    Nice planking Michael 👍

    Good idea. I have also used white wire for this application on my Vasa. That was a really bad idea

    a few questions The yard of the mizzen sail. Should it stay on top (for some dark reason the photo is always upside down) May this go lower at the bottom of the mast 2. fore mast, lower sail. white lines On many kit models (and the Beagle replica) these ropes go to the cathead. Weird, I thought the cathead was just for the anchors. red, yellow lines Could this be a better solution. red is a wooden "stick, yard, mast?" and yellow are the ropes Rigging continues Discovered that treating the ropes with diluted matte black gives a positive result. And there are too few belaying pins in all the right places, and too much in the wrong places Thanks for following

    Nice blocks, thanks. I had about the same idea ( also with holes 0.7 diameter). But it's not yet what I really want.

    Actually, our good friend has experienced the pros and cons of Covid. Good, he can now sit inside the house every day. Not good, he had symptoms for one day but is now healthy again.

    For the blocks I am happy that I have never thrown away the old blocks from Heller's SR. They are actually too big for the Revell Bounty, but for my application they are quite ok. I have already thought about how to make small blocks, without success for the time being. When I see how you can make such detailed parts on such a small scale. then making small blocks should be no problem for you . As stated in post 1. the whole box ended almost immediately in the waste bin 😳 First, i wanted to throw everything away. But it had some trouble with this idea. Main goals are : making of a good model and have fun.

    Rigging continues slowly. Lots of free time now, so I do an update faster than usual Made a sketch to have an idea of which wire should go where. And now and then a corona break, with wife and cat on the couch. The cat doesn't mind Thanks for following

    Looking for a second time. indeed not on the right track. Planking is a complicated thing, especially at the bow. I also had problems with it the first time, and probably also the next times.

    More work than prescribed by the manufacturer. But so much nicer and more accurately executed. congrats to you Rodolfo

    Looks good I think you're on the right (planking) track
  13. Baker
    I have full confidence in you for a successful finish👍

    Thank you everyone for the good wishes, this is much appreciated. Tired quickly but otherwise only slight symptoms. My wife got it too (from me) she has the same symptoms with a few days delay The strange thing is that food no longer tastes like it used to, everything tastes pale (also with extra pepper added 🥵 🤧) In the meantime, the rigging continues. Lots of free time now. The extra wire supplied by Revell is thicker and used on the lower (heavier) yards. evanals de blocks (from the SR van Heller). The thinner original thread is for the lighter yards and I will probably have to make smaller blocks for them. Some rigging done, a lot of rigging to be done. There are several Bounty models and buildlogs on this site. Kits and scratchmodels (and there are sometimes differences in these models). To have a general idea of the rigging I usually look at this site. Easy to view for me. all photos are on 1 page https://www.modelships.de/Bounty/Photos-HMS-Bounty_details.htm Thanks for following, comments and likes

    Thanks everyone. We have been very careful since March this year. You can't enter my workplace (factory) without a temperature control. Disinfect everything, mouth masks, etc. And yet infected at work. Advice from Backer : If possible, avoid all unnecessary contact. corona can be everywhere

    And received 2 things today. a good A few weeks ago I asked through the Revell website if I couldn't buy extra rope from them. For the extra finishing of the Bounty A reply came pretty quickly that they were going to send this. And today, a package (And without a bill attached) a bad I received a positive result about my corona test 😷 Fortunately, the symptoms are mild and hopefully soon forgotten. So a lot of free time for rigging. But I am tired quickly

    the "tissue" is from a roll of paper used in factories,garages. To dry hands after washing, clean up oil or dirt, ect. low quality paper, but suited for furled sails.
  23. Baker
    Smal update The sails are finished and i started with the rigging. The aim is to apply as much rigging as possible. Since I am not an expert in 18th century rigging, there may be something here and there that is not entirely correcty Thanks for following

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal.
