Hi Paul First there is no such thing as bad humor IMHO. The only thing the Dog had done to him was to be fed lots of biccy's to show him it wasn't his fault, because he thought he had done something wrong As for the Occre Bounty you are halfway there, i have got the Occre Endeavour

What else can you do but accept it and move on. Worrying about it won't make it any better so i don't. smile and move on I made the mistake of thinking you can play with your dog in the same place as a wooden kit My fault not his

Hi Capt Fisher As you requested a pic of the star of this story :D Don't tell him i posted this or else he will think he's a media star :P

Hi Mr Pucko Yes you mean the part that has the 2mm x 5mm Strips glued on to it, so the wedge can move back and forth. I will try it out with 1mm x 5 mm strips before final assembly Thanks for your input One other thing i am going to look into changing is the Gun Port covers they are far too thick

Hi Paul Yes there are a lot of differences and mistakes on both the booklet and the plan. But like you a bit of lateral thinking soon sorts it all out

Thanks Mr Pucko I will check it out before final assembly. I am working from the booklet mostly and only use the plan sheet for double checking anything I'm not sure of because the plan sheets are older. Probably the same ones that Mantua made before Panart changed some of it. But there are still loads of errors in both the plans and booklet

For me to buy another AL kit i would have to be able to view the contents before purchasing, because of all the bad timber in the kit i had. And i know others have had bad timber in theirs also I have always had the attitude of worrying about it won't change anything so i don't

Hi Paul Will test everything once i have the parts built up. In the instructions the hatch covers do not look like they are in the same position on the upper and lower decks, to me this is incorrect but i will see better once i get to that stage and adjust everything as needed (hopefully lol)

It's a ship in a bin.....similar to a ship in a bottle but on a larger scale

Hi Per Bounty is beyond resurrection in fact it's already in the the rubbish bin lol Thanks for the concern for me and my dog, he is fine apart from thinking he had done something wrong which he hadn't, but lots of biscuits sorted that out As for me i moved on and forgot it within 5 minutes, i did think of setting fire to it and pretending it was a replica of the Bounty when they left it at Pitcairn :D
-
Thanks Paul. I am going to add simulated tree nails to the hull inside and out but not to the extent i have seen some have been done, too much looks like overkill IMHO Also i am planing on placing the bits central to the hatchways if possible looks odd the way the instructions want it to go

Hi EJ, what you see is all kit wood and the quality is great. The only wood i am planning on adding myself is to the exposed beams and frames at the end of the build. I am going to add 0.5 x 6mm Lime over each exposed beam and frame then painting them white. This should give me a better finish rather than painting over the exposed ply edges. Thanks for noticing i had not added the simulated tree nails around the sides of the coamings, i had forgotton to add them but better to find out now than to remember when the top deck is partially planked The tree nails are indented and i use this to make the hole, then i use the point of a pencil to darken it and make it slightly wider Tree nails duly added (thanks to you ) The holes are a bit closer in the last photo but the camera angle makes them look more closer than they are.
