Title: The Santa Maria - Spanish Galleon
Post by: Emma.J on May 22, 2011, 22:38:48
 :wave: Hi I just wanted to share my pics of my latest pirate ship conversion. I've done two Spanish galleons and this is the first the Santa Maria, unfortunately although the paintings been done on my second ship  I need a few spare parts so I'll have to show of the white and gold version later on.

The sail designs are based on real 16th century Spanish galleon, featuring the royal emblems.

 :love: :love: :love: I'm out of comments!!  :camera:

If I remember well, the flagship of the Spanish Armada led by Sir Medina Sidonia , sent in A.D. 1588 by Felipe II - King of Spain and the Netherlands - to invade England and convert the polulation to Catholicism, was a galleon named "Santa Maria"...  ;)

No Emma! You can't show you White and Gold Version yet! :o
I have a White and Gold version of this ship coming out soon,
And if you do yours first mine won't look as good. ;)

Stupendous creation Emma!
My mind is simply blown! 8}

Ahh the sails are just printed card, they're not waterproof but how many off us really sail our ships. (Or am I the only one who can't bear to see them get dirty!)

No Emma! You can't show you White and Gold Version yet! :o

Oh no fears there I don't have all the masts for it and I'm just so busy working on my Palladian Mansion that I don't really have time at the moment anyway  :'(

Ohh yes and i hate to admit it but it's wonderful!!!! I'd love one! I had lego as a kid and I miss it but it's so expensive compared to PM, I'd love a Tower Bridge and a Death Star - more childhood memories!
