I love the Spanish Galleons, so I'll be pulling up a chair for this.

To improve the waterproofing of the keel, this wooden rod was introduced. Currently, this method is still used by the riverbank carpenters of the Spanish coast (for the few that remain)

that little peg was used a lot around the Great lakes the ship builders called then "stop waters"
Hallo Ramon,
your bolts at the keel structure are looking very realistic. Would be interesting to see how you make them and also interesting, how you install them.

When I do others I will put a step by step
Outstanding work
Hi Ramon,
You are going warp speed again.
What is the angle of the stern frame, or are you using a fish eye lense?

The angle is determined by the 'lanzamiento ", rake, that in the seventeenth century, in Spain, is measured at the height of the main deck. In this case it is 4'5, codos de ribera, that determines an angle of 30 degrees approximately. In this time the angle is very pronounced. Attached box of Vroom of 1617, where that characteristic is appreciated
