    Thank you all for following and comments. It was a productive weekend. Wood has been sawn so that I can continue to build. Further i thought about stairs to the underlying deck. And discovered that on some plans no stairs are provided at all. Forget something? A mistake? Fortunately there is something provided on "my" Golden Hind Thanks for following

    Hello everybody @Carl : Have it asked at Jan. We have the same opinion. @ Marcus and Steven : Thanks for the comments. After installing the rudder are all deck beams in place. And i started with the holes for the hatches. The width is approximately 120 cm (about 4 feet) on scale 1/1 Work in progress A first test to see what it will look like. The thickness of these deckplanks will not be visible later I make it too thick, this will give extra strength to the deck Further finishing, the deck beam in the center of the hatch will later be removed later on To be able to lift the anchor there must be a capstan on this deck. The capstan is build very basic. And is placed at the only place where there is still enough room left . Thanks for following

    Start a build log. This is always interesting and helpful.

    When I look at your picture, you can indeed do a lot with this wood. Handy (scrap) marker for the waterline Nice work

    Attach the rudder to the stern. Making hinges. The plastic hinges will be a weak point. To fix this, copper pins of diameter 1mm are placed. Holes are drilled in the stern at the right place. A knock with the hammer, and the rudder is well fixed. This will not come loose anymore. Finish the hinges A light layer of metal paint is first applied under the white layer. The upper hinge is painted black. Bolts are attached on the helm. Painting on the bottom in white and after some polishing and dry brushing the rudder is ready. I do not find any paintings or drawings from this period with chains or ropes attached to the rudder. These will therefore not be applied. Thanks for following

    Hello everyone, Thanks Ondras for the compliment. Back from vacation and returned to the shipyard. The rudder and helm are sanded and in the right shape. The upper part is collored and the lower part has a first light coat of white paint. Now further details are made. I started with the hinges, as always in plastic. I would rather have made them in metal. But after a eye surgery, I have trouble viewing small metal objects under a lamp. All metal parts shines so brightly that I do not see what I do. Before folding the plastic, it is treated with thin plastic glue. This makes the plastic soft and bends easily. Gluing on the wood is with CA glue Thanks for following

    Does indeed look like a simple model to build and with clear assembly instructions. Also with enough extra detail. Maybe a good model as a first build ? A pleasant awakening for me when I read this. At half past six in the morning (in this part of world) 😪💤

    Thanks Lawrence I started with the rudder. Nobody knows if the Golden Hind had a whipstaff or not. They came into use somewhere in the second half of the 16th century. so adding one is not completely incorrect. The rudder is made of 3 pieces of wood. The helm. I find 2 ways to attach the helm to the rudder. The helm passes through the rudder. Or the helm goes around the rudder Possibilily 1 is apparently from a later period, from the beginning of the 17th century. Possibility 2 seems to be the most common during this period. So this it will be. about in the right shape and bent. My roughly made rudder with the helm. Still a lot of sanding and detailing to do. Thanks for following

    Hello, Because of the exceptional warm weather in this part of the world and other urgent matters that came first, there is little progress to report. But in the meantime I have succeeded in placing the LED lighting. The quality of this work can be much better. But, once the deck is fully placed above it, little of this will be visible. The LED lighting is purchased just after Christmas and New Year. Then there is sale, 40 LED lights with battery holder for about 2 euros ($ 3?) The lanterns are made of plastic sheet. Where the lighting remains visible, lanterns have been placed. Not at other places. a first "prototype" There is still room enough to place the deckplanks above the lantern visibility through the cannon ports I do not think that in the 16th century there was one ship with so much lanters below deck as on my model .... Thanks for following and reacting (the like button is now a reacting button, i noticed 👍😉).

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.
