...because I thought Harry Houdini's model looked nice, it would be something different, and it would be a break from the demands of the Golden Hind. So it was just a bit of fun. I was going to follow the rigging in the kit - which includes stays and braces. I thought this was curious because...

Finally unboxing the Golden Hind model from OcCre, which I got back in October 2024. My particular interest in this ship comes from its connection to Sir Francis Drake, who attacked Cartagena de Indias in 1586, with the Golden Hind serving as his flagship. This one joins my growing collection of...

Popeye, thanks so much for these links!

...records of what any of Columbus' ships looked like. Nobody knows what the Nina, Pinta, or Santa Maria, or for that matter, the Mayflower, Golden Hind, and so on, actually looked like. All the models of them are simply educated guesses, if not outright fantasies, of the kit designers. Aspiring...

Here are a couple of pics of my version. Ther was indeed a gap in the rear-most piece, which I filled so it looks OK now. I think I had to sand the bottom so that it was curved also... The whole thing is not square. The corner joins are angled and the sides are not square either. Trying a...

They only fit together the one way, I think. And it matches the instructions. I dunno what went wrong! I will be more careful on the next Golden Hind!!!

I note that there’s another in-progress Airfix Golden Hind build log in this forum (and very impressive it’s looking…). I don’t want to duplicate, but I believe that my build is sufficiently different that it may provide additional information/inspiration for anyone who is considering tackling...

...is pretty much done...on to lasting. AL'S instructions leave a lot to be desired, but I'm working through it. Other builds: HMS Bounty [ Constructo 1:50] Golden Hind [Scientific] ,Cutty Sark[2] Scientific, MSW; Flying Fish [ Corel 1:50],Endurance [OcCre 1:70], Pride of Baltimore [MSW 1:64]

Good day Steve, One of the option, by my opinion, for the first model, we could just assemble and paint this model as it is( hull, decks and decks fittings) but rigging ,by my opinion, could be made more carefully and more complicated compare to this kits rigging plan...there is building report...

...why I was confused. "The advice you received from your friend is largely supported by the sources, particularly for the era of the Golden Hind (late 16th century). While diagonal lashings (gripes) were eventually used for boats suspended from davits, boats stowed on deck were typically...

...in my signature were bought from 2004 to 2010 when Mamoli was just plain Mamoli. I have the completed models of Mamoli Yacht Mary, and Golden Hind, which included inlaid colored planks unique to the Golden HInd. Then Mantua Santa Maria, (my very first model completed posted here but did not...

Finally I got started on the Junk. (Taking a little break from the Golden Hind - now that the cannons are all installed.) So far just tidying up pieces and doing a dry fit...

I am about to begin my first sailing ship build, using the 1977 Airfix 1/72 Golden Hind kit as a starting point. If anyone is interested, I have posted an in-box review of this elderly kit on my blog site, Model Kit World...

I started this as my first scratch model having had an unpleasant encounter with the Billings Golden Hind (I had completed and decorated the hull when I made the mistake of actually researching elizabethan galleons. As a result I discarded it and decided to build something from scratch). About...

...since 1976, when I started this hobby while serving in the US Navy. You can look at them should you wish; The Mantua Santa Maria, Mamoli Golden Hind, Mamoli Yacht Mary, and Corel Half Moon. I did not have pictures of the Artesania Latina kit of the revolutionay coastal patrol gunboat called...

This is my completed build of the Mamoli kit Golden HInd.

...the following kits since 1976 or 1978: US Dallas, forgot the manufacturer since I gave this one to my pastor in CA when I left, Mantua Santa Maria, Yacht Mary, Golden HInd and Half Moon. I will try to post a few pictures of these kits later. Currently building the Ocre Montanes, post that...

...to me and assembled them with some modifications. Actually, this ship isn’t my first model. Back in my youth, I started building a Golden Hind, but never finished it. It’s still waiting for its time. When I started working on the Bellona, I didn’t expect to go beyond the Corel project scope...

Oh no! These Spaniard also knew how to use their cannon! So unfair! Aeropiccola had a quite big Golden Hind looking very much like this one (minus the battle damage, of course).

Does anybody on this thread have any clues as to the origins of this sad wreck of a Golden Hind bought at a local auction for around $25 US? It's very large (maybe 1/30 - see scale rule ) and appears very well built in the fashion of the Nineteen Sixties or before. Is it a scratch or is it a...
