Greetings from Germany

[Cirdan]

Hello from Tübingen in the South of Germany,

i would like to introduce a friend's model here soon, but as i have never posted anything in this forum since my registration in December 2019 i should first introduce myself briefly. My name is Hartmut and i live in a small village near Tübingen. I‘m not a experienced modeller, my first and last model remained unfinished more than 20 years ago:





It is from a modified wooden Kit which i bought in 1983 (at the age of 15) and shows a small english Galleon. The Hull is built in the bread-and-butter system, the planking was added later. I hope to find my way into modelling again, but then with one of the new Kits.

Greetings,

Hartmut

Welcome on the forum, Hartmut! This model looks like an Elizabethan galleon, probably Golden Hind. And the model is very nicely done!

Welcome. Your galleon looks good even without all the rigging. When you start your next project be sure to start a build log. We love pictures.

Willkommen, Hartmut! Do you still have the rigging? I am in the process of my first build. Good modeling!

Hello Janos, yes, ist was a rather simple Kit of the Golden Hind by a czech company called Igra (can be found on ebay even today):

Do you still have the rigging?

Hello Vfordyce, at the moment i'm not planning to complete the model (for it is more than 20 years old), i would rather start a new project (i'm flirting with Shipyard's Papegojan as a training model to get back to model making).

Greetings,

Hartmut
