Working on the stern while waiting for cannons to come in the mail . I think the billing Boats golden Hind is 1/48 scale.

Mondfeld also says that running stays (he calls them shifting stays) were in use then and shows how they changed over the years. The one onthe far left matches what I have in my rigging diagram (from HiSmodel) :)

Hi Kirill Many thanks., I do have Anderson's book. It is next to me bed and has been for quite a while. I read a bit each night but it is vey dense and I do not remember much. I have taken some notes - but above all, I have noted to myself that it is an excellent reference when I am doing the...

I hate to say this but a very well made Mamoli Golden Hind in a glass display case failed to raise a single bid at a recent auction in the UK. At most the sort of models that we make raise 30- 40 UK pounds; ie nobody is going to recover the kit/material costs let alone the value of their time...

Greetings!...Thank you for your kind words! This model is not from a kit...completely hand-built...assembled using two different plans...

Great looking model. Great vintage finish. Your great looking model does appear to be the Imai Golden Hind version. A few characteristic details point strongly in that direction: The hull proportions and high forecastle/aftercastle match Imai’s interpretation of the Golden Hind. The...

Maybe I am nuts (this is certainly possible) but I cannot see the foremast in any of the pictures. There is one where it is blocked by a sail...

...of the rigging You could find here , on this famous ElJonas galleon model, consider as dafi said absolutely right "... All models of Golden Hind or Revenge base originally on that MB drawings, having the flaws added later. And as you look to seek for the best interpratation, also do not look...

...Have a look for the contemporary Mathew Baker´s books/drawings and you will find the mast´s position as in the Airfix kit. All models of Golden Hind or Revenge base originally on that MB drawings, having the flaws added later. And as you look to seek for the best interpratation, also do not...

2. The Gun Deck. I have already moaned about the difference in the location of the gun deck on the Airfix kit compared to others. But I have an Airfix kit and definitive knowledge is not available so I am going with that. But there are still concerns :-) Airfix provide four guns for the open...

More before, made a golden hind model from occre.this is my second model

Which kit is the smaller scale? Bill

My favorite ship design of all Ships is the Golden Hind. Looks like we're all at the same place in building! With the same sails! These sails are not bent on yet, I just placed them where they wont fall for the photo.

...not find any contemporary models or paintings of British galleons, including drawings by the Van de Veldes that show pins but there is a modern one from 1988 at RMG that shows pins. Maybe Golden Hind was ahead of her time:) Thanks again for posting the additional drawings. Great model! Allan

Hi I am just about to start the Airfix golden hind myself! I'm still reading about stuff and deciding on paint schemes etc. However I'm a bit confused. You say yours is 1/96 scale and it looks the same as mine which claims to be 1/72 scale. I know they may not be accurate and maybe 96 is closer...

Thanks. I wondered if it was something as simple as that :-) Appreciate your reply!
