Revisiting the Spanish 74's...

[Diamondback]

Prefatory note: as most of the old surviving 68's and 70's were later uprated into 74's with the addition of QD/FC guns (which was all they were missing anyway), I'm including them in this thread. Oldest designs toward top; these are not necessarily to the same scale

1730 Principe (drawing is Princesa capt. 1740)


1750 Princesa (capt 1780)


1756 Triunfante (drawing is Monarca)


1766 San Juan Nepomuceno, three different possibles--sorry, for some reason the Spanish archives only post these tiny little thumbnails, probably beause they want you to buy hardcopies




1769 San Francisco de Paula?


1770 San Pedro Apostol?


1771 San Joaquin (drawing is San Damaso)


1773 San Miguel


Bahama as taken--timeline note, the 1788 major reconstruction falls between Ildefonso and Montanes, but raked stern seems a throwback to older


Ildefonso, as drawn by Romero Landa


Second Ildefonso drawing, specifically San Telmo (note, does not include galleries)


74/80 Montanes (improved Ildefonso; close enough for comparison to pre-Landa/Retamosa designs) -


Anyone see any pattern here we can start grouping things onto sculpts by for our 3d-print gurus?
