    Thanks Apxeos. Someone who has built more than 1400 military models. Is probably "a tankman". In the meantime this shipyard has been neglected in function of my little Bounty project. The only thing that happened the last months : The poop deck is largely planked and the LED lighting has been tested. Also, Through these months of silence at this shipyard. I'm thinking about changing the title of this log. Given the fact that making an exact copy of the Golden Hind is impossible. It might be better to delete this name from the title. Maybe "Pelican"- scale 1/45 - How an English armed merchant merchant from the 2nd half of the 16th century may have looked like. Merry Christmas and a happy 2020 to everyone

    Great work Despite all the luxury, Fluffy looks a little bit angry. A dog has masters A cat has servants Me and my wife are also the servants of a cat

    The text on the hull of this model RAST . V . TER . WAPEN . GHY . CHRISTEN . SCHAPEN . WILT . STRYT . BEGINNEN ???? U TER WAPEN GIJ KRISTEN SCHAPEN WIL STRIJD BEGINNEN Something like : CHRISTIANS, AT ARMS. IF YOU WANT TO START THE BATTLE ( In my poor google english..) I expect the same problem with my Pelican /Golden Hind

    Rigging the cannnons, the helm and the anchor cables on the deck . Cannon rigging in a 1/110 scale... Stressful to me (in my opinion) it took me more then 1 hour for each cannon. The helm anchor cabels. To get these flat on the deck they are glued on deck with ca glue. Carefully applied to a toothpick. Thanks for following

    Nice work. Always pleasant to see a 16th century model with the fore mast in front of the fore castle.

    Ab, Then we have the same opinion about this book

    Thank you for these fantastic updates

    Great work markus. Very interesting build. A question to Ab This plan is included in the book "Risse von schiffen des 16. und 17 jahrhunderts" If I look at the plans of Golden Hind that are also included, they don't look really reliable. Am I right?
  12. Baker
    There is not much (reliable) information about galleons in the 16th century. Simply because little was documented at that time. Maybe this book helps

    G.L. Hoed af voor uw technisch tekenen (I take my hat off for your drawing skills). Druxey, Thanks for the warning

    Painting and weathering of the hull. Painting the ded eyes and chains matt black washings with diluted light gray, some rust on the chains and a dry brushing of dark gray on the ded eyes. Given that the entire hull and deck are "weathered", the copper sheeting cannot be look new either. So, how does weathered red copper look like? No idea at first, then I remembered some rounds of ammunition that I once found near the house where I grew up. To make a small river deeper, mud had been dug out, and there lay a clip with 5 rounds Presumably remains of WW 1 or 2. Felix has no idea what's going on At first sight, It looks pretty much the same For now I leave the collor this way used paints : White wash And 3 green collors Cannons are glued on the deck A plastic plate is glued to the bottom. This is so the cannon is glued with the plate and not with the wheels on the deck. That way you won't see any glue residue on the deck. Hull painted Thanks for following

    The fewer errors remain in your first layer. The easier it will be to apply your 2nd layer. It seems like a lot of unnecessary work now, but I don't think you will regret having done it

    Very nice little cannons Steven. Acetone should work best.

    A model kit of a bird, never seen this before. Nice work I'm bored. You can always send the bird to me. Greetings, Felix

    Nice deck planking. You have one more follower. You can always add extra "nails" If you do this with a pencil then this is not much extra work Greetings, Patrick

    I just viewed your build a second time. Very educational. This is a model that really looks like an early galleon. Since the start of my Golden Hind, i have read a lot and did a lot of research for ships from this period. Have you ever encountered this on the internet? Not a real Spanish Galleon, but a Spanish whaler. Very interesting http://www.patrimoniocultural.gov.pt/media/uploads/trabalhosdearqueologia/18/22.pdf http://www.albaola.com/en/site/building-process https://www.flickr.com/photos/albaola/albums/72157648353383884

    The dead eyes. I had 3 options : The one from the kit (bad idea). Buy new ones (cheating). Or, make them myself. A first prototype is made. (On this photo (left of the dedeye) is an error. One support of the railing is too short, this has now been restored) Making discs and glue them together (3 discs for each dedey). Drilling holes 0.7 mm and attach iron wire to them. And place them on the channels. Made some stretched sprue for the extra details. All dedeyes on the channels are ready Now the hull can be painted. Work in progress. Thanks for following

    Thanks for the nice comments and likes. Building the 4 cannons. Drilling out the barrels Rebuilding the carriages Ready for painting. Carriages are in red, the barrels are mat black and pencil. ready, not glued on the deck.

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
