L'Orenoque Mamoli 1:100 scale

[The Gavel]

I decided to do a mockup of the fore and mainmasts based on the lengths given in the Magellan plans. 28 meters lower masts 20 meters topmasts. So, 280mm, less the distance from the bottom of the keel to the top of the deck (yellow line) and then 200mm less 40mm doubling (red line). Looks very tall - too tall?

Happy anniversary to you both!

Magellen gives 17M for the topmasts , not 20 so you are probably 3CM too tall.
