    I just wonder, if it wouldn't be more logical to start from the centre line and work outwards?

    I now have 5 planks on each side of the mast.
    And there comes central 1 in the middle, this plank will then be slightly wider than the other planks.

     

    My knowledge of the English language is not that good (Never learned it at school).

    So, Mr. Google says

    Since I am active on this forum my English knowledge has improved. But it looks if there are different ways to speak and write English.


    English english
    American English
    Australian English

     

    Is this correct ?

  2. Small update,

     

    Some PE parts have been used (leftovers of military modeling)

    Looking around this forum for different Bounty logs. It seems like there are different models. Every manufacturer of ship models has its own version.
    I go for this solution.

    When I remove the tape the edges are not as clear-cut as I hoped.

    There are different types of masking tape.
    For every surface there is a tape with a different adhesive strength. The blue tape of the 3M company (my employer) gave me the best results for this purpose.
    With only some small errors here and there that needs to be repainted afterwards (Scraping off with a knife and thereafter repainting)

    And, great work GL.

    Once again, you're doing a great service to an older kit. Great upgrades and fantastic photos, we can all learn from your example. I have to ask, in one of the photos in post #13 there is a ship in the background, what ship is that?

    My version of the Golden Hind.

     

  5. A month later. A small update,

    Further accessories are installed in the captain's cabin.
    Crates and small barrels (probably with the personal wine and beer supply of the captain ;))
    A wall rack for nautical charts etc , a mattress, pillows and bags are in progress

    I also tried to build 16th century buckets.
    My biggest problem was the  thickness of the side from the bucket.
    A bucket from Mary Rose served as an example

    After several failed attempts, I made something that comes close to the original 

    The start was an empty .22 LR casing (of course legally obtained according to Belgian law)
    These are too long, so first i saw tmem to size. IMG_20191008_183349.thumb.jpg.96fe040199e348c43f3c81f8aa158975.jpgIMG_20191008_192720.thumb.jpg.d27690ef750cef8df5385b3ba230e497.jpgA .22 short was better, but I don't have a license for that type of ammunition.

    The side of the bucket is made of plastic sheet

    This is glued around the casing with CA glue and a strap of plastic sprue is glued around the bucket

    Painting and weathering (and a SU76i that is almost finished)

    Apply a rope, and a batch of 9 is ready. Bucket N° 10 ended up as a scrap (The rope appears thicker on the photo than in reality)
