    update Both hull halves are glued together with the deck. All molded on details on the inside are first sanded away. The round cannon ports are made square and all holes in the hull that are not needed are closed. The outside of the hull is now being cleaned up. Thanks for following

    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. Info about the ship and voyage https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Bounty Royal museum Greenwich https://prints.rmg.co.uk/search?q=bounty&type=product Info about the Revell model https://www.revell.de/en/products/modelmaking/ships/sailings-ships/h-m-s-bounty.html 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.

    I once had a Nissan Bleubird, with some "extra options" on it. Has brought me everywhere without problems for 14 years long. Happy new year to you and everyone here.

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

    Beautifully made xylokastra Steven Very well executed.

    Nice work Katsumoto, I'm glad that my idea helped you with your build

    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

    Indeed Your Vasa drawing (above) and the Mary Rose deck (below)

    Thank you Lawrence and Carl. In the meantime, I found a solution to make the drains for the deck. One has been done as a test. Source San Juan Whale ship.

    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 . Greetings Patrick

    great work Doris You are not only handy with card and other materials, but also with electricity. happy holidays from Belgium

    Nice model

    Hello, Started with planking of the deck General rules in 16th century deck planking : there are no rules, use all your wooden planks that you have left ... and is the deck waterproof, then it is good. some examples I also made a ladder. This will be glued on the model when the anchor cable is in place. The original planks were probaly nailed and the head of the nail was caulced. Planks are provided with treenails ( the caulcing) in advance and have already been colored once before glueing on to the model. Work in progress The third box of toothpicks.... Thanks for following and merry christmas
  22. Baker
    Well done and merry christmas
  23. Baker
    Well done. Much extra work, but the model looks much better now.
  24. Baker
    Very nicely done. Greetings Patrick
