon, I have the same issue since last update when uploading from my phone. From the PC you should be able to rotate them.

Planking is simply stunning. Great work!
Hallo Ramon,
what was the reason for the clinker hull planking of the upper deck?
Very interesting combination
what was the reason for the clinker hull planking of the upper deck?
Very interesting combination
the Ordinance of 1618, establishes it this way. The reason is because it weighed less, was cheaper and more waterproof.
What’s a clinker hull? Make me smart.
Clinker planking on the hull,planks are overlapping each other
What is the difference between Clinker and Carvel construction?
Clinker built vessels are lighter because they have less internal framing, meaning they move faster because they displace less water. Clinker vessels are less rigid then carvel constructions; this limits the type of sailing rigs the vessel can take.
Carvel-built wooden boats and tall ships are made by fixing planks to a frame so the planks butt up against one another. In Clinker building (or lapstrake) hulls the planks overlap along their edges. In a Carvel construction, a smooth hull is created, that is stronger than a clinker-built hull. However, more caulking is required between the joints in carvel than in a clinker construction. The framing gives a carvel construction a stronger hull, meaning it can carry a full sail plan and can have a longer and broader hull.

In the beginning of this building log Ramon mentioned these books (next to several other)
If you are interested the are available for free download - check the Topic:
THE SPANISH GALLEON OF THE XVII CENTURY - LOS GALEONES ESPAÑOLES DEL SIGLO XVII - for free download
In the french forum of Gerard a link was shown to a very interesting download of two spanish books describing in detail the spanish Galleon of the 17th Century, which could be of help and interest of everybody building such a model or for research - Looks very interesting and complete, so maybe...
