The start of this model was sometime in 2016.
After building Billing's Vasa, I wanted to make a scratch model. The choice fell on the Golden Hind; the intention was to make a perfect copy. Little did I know then that this would turn out to be an impossible task. The name of the build log soon changed to "Pelican".
If I were to do it over, it would be without the cabin under the poop deck and without the balustrade at the stern.
These are many photos that need to be sorted through and resized. And given that the original text has disappeared in the MSW crash, it will take a while to rebuild everything.
The finished model in 2022
Some drawings of what the ship might have looked like.
Initially, the idea was to use the Aeropiccolo plans.
Which were later adapted to a narrower version, with the guns below deck.
