The five galleons set sail from Plymouth, England, on 13 December 1577, under the command of Francis Drake in his flagship Pelican. Before sailing through the Strait of Magellan, Drake renamed his ship the Golden Hind in honour of one of the expedition's benefactors, Sir Christopher Hatton, whose coat of arms bore a golden rope. The Golden Hind is most famous for its circumnavigation of the globe between 1577 and 1580. After a voyage of some 40,000 miles, Drake returned to England in 1580, laden with treasure and newly conquered territory. In 1581, Queen Elizabeth I personally knighted Drake aboard the Golden Hind.
These are building kits for beginning ship modelers, which are usually equipped with finished hull parts and a minimum of components. Although this is a model for beginning modelers, it is necessary to keep in mind that a certain manual skill of the builder and the ability to solve construction problems are assumed. The instructions determine the construction procedure, but cannot include the technology of material processing, the method of gluing, painting, sanding or varnishing. These are classic model making procedures that everyone performs according to their own capabilities and habits.
The model does not have an abundance of details, it is simpler, therefore significantly less laborious and time-consuming. Thanks to the simpler construction process, it should be assembled by an averagely skilled modeler or children in model-making clubs.
We recommend purchasing tools, glue and paints for construction.
To build ship models, you need the right tools. We recommend the excellent Modelcraft set of tools for ship modelers (set of 12) or the Modelcraft set of tools for modelers (set of 18). We also recommend purchasing nylon clamps and the indispensable model pins. We recommend a modeler's mat for trimming, precise cutting, gluing parts and also as a table protector.
For gluing we recommend universal dispersion glue and Robitronic instant glue medium 20ml. For painting we recommend acrylic enamel paints. Apply paints with quality brushes (flat brushes for surfaces, round brushes for details).
