    Hi Dan,

     

    Great to come across another Bounty builder, yours is looking great. Your colour scheme is the closest I have ever seen to what I chose, I like bright colours as well and am sure that Bligh would have used them if he had them.

     

    I'm about two thirds of the way through the running rigging, having lots of fun.

     

    The rig is a bit of a hybrid, the pin racks were installed fairly early on as described with the Amati kit but the further on I got the more I found the Amati rigging descriptions dubious so I have found another couple of sources of info, Mackay's Anatomy of the Ship where the rig is shown in mind blowing detail but is so small as to be almost invisible in places, and Lennarth Petterson's book which describes the rig of a frigate of the same period but shows each line very clearly.

     

    The Bounty rig looks like a scaled down frigate rig designed for a smaller crew so I am doing a bit of adapting. 

     

    At the end of the day I'm hoping it  will all look reasonably convincing but I don't think it will fool and educated eye.

     

    Cheers,

     

    David.

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.
