    Model Shipways Bounty Launch

    in Wood ship model kits

    Posted

    Thanks Richard. I'm new to the forum, the search function is helpful . Getting back into wood model ship building. Started building the Constructo Schooner and let it sit for over 40 years, finished it last year. Built Model Shipways Gunboat Philadelphia last year, it was a very interesting kit. The Bounty Launch is the 1st model using planking over a building jig. Recently found Model Ship World Forum, it is very helpful.   Thanks.  Frank

    Has anyone built Model Shipways (MS1850)  H.M.S. Bounty Launch? It's a very interesting wood model kit and has a great history. Have a question about Fairing the Molds. How much wood do you sand off before installing the Frames? The Frames are 3/32 square Cherry. The molds are 3/32 Basswood.  ThanksP2022147.jpg.665263ca393ec61fb2b2a0d46f1ebd46.jpg3/32 cherry for FRAMESP2022143.jpg.cdd632abee0f2bd6f0be0e8ec530494c.jpgBuilding Jig with Molds.P2022141.jpg.6d5f9c43315f3e0a39d744ac1e4264cf.jpgP2022141.jpg.6d5f9c43315f3e0a39d744ac1e4264cf.jpgMolds with stiffening strutsP2022146.jpg.95b26aec525e6af9cf787fd70be18de6.jpg

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. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
