Yes in step 2.@Jack Rackham: presumably at some point you also deleted the deck itself from the "deck" model? There isn't an actual deck there now.
Of course.Can I use some stuff from "Ammo\BuildingItemsJRH"?

Not sure which one that was. I still have one VCO archive with cut out pieces. Very limited speed to uploadThere was once an archive with all sorts of separate pieces; from VCO, I think.
Might be that archive then?Not sure which one that was. I still have one VCO archive with cut out pieces.
I don't think I've ever heard of that before... usually they'd put either the port or the starboard chain/rope around the same capstan.Capstans are supposed to raise and lower the anchors, aren't they? So shouldn't a ship with two anchors have two capstans?
Looks fitting.Also, the whale figurehead doesn't seem aggressive enough for a fast war galleon. So I tried the half-gryphon instead.
Sounds good to me!The same trick - blank out the dragon in the ship's texture, then add a new locator to the bow - could be applied to one of the other fast galleons, so I may put the whale onto "FastGalleon3". That's not a war galleon, it's one of the dual purpose versions with bigger hold and smaller guns. But I'm not replacing all the dragons. A couple of fast galleons with custom figureheads make for a bit of variety, but the VCO figureheads are widely used in other ship models. Leaving the rest of the fast galleons with their dragons makes them different from those other ships.
How would you get the rope for the port anchor off the capstan without dropping it, so that you can then raise the starboard anchor? Anyway, as you can see from the top view in the second picture, a single, centrally mounted capstan isn't going to fit. ("SP_ApostolFelipe" also has two capstans.)I don't think I've ever heard of that before... usually they'd put either the port or the starboard chain/rope around the same capstan.
I think the capstan might also be used for other things than the anchor; for example to hoist rigging.
You can put a stopper on it so it doesn't drop. That's quite a common practice that's still done these days; even on large cruise ships.How would you get the rope for the port anchor off the capstan without dropping it, so that you can then raise the starboard anchor?
Maybe it did actually occur like that in history. I'm no expert at all.Anyway, as you can see from the top view in the second picture, a single, centrally mounted capstan isn't going to fit. ("SP_ApostolFelipe" also has two capstans.)
It suits her!"FastGalleon3" with a new figurehead:
@Bava, would you know about that?Would it be realistic to have a capstan on the quarterdeck? Perhaps this one is for rigging rather than anchors...
