Golden Hind by Rock_From_Korea - 1:48

For the quaterdeck entrace of GH2, I am keeping the basic design on GH1 - basically an open entrance with more covering on both sides.

I applied a different kind of ladder for the forecastle grating entrance. Also, unlike GH1, for GH2 I am applying structural enforcements along the midship area hull.

Gosh~ I did not realize that my last update was more than 6 months ago…

 

I did manage to do some work on GH2 during this period and will share below some progress pictures (and some comments when needed) on work streams where design and/or methodology differ significantly from GH1.

 

All the decks have been done in a similar way as in GH1, so no additional progress pictures are posted.

 

On GH2, I decided to go for a much simpler upper hull decoration, also giving some contrast to hull color vs. wale & decoration color. I used mainly thin ebony strips.

For stern painting, I commisioned my art student daughter to do 3 golden hind paintings. I chose one of them for GH2.

BTW, the smudges on the edge of the deer is my doing, not my daughter’s. I made stupid mistake while varnishing the stern picture.

 

For stern  balcony, I decided to apply a more streamlined and compact design as below.

 

 

The rail design of the bow area has been changed from GH1. All the subsequent rails will be done in this style.

I was looking through my 'following' list and wondered how the build was going. I knew it had been a while since your post. I didn't realize how long.

 

Great progess and looks fantastic.  

 

Hope to see more on this build.
