...look good but maybe it is more accurate to not include them? I note that the book "Anatomy of the Susan Constant" (a contemporary of the Golden Hind from 1605) does not show any tackles. But Hirsch, in his book on galleons, shows two lines going through a tackle from the channel to the top...

...I have answered my own question :-) I looked in Lavery's Anatomy of the Ship book on the Susan Constant, 1605, a contemporary of the Golden Hind. The two ships seem very similar. Anyway, the pump looks right, and there are two, and they are near the main mast. And here is the description...

I come seeking advice ... on pumps. The Airfix Golden Hind does not include bilge pumps. I think they were probably present. So I have bought one that I think is of the right kind. The scale seems right - the figure is from the kit. My questions are 1) is this the right sort of bilge pump for...

Pepite 1/60 -- Wow, the Berlin looks close to the Kalmar Nyckel! The deck wales are almost identical and the quarter deck and rigging look very similar. Plus, both have a crow's nest atop the bowsprit. Thanks for the heads-up. I'm going to research the Berlin to see whether there were any...

...impression of the Kalmar Nyckel? I think I know the answer, but asking this esteemed group: Possible or Impossible? Or should I just do what some others have done and smash together two similarly scaled model kits of the Mayflower and the Golden Hind to come up with a "Frankenstein" Kalmar...

...(Endeavour kit) had no halyards and the extra rigging I included was a reduced set - with no halyards. I noticed that the knights in the Golden Hind kit had no sheaves - probably because there are no halyards in the kit. But I am adding halyards - so I spent a couple of days learning...

Just to add to the information here, Google AI gave this information: A Golden Hind build here on SoS clearly shows and discusses the offset spritsail, and it's mentioned that it should be angled to the center at the tip. An excellent video on How a 16th Century Sailing Ship Works clearly...

Good tips, thank you!

...button at the top right corner to look up discussions on particular topics. If you want to find what people have to say about shrouds, mizzenmasts, the Golden Hind, paper models, and much much more, just type in a search and you will get more if not most of the information you need. Smooth...

I've been following this thread and have enjoyed all the commentary and seeing how some of it applied to my experiences. I like the depth of your approach, however I have to take exception to ganging Mystic with other museums, historical or otherwise. It's almost as if you had never been there...

...Sometimes the quality of a modeler's output varies for any number of understandable reasons. I once built a (alleged) model of Drakes Golden Hind with my then nine-year-old daughter and her classmate for a school project. As such things go, the four-foot-long model had a hull made of plaster...

Ah...I did not see them as clouds! I thought they were trees...on either side of the view! They would have to be cumulus clouds given the shape and I didn;t think they looked right. I also looked at others and most (?) had painted them green, which is also probably why I thought they were trees...

...rigging logic — where blocks should go and how lines are actually secured. Recently I finished another scratch build inspired by Golden Hind. I tried new working methods again and did more brass work for the deadeye holders. Sails are still my weak point — I still can’t make them look...

...hard pressed to find anything else than the ships of some early European explorers. Maybe the Magellan 'Victoria' (Disar Model) or the 'Golden Hind' (Occre, Mamoli, ...), later the 'Beagle' (Occre, Mamoli). Indonesia sure has a very old and diverse nautical tradition, trading with the...

Good day John, My suggestion ... on my drawing I don't have mast tackles...17 and 36 are tackles of F and M Top masts backstays, they are mirrored...on both sides There I have some doubts, in this period they should be running backstays, rbs have different rigging arrangements... I doubtful...

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...

...of ..." this book will cover 100% questions of galleon rigging...when read You be need to choose information conserning english style of rigging... Ps I would like to reccomend to You to use Eugen Troppmann's Golden Hind rigging plan - He made it very carefully and historicaly correctly ....
