History of the San Felipe Ship
The vessel known by various names such as "San Felipe," "El Real," or "Real Felipe," is named after King Felipe V of Spain, the first king of the Bourbon dynasty in Spain.
This ship, built in 1716 at the shipyards of San Feliú de Gixols, is a first-class three-deck warship. Its design includes robust construction with double internal and external planking, providing great hull strength.
The magnitude of its construction, which used more than 4,000 trees, contributed to deforestation in Spain according to some historians.
With 108 cannons and impressive measurements of 67 meters in length, 16.5 meters in beam, and 12 meters in draft, the San Felipe, adorned with majestic sculptures, was a formidable adversary capable of facing any enemy of the time.
Its service began in the Sardinian campaign in October 1717 under the command of squadron chief D. Esteban Mari Centurione. Subsequently, it participated in the Sicilian campaign in 1718 under the command of Captain D. Pedro Despoix and squadron chief D. Antonio Gaztañeta e Iturribalzaga.
After completing its mission, the San Felipe was taken to Syracuse and then sent to Mahon, which was in British hands. However, negligence resulted in a fire and explosion, completely destroying the San Felipe.

I just purchased the San Felipe, largely due to the excellent Step by Step videos that you have posted. I’ve noticed that there hasn’t been a new one in over three weeks. Do you plan on continuing this series or are you at an end? Of course I’m hoping for more as they’ve been extremely helpful to date. Thank you.

Question: when using contact cement is it necessary to remove any “overlap” before completing the project? As an example, when planking the false deck the full deck has the cement applied. However, due to various reasons (perhaps it is a half which joins to another piece) all the planking strips may not all be glued down at one setting. In completing the project at a later time, do you have to remove whatever cement that has not been covered? And if so, what is the preferred method? Is it possible simply to apply another thin layer and continue as before? Or can you just apply the cement to the plank and then press it into the previously coated but now dried deck? Contact cement does not appear to be widely used in the US in wooden ship modeling so I’m very curious as to how to take advantage of this technique. Thank you for your consideration of my question.
