Welcome to MSW and greetings from Belgium

Welcome on the build of Revell's Bounty scale 1/110
I got this kit for free from friends who cleaned up their attic.
My first idea when I opened the box. Was oops ....
On closer examination, it turned out that the model design probably dates from 1956. The mold is from 1978. Therefore the "lesser quality" of the details to current standards.
First, i wanted to throw everything away. But it had some trouble with this idea.
So why not start on it and try to add some extra details.
This will not be an exact copy. My biggest challenge to make this model a bit nicer than what can be made with the contents of the kit. I am not going to buy extra parts, only items and plastic sheet from the parts box will be used.
My only experience with plastic ship models dates from my younger years. I have only experience with military models in scale 1/72
So we shall what the future brings.
Main goals are : making of a good model and have fun.

the deck is equipped with molded on details. Removing all this and making them new is impossible. That's why I make a new deck first
Engrave the deckplanks on plastic sheet
Add hatches and "grating" (This grating may be replaced later by something else)
Opening for a ladder. I dont throw plastic leftover parts away ....
A first test to see if the deck fits. and... it fits
With 2 Bradley's in the background
to be continued, thanks for following.

Nice work. And the gratings are indeed a very good idea.

You can use the individual tracks as spare tracks. These were often attached to the front or the side. These served also as extra armor.
If you want to do this. let me know. Then I post some pictures.Sorry you had some problems with the teeth on your sprockets

Thank you G.L.
There will certainly be enough toothpicks left for the holidays.
Steve,
Thanks for the comment
I certainly will not make a puzzle of it like the examples shown. The Golden Hind was probably not a real warship, but an armed merchantman.
Specially built or rebuilt for this trip. Nobody knows that.Of course there will have been nicely planked decks then, and others will have been "less nicely".
With the intention of my saying, no rules. I want to say :
Nicely planked or with all possible leftovers planked. No one can say what is right or wrong for this period. All evidence is indeed at the bottom of the sea.As you can see, I keep the planking as neat as possible.
Interesting topic

That is more something like a man castle .

Thank you,
In the meantime, a cautious start has been made with the fitting of bolts. These must be carefully sanded later
And an attempt to imitate the "nails and planks"
"bolts and nails" are made of stretched spreu
