Golden Hind -1578 -by Knocklouder-Airfix - 1:72 - PLASTIC -

Last year before my uncle passed away he had bought me a this model.  He never had a chance to send it, my antie sent it to me earlier this year.  I looked at it, and decided to put it in the stach , thinking  some day maybe,  I have been modeling for four years now, mainly  wooden kits. And for the most part I have been having the time of my life,   learning how too build and  to tie rigging was and is the one of the  most rewarding thingI did for myself.  From my first attempt  making the Santa Maria  from Amati  and my first posts I was hooked, @Louie da fly told me back then the my first  planking looked like Roo Doo, , lol actually  he said I should re do my planking, it was pretty bad lol. . He provide me with information about planking,  and directed me to MSW Data base, and I have been trying to learn how to plank ever scence.   Rigging is a different story, I love it, don't know why  but ratlines are my favorite.  

Building and rigging is  a lot of fun, if you have instructions,  I love  kit Building  but bad instructions are the worst, that is why it will come as no" Surprise " which model I buy next.

  But in the mean time,  the lack  of instructions  and the most enoying  rigging diagrams  I have ever seen, I find myself  needing a break, and  Building  a plastic  ship that look fairly easy to glue together and  a very complicated  paint job that will give me a lot of enjoyment  learning how to paint it.  I have been painting for over 50 years, but never an airbrush,  and the model paint is some what different,  and the brushes are very  very small lol. I now have a brush that has only three hairs on it for painting eyes on figures  😳. 

 So, Step one, the stand and hull. Next step two add a few more pieces,  then start painting. 

 Looking at the logs for this ship , and  I have booked  marked 4 so far I am sure there is more but I read slow.  . Ok opening  statement  out of the way, time to learn about the Hind, one thing  so far no one knows what' colors she  was.

 Looking forward to learning about this ship,.

 Thanks for looking in,
