Steve 12345 Posted July 23, 2017 Author Share #271 Posted July 23, 2017 Hello all and welcome back to my penultimate post on HMS Bounty another milestone reached is completion of the running rigging I thank you guys for the suggestions on the stay line distortion issue I had I stiffened the line with the white glue and water mix and played about and redone the lines several times Im know going to conclude I believe some distortion is normal maybe not so much on the real ship but it is just rope and any pulling on it at all will of course distort it so I think I can live with that . We still ofcourse haven't reached completion there still remains my achilles heal on this ship, the ships boat and rope coils with completion of the running rigging I am now going to let myself begin the rc aeroplane build but your can be dam sure ill be back with a ships boat and rope coils to claim my sought after FINISHED badge in the title so with some sadness the shipyard is deconstructed and now converted to a hangar until then thanks guys for viewing liking and commenting steve GrantGoodale, Robin Lous, BenD and 13 others 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fernando E Posted July 23, 2017 Share #272 Posted July 23, 2017 Hi Steve, many thanks for your posts and as I've said before, I've picked up a number of very useful ideas and suggestions when looking at your superb work....will make my Norfolk build much easier and hopefully look as professional as yours. I look forward to seeing your "finished" Bounty and all the best on your r c build.

reklein Posted July 24, 2017 Share #276 Posted July 24, 2017 Nice work Steve. You're gonna love building and flying that cub. Friends of mine built it years ago and it was really fun to watch flying around low and slow.

killickthere Posted November 24, 2017 Share #283 Posted November 24, 2017 WOW what a beautiful build Steve. It is truly inspiring. I am in the middle of building the Oseberg ship and have already purchased the Bounty launch to get my feet wet in POF building. And just started the book buy Caroline Alexander on the Bounty. My thoughts are now moving to this kit! Great job Sir. popeye the sailor, Steve 12345 and EJ_L 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mae Posted April 25, 2022 Share #292 Posted April 25, 2022 Hi, I made a Billing Boats HMS Bounty way back in the late 70s. It has stood in pride of place ever since. Unfortunately, l have never enclosed it in a case, so it looks a bit tired now. The time has come for me to find a new home for it. Can you advise me if there is a market for these Boats, & if so, who will have them? Steve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
