This is my Revenge 1577 by Amati. I finally decided, for space saving, to complete the build just after the standing rigging. In the future, I may explore the possibility to add the sails. Throughout the build, a number of modifications were incorporated, which make for an artistic model rather than an accurate, historic representation. It's a choice we all make.

The main modifications are: All parts are re-plated with walnut including the balustrade and ramp. This changes the color pattern to full wood/dark, rather than painted white. Wood inlays were used for the side ship decorations, as well as for the internals. A 22 ft. Yawl from Vanguard Model, a few painted figurines at scale, custom ropes and blocks. I'm a slow builder: 2 years, ~3000 hours.

Loracs- I’m totally enthralled with your job on this galleon! The modifications you made are very tasteful and the detail is mesmerizing. I can look at it for hours. Big bravo-zulu to you and thanks for posting.
 
Thank you @txn4lyf, really appreciate the compliment. It was fun building it... and ship building is all about the journey.
 
I have the Revenge as well, incomplete at this stage and have painted it. Your model looks totally amazing and beautiful with the different timbers colours
and changes to it. Well done . Cheers
 
Thank you all, I'm really pleased you like it. It was a slightly risky move when I build it. Glad it paid off.

I know why these folks post this stuff, it part of their job, but as it has no place at SoS do they get blocked from future postings?

They are spambots: programs that scour the web to find sites, then create dummy accounts and post this kind of nonsense. Just hit the REPORT button button bottom right of the offending post.
