Legendary for the amount of gold that they carry, the treasure galleons of the Imperial Armada are also heavily armed in order to fend off any daredevil Pirates.

Esperanza features an integrated mechanism to run out the cannons on each side. In between the cannons on the gundeck is the massive cargo hold, that is filled to the brim with gold!
I worked hard to ensure that Minifigures can still stand below deck and the interior is fully accessible on both the gundeck and the great cabin above it.

The pilot house contains a functioning steering mechanism - using a historically accurate whipstaff instead of a steering wheel:
Galleons were built before the steering wheel was invented in 1699, so they all would have been steered in this fashion.

Esperanza comes with 14 Minifigures.

Encouraged by fan requests for a galleon, I have worked on this project for just over a year, spending many sleepless nights on it - and two complete redesigns.
In the end, I think Esperanza came out very well - what do you think?
