There is nothing delicate about my craftsmanship. Slash and burn!

You are so right with this ship. O I want to build it. I saw a kit years ago but it had 4 towers that I can remember. Do you know the time frame that this ship was built? I will be studying your build. You have got a excellent start to this build. I am not proud when I say this but I hope I can copy the hell out of you.

Hello, Jim Conacher.
The Silent Mary's blueprints were completed around 2018.
Starting from scratch with nothing, I managed to gather the necessary reference materials and created the blueprints based on them. Some details were clarified later, so the blueprints contain a few errors.
The Silent Mary is said to be a first-rate ship of the line with about 108 cannons, which would make it roughly the same size as the British Royal Navy's HMS Victory...
However, I couldn't find any official length specifications for the Silent Mary online. So, if I used the Victory's length for the Silent Mary and scaled it down to 1/72, it would end up over 140cm long...
I wanted to keep the model under 90cm somehow, so I arbitrarily set the Silent Mary's length to about 87-90m (hull length around 65-69m). Scaling it down to about 1/98 would make the model roughly 89cm. That seemed just the right size to me, so I decided to draw the plans at that scale.
I set the human figures to about 1/72 to 1/75 scale.
Maybe it's better to leave the scale indication unspecified.
Movie sets aren't always built to actual size, after all.
I've been working on it since 2018, with several interruptions along the way.
Combined, that's about two years of breaks.
Since I worked on it sporadically, it ended up taking about five years of total work time.
Jim Conacher, you should give it a try too.
Nowadays, since I drew the blueprints and a lot of reference material is available online, it might be a bit easier for you.

Hello, Ships By Me.
Thanks for the comment.
Are you perhaps building the Silent Mary?
Or maybe GIG1810's Athena?
Could it be you need plans for the Silent Mary?
Sorry if this is none of my business.
The Silent Mary plans I created have some errors, but they're free.
Please see my blog below:

Hello, Shipsbyme.
Thanks for getting in touch.
I watched the YouTube videos.
Queen Anne's Revenge is absolutely amazing!!
My Silent Mary has all sorts of mistakes.
There were parts I didn't understand, and since I just couldn't figure them out, I built it as best I could. Later, I figured out the parts I didn't understand.
I didn't fix them, so if you look up the mistakes, you can see them.

Your craftsmanship is top-tier.
You'll surely complete a Silent Mary far more splendid than mine.

I wish you smooth sailing in building your Silent Mary.

And your plans are realy helpful im studying them everyday.i make plans how to figure out to get lights in it . I cant wait to start up. I wil keep you updated or just take a look somtimes on yt.

Shipsbyme, thank you for your reply.
I don't post on YouTube.
I have my own homepage, which I think is sufficient. My homepage is as follows:

BP001

Work keeps me from working on the Silent Mary much. (I plan to make barrels and crew members, though.)
I'll post one image of the Silent Mary with AI-generated sky and sea composites.

It's a magnificent model. Just one point: I see the double-headed eagle is supporting the current flag of the Spanish monarchy. For the period in which I would place this galleon, the next flag would be more appropriate. But the author always has the final say.
