Ratch Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Here's my rather crude rendition of Airfix's 1/72 Golden Hind. Built basically OOB. I added period sailors by RedBox. The flags are painted foil and the seascape was reclaimed from a previous piece.

fatfingers Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Aye up Ratch, Can't see anything crude about it. The figures and sea really add life to the model. Very nicely done sir. Regards, Steve 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bugle07 Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Really like this, she looks busy in just the right way. And the sea looks spot on! Well done. Geoff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul J Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Very nice. Coincidentally I just got back from a few days down West and visited a National Trust property, Buckland Abbey, the other day while down in Devon/Cornwall where there is a Francis Drake exhibition going on with artefacts and stuff. Found out it was his home. Worth a visit if you are in the area. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wombat Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Buckland isn’t too far from brixham where the 1:1 scale replica is. Not very authentic but good fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
