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

Amami K?

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)

1794 - Joshua Humphreys appointed master builder to build Navy ships at an annual salary of $2,000.

1904 – The SS Norge runs aground and sinks
1970 - USS James Madison (SSBN-627) completes conversion to Poseidon missile capability

1813 - USS President anchors in Bergen, Norway

1905 - Battleship Potemkin uprising: sailors start a mutiny aboard the Battleship Potemkin, denouncing the crimes of autocracy, demanding liberty and an end to war.
1950 - To support U.N. call to assist South Korea, Truman authorizes U.S. naval and air operations south of 38th Parallel, Korea

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

That's the one. Well done, your turn mate.

Next clue is She sank in1941

Adrieke, Looking good mate. I do like the stair case.

Sparrow,

Great detail you're putting on your model and I like the colours you are using.

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.

Not the Yacht Corsair Michael.

No sorry there's one that takes more research. Built in 1919 at Cowes.

Next letter Danny

Not SS Coleraine.

Not the Ballymoney. Not any beginning with B

A big clue to help you find the ship.

Great to see some more progress on your ship.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JASON.
