San Giovanni Battista is a fine example of the majestic galleons that ruled the seas during the 16th and 17th centuries. San Giovanni Battista, Saint John the Baptist in English, had a painting of the saint on the stern of the ship. The galleon evolved from the caravel with a lowered forecastle and elongation of the hull that gave unprecedented stability in the water and reduced wind resistance at the bow, making it a faster more maneuverable vessel.
Galleons were built from oak with a large ship requiring over 2000 trees. The ship weighed 400 tons, sailed at 4 to 8 knots, and could carry 100 sailors and passengers. The galleon had five decks, three masts and awesome firepower. Whether used for war or commerce the galleon was armed with demi-culverin type cannons. Galleons were most famously used in the Spanish treasure fleet.Dragii mei, am sa prezint în acesta postare evoluţia de-a lungul timpului a machetei galionului"Sf. Ioan Botezatorul", odată cu lansarea celor de la DeAgostini a revistei "Mari corăbii".
În primul rand vreau sa menţionez ca aceasta ar fi prima mea lucrare în modelismul naval cu materiale din lemn. As dori sa ştiu părerea voastră despre activitatea de pana acum.(cu mentiunea ca primele imagini sunt incepand cu nr.16 al revistei, pana la aceasta data strangand doar piesele din numerele anterioare)
Va multumesc anticipat.

Stadiul lucrării nr.17
Zi intensă de lucru astăzi fiindcă odată cu nr.17 au apărut multe probleme, ce tin în special de imbinarile punţilor cu osatura navei si totodată deplasări majore ale axului central al navei. După vreo doua ore de "chin" plăcut iată ce a ieşit.
PS.Am mai adăugat si clantele uşilor.
