Ian_Grant Posted August 4, 2020 #18 Posted August 4, 2020 Very nice! Love the sails - how did you get the sail artwork to be so crisp on the cloth? Quote
Bill Morrison Posted August 4, 2020 #19 Posted August 4, 2020 Excellent job! Did you sew the sails yourself or are they commercially available after-market products? Bill Quote

This set of Sails I actually bought separately, albeit they are expensive, about the same price as the kit itself. I only bought them because they were printed with the Elizabethan designs. Unless I can get printed Sails for other kits I have, I will make my own sails in future. rkwz 1 Quote
Pete 1 Posted September 15, 2021 #21 Posted September 15, 2021 Hi Robert, Great Build of Golden Hind, Could you please tell me what size rigging blocks you used and where i could purchase them from. TIA, Pete Robert Taylor 1 Quote
jamuck Posted October 22, 2022 #22 Posted October 22, 2022 Very good work. I intend starting on this model soon. Can I ask did you paint the 'wood' of hull, masts etc or leave as the moulded colour. James Robert Taylor and Bill Morrison 2 Quote

TIA, Pete Hi Pete First of all Deepest apologies for the waiting so long for am answer. I am not sure how this MSW system works as I haven't had a notification as to your question as I have been on here several times since your question. If I remember right I used a mix between 3cm and 5mm blocks mostly 3mm, these I purchase from "Cornwall Model Boats" a company here in the UK which I thoroughly recommend as they have an extensive range of kits, fittings and accessories for kit building. Hope this helps Pete All the best Robert Quote

James Hi James I painted the wood of the Hull on my Golden Hind I used Revell's Matt 85 Brown which actually comes out a lovely Golden brown colour. Hope this helps James All the best Robert. jamuck 1 Quote
Bill97 Posted September 6, 2023 #25 Posted September 6, 2023 Hello Robert. I have from time to time read through your Golden Hinde build. I have this exact Airfix kit in my stash. Got it as a gift a few years ago. During the time I have worked on my two larger ships the Heller HMS Victory and Le Soleil Royal I often think about taking a short break and tinkering with the Golden Hinde on another work bench. It is a beautiful ship and you have done an excellent job with the Airfix kit, especially your sails. I will definitely refer to your build when I build mine. Robert Taylor 1 Quote
