Where can you find the right information (my idea)

Books: I never trust them blindly
Replicas: are usually "full of errors"
Internet: anyone can post anything here

The remains of the one and only original example of the Bounty is located somewhere near an island far away from here.
Considering no one bothered to take detailed photos then. We do not have a "walk around" book available.

This build is relaxation for me, if a certain color is not right or a rope is knotted incorrectly
so be it.

I did checked some Bounty models and also a couple of pictures of the sailing replica of Bounty. The wooden sticks which exists on Victory doesnt found on Bounty, despite the fact that they are from the same era. Seemingly the solution vary for each ship.

I found another model with this application (Some of us will recognize the photo). A very beautiful model !!

Whether this is the correct way or not, this is the most elegant and logical solution.

The bamboo plant stick, thinned down to size.

and in  place on the model (with the smaller Revell blocks)

free advice

Normally the standing rigging is done first (black wire) That is the wire that keeps the masts in place.

Then the running rigging (natural wire color) That is the wire that the yards and sails operate

Nice painting on the figures 

Thanks to all for the rigging info.

I tried to make a "block". The shape could be a bit better with some more practice, but this was a first prototype.
Length 1.5mm
width 1mm
thickness 0.5mm
Making these blocks should work for me, but rigging them ... On the first try, the little block decided it was scared of rope and jumped somewhere far away on the kitchen floor 🤣 😳

This is far too small for my ability and not relaxing. 

I'm going to clean up and use the blocks provided in the kit (work in progress)

On this small scale and in wood, beautifully done 

Nice planking Michael   👍

Changed my mind on the rigging colour, not happy with how the deadeyes look, still. Going to make the shroud lines black, and ratlines used rope colour. Also the standing rigging black. I will work on the idea that the black ropes may have been tarred. Will have to use glue solvent to remove the few I have already stuck on. I will paint the deadeyes wood colour and the fake plastic shroud/pullys ropes black. 

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

For the blocks, i have used to cut the moulding frames to tiny pieces and drilled 2 holes in at right angles. The below pic is from my 1:150 Vasa, one block is actually 2mm long and the holes are 0.7 mm. Sorry for the quality, there is no better macro fotomachine at hand now.

 

 

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

The cat seems to be your loyal friend. She doesn't care about covid contamination at all.

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

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

Now I have the most demanding belt with blue and green cubes waiting for me

I have full confidence in you for a successful finish👍

Excellent work.

 and welcome to MSW

Nice model

Nice models Sparky

And

Nice work Ward 👍

Great work Geert.

You are a very patient man who works very accurately 👍

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

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
