Airfix-Golden Hind-1:72 - Bobby k

My uncle bought this model for me just before he passed away last year, my auntie sent it to me this year. I have build eight ship so far all wood. This will be my first plastic ship.


On the 19th of this month I started , first thing was to prime everything.

Sorry still new to the form and have trouble working my computer lol.
The second thing I had to do was decide on how to paint this ship. The paint instructions are not clear but I can figure it out. Mostly by looking at the box and painting it like the box.






It is all painting,, glue a few things together then paint and paint. I am to the point that I just have the white to paint, the triangles are pretty hard to do I shake to much, wow never notice I shook so bad till I started painting those triangles lol.






So the painting continues, the hull is just about done, have only the white left on both sides, I painted this all free hand as you can see, lol. It looks good to me and I am only building for the fun the hobby brings, and boy am I having fun.
Well that's my Golden Hind, more painting tomorrow and probably the day after that. Lol. Thanks for looking in.

Great day in the shipyard, finished painting the hull, made and painted the anchors and painted the sign. Up next will be the channales and deadeyes. I am really glad the triangles are finished, shakey work but passable.



Coming along nicely, time to start thinking about the sails . I should be able to do the shrouds and a few ratlines by the end of the week .
Well that's my boat hope you like it.
