  1. Thanks Anja, I'm looking for my stash of sand paper at the moment, but might have to go out on a shopping run. Could be expensive
  2. Hi Guys thanks for the replies, I'm going to try and resist (It's been one day already) I know I'll probably get to some tedious part of the Bounty and get distracted. But for now it stays in the box. (with the lid firmly Open Lol)

  5. Just start my Bounty and this turns up at the front door today. I won it in the One Eyed Willy's Treasure Hunt in the May edition of the MSB Journal. So tempted to start, but must resist
  6. That's the one. Well done, your turn mate.
  7. Well I thought it was about time for me to start my Bounty build. All my drawings and instructions are for a model with a split false keel, but mine came as one piece so I must have a newer or older kit. Not sure which. :mellow: So far I’ve put the frames, reinforcements, False lower deck and the stern reinforcements onto the false keel and attached the deck to give it all strength. Next I get to do a lot of sanding I guess, and fair all the frames.
  8. No sorry there's one that takes more research. Built in 1919 at Cowes.
