Louie da fly Posted October 16, 2020 #3 Posted October 16, 2020 Hi Bosco, The page on how to post a log is here: The reason for Old Collingwood's question is probably that the section on kit logs is divided into time periods - starting with "up to and including 1500 AD' and working up from there to present time. Choose the one that's appropriate to your own build. And welcome to MSW. I'd second OC's curiosity - what model are you building? mtaylor, bosco72, Chuck Seiler and 3 others 6 It's not really a ship model unless you've bled on it.

Louie da fly Posted October 16, 2020 #7 Posted October 16, 2020 There's a completed Airfix Golden Hind build log which might be of use to you . . . And if you put "Golden Hind" in the search bar (top right of the page) you'll find other builds - some non-Airfix kits, and at least one scratch build - they could be helpful in sorting out details. As you probably know, nobody knows what the ship really looked like. All the kits and reconstructions are "best guess" based on the information available from the time. You might in particular like to look at Backer's scratch build - a lot of valuable research information in that one (as well as a brilliantly realised model).

bosco72 Posted October 16, 2020 Author #8 Posted October 16, 2020 If I wanted to post images of my progress for ideas and feedback, do I have to find a 3rd party host and post the link or does this forum have that functionality built in? Thank. Old Collingwood, mtaylor and Ryland Craze 3
