Welcome Adam, i like the Bounty and i am very curious to see you're new challenge.
I think when you take you're time to do everything right it will be fine.
Be patient, especially in the beginning (drawing and making hull) doesn't matter its a kit or scratch, it will give you a lot of pleasure with the rest of the build..😉
Do you already now how you gonna start building the hull? Admiralty style, or??
I wish you luck with you're new build, ill track it!👍

Hello,
today i started with making my building-boards.
After the drawing part i made two corresponding long "ribs", Those are the backbone of the ship and hopefully they hold my ship straight and square🤞😁
Also i made a false keel to mount everything straight and i made it 2,5 mm thick (half keel minus rabbit).
After that i start mounting every 5 or 6th rib, i glued them in place and those are my markers, i'll fit the rest between those. Those i will not glue at first, but later when all the sanding is done.....you'll see when i am on that point in the future.
That's all for now! 👍

Hi,
its a very interesting, and i find it also a easy way of making my hull contours. It was a little bit of a struggle at first to discover how everything was done with the drawing part but after some small tests i think i am on the right track now😄
If there is some interest i can make a "how to" build log from the beginning. The drawing part is the most difficult part i think to understand. I am to far now and didn't make more pictures than these, but if i order some new drawings in the nearby future i can create a small part of a hull from start to finish.
Just let me now, then i collect how much interest there is.😉
Best regards,
Robin.

Hello from the Netherlands!
In this build log i will post the updates of my scratch build of Le Fleuron. Bought 4-5 years ago the book and plans of Ancre, very nice and helpful!🤩
This is my first scratch build of a ship, and i started today with the real build. I've read and study for about 3-4 years about this ship, and made the drawings to start my build. I use the method a lot of Russian modelers also use, didn't see it often on forums.
I have never had my own build log on a forum, but i thought i give it a chance. I also need some help i think in the future😉😁
Greeting Robin.

Hello! and let me introduce myself a little bit. I read for a while on this forum and now my own project is starting so i thought i post here, lots of help here! I never been on a forum so i hope this works well for me.😁
I am Robin, 34 years old and living in the Netherlands. I've been modeling since i was about 10 years old.
I've started of with model trains, then some plastic kits and wooden kits. I have a high standard in my modeling. A few years ago i made a switch in my profession to mostly carpentry, and i have to say that i love wood!😃
Also 4 years ago i have bought the plans for my new project, Le fleuron. I've read and researched a lot but since i moved to my new house it was on the upper shelf for a good year.
Now i am off to hopefully a good start with this beauty, i have some questions and will start a new topic in the coming days. Mostly of my drawings are ready to go!!
This project wont be a fast one because i have allot to do beside modeling.....but patience is the key!😉
Greetings!

Le Fleuron?
in Nautical/Naval History

I think amateur is correct, its also a nice ship to see and it has a big package of different modelling skills. There is a good amount of info to find on the internet, and the author of the monograph is also on a few forums to help where necessary. I think all that info is the reason you see that many online.
