I have finished the running rigging on the bowsprit,.and have started on the foremast. So far I have had to replace some stays,
because he had tied them round the yard rigging,the shrouds need tightening and the ratlines need replacing.Other than that every thing is ok?

Thank you for your time every one.

Hi Steve
It took me all off half an hour to get that look.When I was in the history business we would have called it distressed.Anyway thanks for your good wishes.

Hi Blue Pilot.
Woodwork wise they are well made,it,s the rigging that,s in a mess pairs not going to the same belay on the opposite side some are missing,and large amount of supper glue on every thing.

Tony

All the Bowsprite rigging is in place although its not tied off yet as I have not finished staining them to bring them in line with the original.

Thank you gentlemen.

No I don't,both the Bounty and the Victory are del prado so its from whenever they where published.

I use different size brushes and a hair dryer.

She is now dusted, and I have now started cleaning the old glue off the pieces that have come adrift.

Made a start,still dont know the name of the model.Captainsteve I agree their are some right phillistines about.
tony got a reaction from GrandpaPhil in Scottish Maid and Bounty by tony - RESTORATION July 16, 2019

Thanks all for your replies.The 4th one is a half finished model of the Victory,by De Prado and by the looks of it so is the BOUNTY. The other one looks to be early 1800s American,lawrence/Niagra?

Thanks again
