Spanish Galleon by Revell - Quick Build

Got another section done. This was an open box with a few missing pieces. It came with an Elizabethan Manowar that was also open and missing pieces. Ive managed to scavenge a few parts from the Manowar to make up for the missing pieces on this one. But no Bilge pump sadly. I believe I have all the remaining pieces needed to finish the model.

Excellent work I love it, Spanish Galleons are definitely one of my favorite types of ship. Thank you for posting, I will keep following your build log.
 
Finished the Gallery, installed the side boards with the dead eyes and tied off the anchor. The deadeye assembly was a real pain getting in between the ropes with the paint.
I saw on some other build log launch boats being tied down and oars tied up, which I really liked. So I glued some extra fasteners to the deck and tied everything down.
Also, came up with another missing piece. This time it was one of the smaller supports for the gallery. There was a cheap listing of this kit on Ebay, so I went ahead and grabbed an extra copy.
