Montanes - The Making Of

The making of the model ship Montañés.
The “Montañés” represents the maximum level of perfection achieved by Spanish naval architecture, when Spanish ships of the line were a match for those of any navy in the world. The figurehead of this ship is not the royal lion but a “montañes” (highlander), in gratitude for the financial contribution towards her construction made by the people of the mountains.
She was launched in Ferrol on 14th May 1794. It is said that she was an extraordinary vessel, whether sailing close to the wind, running free or with a following wind, and that, more than any other ship, she kept her batteries out of the water.
She was engaged in a number of battles, including Trafalgar, where she mounted 76 guns and 4 carronades with mortars, located on her quarter deck. On 6th March 1810, in a violent storm, she sank off the Bay of Cadiz.
The scale of the model is 1:70 and it belongs at the OcCre series. The time I needed to make this model was approximately 11 months with hundreds of working hours. The cost was approximately 580 euros (without the display case). The varnish is gloss by choice because it "brings out" the wood, it's easier to clean, you cannot have any white spots and it looks better. You can see this as my trademark! To answer a typical question, yes, she will probably float, but you will never put her in water.
This video comes in 4K and has 2 sequential parts, the 1st part is a photo montage (consist of more than 1000 photos) of every step of the making and the 2nd part is a plain video showing the finished model.
The music tracks in this video with the order of playing are: Invitation to the Castle Ball by Doug Maxwell, Blue Danube by Yohan Strauss and 9th Symphony Finale by Beethoven.

Thanks for making this video John. We are so happy to collaborate with you. We hope you enjoyed a lot. Now to the next project ;) Have a nice day!!

Many, many thanks John! Just finished the Montanes build! A little over a year, (750 hours) and it turned out spectacular! Only my second build (after the HMS Terror) and I’m very proud of it. I would not, and could not, have done this without your video series. It was immensely helpful and gave me the confidence to attempt and complete this build. Please keep posting and I’ll keep watching. My next project is a displace case for this beautiful ship. THANKS AGAIN!

Although you beat me to the superlatives, I'll say them again. It is truly a magnificent work of art! Any maritime museum would feel itself privileged to have your build on display. You should be proud. It has been a "Joy" to watch you bring this ship to "Life". Salut!!

[@ronkrijbolder437]

Well done John and lots of usefull info for me during your build. In my build of the Montanes i was able to "close" the hull of the ship. Adding details is going to take a little longer because i am not going to use certain brass parts in the bow section and use alternative parts to give a more realistic look. The endresult of your build is very satisfactory to me and i am looking forward to your next build!!

[@JohnsWoodenShips]

Thank you very much Ron!!! I am glad that you like it!!! I am pretty sure that when yours is done she will look amazing!!!

[@wbpsmodels3452]

Magnificent indeed. Absolutely. Words are not enough.

[@JohnsWoodenShips]

Thank you very much!!! She is a beauty :)

[@dancummings3697]

Here is a quick fix: A behemoth like Montanes will not be your first or even second build. You can experiment with matte, satin, and gloss varnishes, or a combination of them in your beginner and intermediate models. That way you will know what looks good to you before you begin a monster like Montanes. John likes gloss, so more power to him. I'm going to make my next ship with gloss on the planking & stern and satin on the decks and working parts. If you apply gloss don't like it, you can always use satin or matte for your second coat. You can even add a small amount of satin to gloss, or matte to satin to customize the sheen. Test this in small amounts on scrap wood first. BTW John, I ordered my own Montanes kit halfway through watching this playlist. Thank you for the inspiration and for showing us your incredible work.

[@JohnsWoodenShips]

Exactly like you said Dan, you can choose the type of the varnish that suits you :) I hope that you will enjoy this baby as much as i did :)

[@deanmoseley8324]

[@milanvanasek9567]

The boat is beautiful, but in my opinion there is too much shiny varnish on it. It was also necessary to remove the hair on the ropes.

[@JohnsWoodenShips]

It is a very beautiful ship, i agree with you. You don't like gloss, me on the other hand i love it, so it is a point of view that has to do with the personal taste. Regarding the ropes , i do not like wax because of the residue that leaves behind and the flame doesn't work fine.

Great model, but Montanes was built in 1794, not 1974. Bit of a type error on the nameplate 😅

[@JohnsWoodenShips]

@@bencristofani3116 You don’t get it do you Ben? This is my build and I do it the way I like, not the way you or anybody else wants. If you want to paint it matt or satin you are free to do so. Buy one, build it and paint the way you like. Also to make it more realistic you have to use the same type of wood they used when the ship was build. You do not have to use airbrush, only paint brush. Also you have to use nails in the hull and cover them with tar. The lower part of the hull must be cover with copper plates. The masts must be made out of woodstrips tied together. And I can continue to tell you different things that YOU HAVE to do to make it realistic. By the way, I do not like your car, what ever it is, it is not the proper type of car, it is not realistic even though it is on 1:1 scale. You have to change it so I would like it. Now do you get it?

[@TrevorsWorkbench]

i would tend to agree that the varnish is a bit to shiny for me... but I am not seeing it in person so I do not know how much of the shine is due to the lighting for the pictures and the video. I now that my ships look different on the camera than they do to the eye. The ship looks absolutely fantastic and something you should be proud of. Keep up the great work!
