Love the sails - how did you get the sail artwork to be so crisp on the cloth? 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete 1 Posted September 15, 2021 Share #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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamuck Posted October 22, 2022 Share #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 Bill Morrison and Robert Taylor 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Bill97 Posted September 6, 2023 Share #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.
