flint_sky Posted August 2, 2020 Share #1 Posted August 2, 2020 Hello. It is all started in 1990 when I got a magazine with paper model of Golden Hind in it. I never succeeded to build it then. Finally now I do it from wood, not paper.... This is my second model ship from wood I did the hull. Next is rigging.

Bill Morrison Posted August 2, 2020 Share #2 Posted August 2, 2020 Beautiful work so far! I do have one question concerning the forecastle bulwarks, though. Your model has them as solid structures but I have always seen them as opened, with the railing supported by pillars. Should the dark wood between the painted pillars be cut out? For example, look at the row above the green and white triangular markings. I wonder if the seven lighter and narrower vertical and slightly slanted areas are actually pillars or posts that support the red and white striped railing?

md1400cs Posted August 2, 2020 Share #3 Posted August 2, 2020 Flint, Nice second build. Your hull planking looks great as well. Will grab a seat.

flint_sky Posted August 3, 2020 Author Share #4 Posted August 3, 2020 Bill. According to the kits manual it is supposed to be like this. But I was thinking to make openings not only on forecastle but all ship where are railings. I don't have mats to do this, that's why I left it as it is. to cut openings in railings is not for me I will ruin everything there )) in my opinion the scale is not right it says 1:53 but in reality I think it is about 1:80-100. I would trim all that parts completely and build a new railings on top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Yes, There is a build log of the Mamoli GH here somewhere on this forum The builder also opened these holes later in the build.

flint_sky Posted August 9, 2020 Author Share #8 Posted August 9, 2020 I did the sails. Still hesitating about to put them or not...... What do you think??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussR Posted August 10, 2020 Share #9 Posted August 10, 2020 These sails are typical of the kit supplied sails. Compare these to the panel sails that Cathead makes for his models described here: Or the paper sails made by rwiederrich in this thread: You have done a great job and spent a lot of time on your model, don't short change it with these crappy kit supplied sails. Of course the choice is yours.
