From Wikipedia on The Beagle's first voyage (1826-1830) - "On 27 September 1825 The Beagle docked at Woolwich to be repaired and fitted out for her new duties. Her guns were reduced from ten cannon to six and a mizzen mast was added to improve her handling, thereby changing her from a brig to a bark (or barque)." (she was launched in 1820).
Thank you John. I followed all your videos which I needed! My ship is all but finished. It pushed me but with your help I have succeeded. Thank you once again
beautiful ship , I started building this at the same time as you but I am a long way from finishing. It's my first ship and I am struggling with it but with the help of your videos am slowly getting there. At least I'm learning as I go lol
Hey John the cannons are accurate though. If you research the history of the beagle, she was rebuild, or rather rerigged and a mizen mast was added. For the research cruise on which Darwin was on board the number of cannons she was carrying was also reduced to 8, which I think includes the carronade on the foredeck. She was build during the napoleonischen wars but was traveling during peace times, so that does make sense given the premise of this ship
Hi John . l started this ship just before Christmas 21 . l have just finished her . l have never done this before , its not perfect but lm happy . Thanks to you and your videos . Give wolf a pat , and again thank you so much for your help
Thank you for another great review. Very nice job building this. I got my kit for the Montanes last week and will be starting the build shortly. Say hi to Wolf for me and thanks as always for your advice.
John, I largely agree with your comments. I would also add that whilst I think the instructions were generally good there were a number of omissions and errors in the rigging plans. The rigging was difficult and in parts impossible, for example , it was not possible to attach many of the ropes to the correct belaying pins, particularly in front of the bow cabins. The plans did not always help in these problems as they had not always, in my view, been properly thought out. However, this should not be allowed to detract from what was a really good model.
You can say that again Keran! To a point it was simple impossible to attach any more ropes in front of the mast at the bow. But yes the result is a beautiful model!
The Beagle was my first wooden model ship so I didn't know what to expect. The only thing that tried my patience was the ladders. A good model kit though and looks beautiful. Well done, John.
Thank you very much Buck!!! It is not recommended as a ship to begin with but since you have manage to build it i am sure that she will look fantastic :)
Hi Mr John. A litle more than a year ago I ask you if you sale any of the ship you have built or will build in the future. I will love to buy from you a couple of them. I am thinking Santa Ana, Nuestra Señora de la Santísima Trinidad,
Hello John and a very happy holiday season to both you and Wolf! I've been seeing a number of Mamoli kits on sale lately. Do you have any experience with them? What is their level of quality?
Hi James! Happy holidays season to you too! Yes i have made one in the past, it was good ,nice quality but not top of the line. I believe that their expensive kits are very good.
Hello again John. It's just a few hours left until the big reveal!! I'm chomping at the bit to know what it is! Your skills and the willingness to share them are a real Godsend to those of us who aspire to your level of craftsmanship
Dear Mr John. I like to know if you sale any of ships you have built before or any ship you will build in the future. I would love to be able to purchase a couple of them from you.
Let me know if this is something you are willing to do. I love your work. There some very famous ships that you have work on. Like the “Nuestra Señora de la Santísima Trinidad” “Santa Ana” and many others.
Hi Arnold, i do sale some of my ships. The Santa Ana is not for sale, the Santisima Trinidad is for sale and so some of my previous models. Contact me through email : john.aliprantis@gmail.com or through Facebook messenger if you wish to know more details and prices. But have in mind that models that will cost 500-600 euros to buy as a kit and have 8-12 months of work won't have a price of 1000 euros.

hi john,i have started rigging the hms beagle,i have noticed the red lines and blue lines on the rigging plans,could you tell me what the blue lines are for please,thanks
If you would have done a bit of research, you could have easily found out about the guns and gunports.. And the parts you hate or said that they are a mistake, is because it is a cheap kit they have to make some consessions.. those parts are easily made in solid Wood too, not much work and you don't end up with a model with parts you hate.. But, after all, congratulations with another finished build!! Up to the next one!!
Hi Wilko! I know that i could have made some parts on my own, but since this kit is not an expensive one and the range of people is not the advanced modelers, to change stuff and make them on my own would be something that the people who will build this one will find hard to do. Also the review is for the model that you can build from this kit, so there are parts that i hate. If you take the time to watch the Montanes Series you will find out that i have made a lot of additions. The result of the Beagle is a beautiful model, we agree and the owner agrees more ! The next one is something that you will love :)

watching this series, has inspired me. I've just brought the kit. Can't wait to get started. Thanks John
Hope you enjoy it Ben!!!
Your build of the Beagle is a true museum piece
Thank you very much for your kind words!!! I am sure that the owner of the Beagle love it :)

Hello John, the model shows the ship as it was converted for the expeditions of Charles Darwin. Therefore only the 6 cannons.
Thank you for the info! I still think she would look better with more cannons :)
It is a beautiful model John. Another thing I didn’t like was the difficulty of mounting the bowsprit.
Thank you James!!! Yes it was unexpected even from me, and it was pretty hard to open up the hole without destroying everything.

Alright i'll give it a try
