Golden Hind 1577 by goemon - 1:150

[goemon]

I make a reduced version of 1/150 size the  Golden Hind from  Aeropicola, which I bought 40 years ago.

 

I have reduced the size of the drawing to 1/3 size.

 

Since it is a small size, it will be a solid model base.

I made cross-sections at intervals of 13 mm from the drawing of the bulkhead.  ( I only have 13mm of material )

It was cut out with a saw and adhered according to the cross section.

The pattern was made from cardboard from the bulkhead drawing, and the sides of the hull were trimmed accordingly.

The keel was made of 2mm thick walnut and the upper side plate was made of 0.8mm thick plywood.

Make a 2mm keel groove on the bottom of the ship.

I glued 0.5x2mm Tanganyika wood to the deck.

0.8mm plywood deck glued to the bow and stern, and keel glued to the bottom.

 

The side plate was glued and the hull part was trimmed by 1 mm so that it was flush.

The gun gate was opened in the upper side plate, and the hull part was carved a little and painted black.

I glued a 0.5x3mm walnut to the cabin wallboard.

The size of the hull is 20 cm.

Nice work, Goemon. That's going to be a very attractive model.

Thanks Steven.

 

・Planking

0.5x3mm walnut is lined on the hull.

Since the hull is small, I could attach it immediately.

The walnut board is so thin that it can't be sanded much.

I made a boat stand.

I painted it with a brush.

In my case, paints with low hiding power, such as white and yellow, are painted with an airbrush, but since the range of painting is small, it is best to paint with a brush.

I'm a Japanese who is not good at English, so it's been a while since I last updated.

You're doing a very good job on this, Goemon. It's becoming a very attractive (and beautifully detailed) model.

Super nice custom build Goemon!
Did you take anymore photos of it in later stages like the rigging?
