Hi Friends

Needed opinion of the sets of Mamoli.
I found the instructions set Golden Hind, is pretty details , but if you believe her ???
Unknown this company completely.

I have four different plans for rigging Golden Hind , the similarity of 30% , of such plans one can only wipe .................

That's the problem with old ships where you don't have sources. Mamoli is quite popular, but I've never made their models so cannot say anything about the quality.
You will not find perfect rigging source about Golden Hind, like in case of many other old ships. Make it as a standard for English galleons of that era.

Hi Henryk

I built a lot of wood kits before I switched to paper, so maybe I can give you some advise.

I don't know which manufacturer has the most authentic Golden Hind model. But I do know that Mamoli has very good building plans. Very detailed, especially regarding the masts and rigging. The text that comes with the drawing is badly translated from italian, but is still useful.

Can you tell me where your other plans are from?

Onde thing you should never do is to combine different plans as base for your model. It is a guarantee for disaster somewhere during the build

Thank you Tomek

I do not count on a good source , but the maximum similarity plans , even at this level there is a problem.

Hi Arjan68

description Mamoli Golden Hind came by chance on the page shown below, my latest find, hence the question of Mamoli.

Golden Hind plans

Now I start again checking the plans.

Arjan68, your absolutely right. Joining plans is not a good idea. Henryk, take one plan and THE ONLY ONE (let it be Mamoli's one). Or make your own reconstruction according to your knowledge and other sources like good books.

For me it would be an easy choice. The Mamoli plans are the only ones with enough details to build a good paper model.

The other three are from plastic kits and lack a lot of details

I found an other interesting site: it contains drawings and pictures of the golden hind from a lot of different sources. But most important it also contains line plans that you need to make the right shape of the hull

Hi

I was poorly understood

I do not intend to connect several plans , but I am looking for maximum similarity of plans, such action can filter out the bizarre simplifying applicable in practice.

Time for tedious gluing shrouds, blocks binding etc.

Lovely Henryk.
The Platforms on the masts with the rigging are wonderful.

Hi , Thank you, Mike

Not everything went as it should, my parallax error made during its binding shrouds platforms. It should be tied down.
When binding the entire the hull was heavily lay on his side, I noticed an error when I finished the starboard side.
