After all, as you can see by the image above, we have designed the model with two alternative bows and sterns, to reflect the design changes suffered by the ship over the centuries. Thanks to such artifice, we shall be able to launch not just one but two different galleons (although with interchangeable bow and stern pieces, in order to facilitate the construction of hybrid models).
In the end, this is the shape our upcoming 03NAV001 Early Galleon is going to take:
And this is what the 03NAV006 Late Galleon following afterward is going to look like:
That's not all though, because we have also designed each mast in two different configurations: with either fully unfolded and partially furled sails. As both kits' masts will be interchangeable too, this will allow for even more customization and variations.
Worth to confirm that ultimate model kits will be waterline (despite drawings above are showing hulls complete to keel).
POLL REMINDER
As already announced, we shall start releasing soon a collection of naval flags suitable for this upcoming naval range. Our first releases are to comprise ensigns, jacks and pennants for Spanish, Portuguese, Catalan, French and Ottoman ships (either men-of-war and merchants/privateers); but we've also set recently a poll to help determine real priorities among users. Please help us decide by answering it! (follow this link)
