Portuguese Carrack XVth Century Full Build video Plamo Build

MY PATREON: - www.patreon.co...
A carrack (Portuguese: carraca, Spanish: carraca, Catalan: carraca, Croatian: karaka) is a three- or four-masted ocean-going sailing ship that was developed in the 14th to 15th centuries in Europe, most notably in Portugal. Evolved from the single-masted cog, the carrack was first used for European trade from the Mediterranean to the Baltic and quickly found use with the newly found wealth of the trade between Europe and Africa and then the trans-Atlantic trade with the Americas. In their most advanced forms, they were used by the Portuguese for trade between Europe and Asia starting in the late 15th century, before eventually being superseded in the 17th century by the galleon, introduced in the 16th century.
In its most developed form, the carrack was a carvel-built ocean-going ship: large enough to be stable in heavy seas, and capacious enough to carry a large cargo and the provisions needed for very long voyages. The later carracks were square-rigged on the foremast and mainmast and lateen-rigged on the mizzenmast. They had a high rounded stern with aftcastle, forecastle and bowsprit at the stem. As the predecessor of the galleon, the carrack was one of the most influential ship designs in history; while ships became more specialized in the following centuries, the basic design remained unchanged throughout this period.
This is a build of the Portuguese Carrack on a 1:250 scale

Sometimes life asks us to stop and enjoy a simple pleasure just because we can, Alex. A beaut little build which no doubt brought you some time to relax, take stock and build something.......simple just because you could! Enjoy more times like these.

[@daniellambrecht5937]

In these crazy times, this was just what I needed to sit back and relax for a bit. Lovely build for a simple kit!

[@AlexModeling]

Honored! Exactly why i built it

[@fearofthedark666]

Outstanding contribution as usual Alex. This your history in scale. Cheers.

[@anthonyeagleton4126]

Absolutely love your modelling. Your videos are a joy to watch!

[@valborchardt3596]

Bravo Alex, absolutely stunning as your models always are…..obrigado, and be safe from South Africa

[@fubarmodelyard1392]

Simple but you made her interesting. Every sailing ship kit should have cloth sails

[@AlexModeling]

I totally agree my friend! I hope you and tours are well and safe!

[@michaellindsey1543]

Fun little build Alex.. love the way you do the water effects

[@AlexModeling]

Thank you Harry! Doing the water and put this very small Carrack on it was much fun for me. Thanks

[@rupertcarss6704]

Wonderful! Sometimes it's great to go to small scales. Super build and great sea base... the cloth sails are a delight.

[@AlexModeling]

Just the sails sede and are a great detail!

[@jbll36]

[@scale_history5584]

Great little kit! Wonderful job Alex. And I see we have the same technique for making "water"

[@billbrowning3021]

Very nice!

[@ghostofkadesh9041]

Nice 🙂 like 👍

[@chrisscalemodels5373]

nice! in 4th or 5th grade i wrote an essay on vasco da gamma 🙂 i like the water!!!

[@MD-jt8dj]

Muito interessante Alex, parabéns, é um kit bem legal e o diorama idem! Mas uma dúvida básica, por favor: uma carraca seria um tipo de navio entre uma nau e uma caravela ou nada a ver? Obrigado.👍🇧🇷

[@AlexModeling]

Sim, a questão é traduzir essa mesma embarcação noutra língua que não o Português. Mas São Gabriel é um Nau. Eu é q não sei q termo usar em Inglês

[@robertvmathews]

I've learned a lot by watching you. Especially the VASA build. Can I put in a request for a Mikasa build? I built this kit recently and would love to know how to do it better. Hasegawa Z21 IJN Mikasa The Battle of Japan Sea 1/350 Scale Kit I've also got this 1:96 scale model of the Cutty Sark that I'm scared to start.

[@ralfweber7562]

Very nice little ship. But what`s about the Albatros? Have you cancelled this project? I was following your build quite a while...

[@AlexModeling]

No! Im building it! 🙂👍👍

[@fadista4u]

Hi Alex, love your videos. I’m in the Azores. Can you recommend where I can order kits and materials to the islands. It seems to be difficult especially for liquids. Thanks in advance. Jess

[@jonathanwenzel2172]

Do you have a color guide for the colors you layered for the water?

[@AlexModeling]

No sir i don't. I go with the flow. There are a lot of vídeos here on KZbin for you to research colors! 👍👍👍

[@elcaputo5931]

Hello Alex, you have built a very nice little model again. You can make something beautiful out of a simple kit. For the rigging, however, I would have used the yarn from EZ-Line, which is very filigree and elastic...great for something like that. When will the Albatros actually continue?

[@AlexModeling]

Neber stoped! Just doing it slow. Master have to bE perfect... Bought two books on rigging and i AM reading it. But the build continues

[@elcaputo5931]

@@AlexModeling The "Wolfram zu Mondfeld" is recommended for the rigging, which I also have. Find that the assembly instructions could be a little better in this regard.

[@AlexModeling]

Yes, i agree, but even so i prefer read, watch some vídeos about rigging, and go slow. Never did this type of models and i want it to be good and the best i can

[@elcaputo5931]

@@AlexModeling I've also looked for videos but haven't really found anything useful. if you find something good, i would be happy if you had some links to it.

[@AlexModeling]

Thats the problem.... I onky find a bit here, and a bit there.. fact is its very if not extremely dificult to film all complete process... And, in my case, or you do One thing or the other when you don t have a film Crew or even a cameramen. Its very dificult. I watch a vídeo here, another there and just try to get the "big picture"
