Golden Hind ex Pelican by Angarfather - 1:36

[Angarfather]

 

I have started the next project, an elizabethanian galleon.

I use some plans I did find in two old german modeling books, Mondfeld, Historische Schiffsmodelle, a german classic from the early 70., and Stoeckel,Risse von Schiffen des 16. und 17. Jahrhunderts. Both authors showed very similar plans of an elizabethanian galleon, named Golden Hind or ex Pelican. It may be a model of Drakes Golden Hind. How Golden Hind looked exactly is unclear. But I like the plans, and they also seems quite right for the type Galeone of the english sailors in the time of queen Elizabeth Tudor.

 

Fist step was to modify the slipway. For the aligning of the frames on the keel plate I use a cross line laser

Great start Hartmut,

 

I'm happy to see another scratch build Golden Hind on this forum. The book "Risse von Schiffen des 16. und 17. Jahrhunderts" is indeed very helpful to build this ship.

I will follow your build

 

Michel looks like a friendly guard

Hello Hartmut,

the beginning of a nice project.
The slipway is already the right start.
Very good, I have to remember that.

[Ondras71]

Greetings. Very nice building, very nice scale. I watch everything with interest! O.

Hi Hartmut

 

I’ve just found your build log.  I hope that I can still get a front row seat, for what looks like another one of your masterpieces.  

 

I’ll definitely be following along.  

 

Cheers.

Aye, Mates,

 

many thanks for your kind interest in my new project.

 

I am building the hull in an unusual way. Instead of a first planking I glue in plywood between the bulkheads. Than I had to sand it into its shape. Here are some pics from this way.

This construction results in a very stable hull. Next. I'll plan the material for the wales, the keel and the deck beams. I still have a few pieces of mahagony that will work well for that. The planks I will make from pear.That can look pretty good together.

 

Cheers  Angarvater

Looks great.

The shape of the ship is already starting to become visible.

Great start Hartmut. Nice large scale for all the detail you'll be putting on the ship, as I suspect you will.

Yes, a rather unorthodox way prepping the hull for planking but you are right in that it will make a very stable and strong model.

Safe me a seat up front, okay.

 

Cheers,

Hi Hartmut

 

Whar a wonderful start you’ve made. The initial method may look unusual, but, what the heck, it’s the end result that matters!

 

Pls keep the updates coming

 

Cheers. 

 

Patrick

[Angarfather]

Thanks, guys for your  kind compliments!

 

Next steps was to make the keel, the stemson and the bob stay piece of the head. I have made the pieces from mahogany, planed with the thickness planer.

 

Next I make and bring in the walls.

 

 

 

 

 

Cheers Hartmut

Aye, Mates!

 

Many thanks for your kind words and all the likes.

 

The  last weeks was not so much time for modelling the Golden Hind. There had been many interesting job. Thats ok. Here are some pics from the last days.

To finsh the wales in the bow I first did mount the upper and the lower wale. After this I use spacer blocks to mount the bow part of the wale in the middle 

The last  wale piece

 

 

Next step was planking the space between the two lower wales and the stern.

 

 

 

 

 

Cheers!  Hartmut

Hello guys!

 

The summer 2018 was to warm to stay in the dockyard for modeling. It was a good time for barbecue, swimming and lazing around with old friends sitting in the garden enjoying an ice-cold beer. And last but not least there were to wunderfull journeys together with my admiral to the Lofoten islands in Norway and the Møn Island in Danmark.

 

In the last two weeks the planking was done. Here are some pics of the Golden Hind today.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Best regards

Welcome back, nice planking.

[Angarfather]

After finishing the out side planking I have made the planking of the main deck. The question was how wide the planks must be. The only binding information I found in the report of the wreck of the Mary Rose. Here is the  plank width 50cm. This corresponds to 15mm in scale 1:33.

After this I planked the inside of the main deck and cut in the gun ports.

 

Next job was to make the fore castle. There were quite a few parts to do. There are deck beams, mast tracks, anchor and foremast bitt and another hatch. An other question was how to paint the walls inside. Because I didn't find a research result I did paint teh walls with English Red.

But see yourself here are a few pics.

 

 

 

 

Cheers!!!

Lovely paint job. It makes her look like a very jolly ship.

[Angarfather]

Next job on the Golden Hind was to make the channels.

 

I have made it from 2,5 x 2,5 mm bras,

 

 

The gun port lids

For this parts I had to make a lot of parts

The parts of the hinges are from bras, burnished with Nerofor from Ballistol, a german Company

 

 

 

Cheers!

Next steps was to make the guns

At first I changed the brass into bronze by painting it with acrylic (old gold mixed with black)

 

And than the wooden parts.

Milling the side panels of the gun carriadges.

Side panels and other parts after cutting by band saw and sanding

 

First attempt

Making the  axis and the weels

 

The first finished gun

A board

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

At

At last for today I had to  modell 4 swivel guns for the stern. There were 4 guns from an older project. So it was easy to me to modify they into swivels.

 

 

Cheerio!
