Captain Al Posted January 1, 2016 Share #183 Posted January 1, 2016 Boyd, I wish I could join the others in praise of your work, but alas I feel its not up to par. Under careful scrutiny and intense magnification I have noticed that one of the trenails on the 5th plank to port is about .25mm out of alignment. I'm not suggesting you rip out the plank, but just that in the future you take a bit more care. Its a shame that such an otherwise masterful job should be spoiled by careless inattention to detail. I'm looking forward to better things to come and I know you will rise to the occasion. For those who haven't gotten it yet, my tongue is still stuck in my cheek. Boyd, my buddy, as I noted in private, you've taken your rightful place among the masters. I can't wait to watch you plank the hull. You'll undoubtedly make drop planks and spoilers into works of art. thomaslambo, Cabbie, CaptainSteve and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thomaslambo Posted June 28, 2016 Author Share #185 Posted June 28, 2016 (edited) Hi Keith, Thanks for reciprocating and taking the time to look at my log....your kind words are much appreciated I guess I should do a quick update in case someone thinks I abandoned the build I've been working on the hull planking for the last 5 months...without question this is some of the most difficult wood work I've ever attempted. Hopefully I'll complete the planking before the end of 2016 (yes, it will take that long) Edited August 11, 2016 by thomaslambo CaptainSteve, cobra1951 and mattsayers148 3 Quote Boyd Current Build - HMS Bounty - Artesania Latina - Scale1:48 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 28, 2016 Share #192 Posted November 28, 2016 (edited) I have what I am sure is a really really stupid question: why is the kit's lower deck only 2/3 width? Is that purely to let more light down to the level/rooms below or something? Also, where oh where can I get a couple of those nice heavy steel right angles you have? No, seriously!

My apologies for missing your comments on my build log. I've been distracted from this forum as a result of a few projects around the house, as well as our home business demands. I really appreciate your kind words about my build, and I'm really not sure about your lower deck question. Here is a link to the steel angle plates (one of my favorite tools to ensure accurate/squared joints). Link http://www.micromark.com/angle-plates-1-inch-and-2-inch-and-3-inch-set-of-3,7183.html Also, I'll fail to complete the planking by the end of the year, so I'll try and post a few pictures of the progress as soon as possible....and thanks again to everyone for the continued interest in my build mattsayers148, hof00 and CaptainSteve 3 Quote Boyd Current Build - HMS Bounty - Artesania Latina - Scale1:48 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grendel Posted March 14, 2017 Share #195 Posted March 14, 2017 Hi Boyd, I hope you are able to pick up your build again. This build log has been a major influence in me deciding to take on this same kit. Your detail work and kit bashing is phenomenal. Truly impressive. I am attempting a little bashing of my own, but it is nowhere near your standard. Pop over and have a look at my log if you get a chance . All the best, Paul. jollyroger 1 Quote Current Build: HMS Bounty by Artesania Latina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thomaslambo Posted October 10, 2017 Author Share #198 Posted October 10, 2017 (edited) Hi Guys, A quick update...the Bounty has been in careful storage for some time now. In the meantime, I've been working on a Garden Railroad project in my backyard (it's all Captain Al,s fault ).....and needless to say it's taken much longer than I thought it would. Assuming I can get all the track installed by the end if the year.....I hope to get back to the Bounty build early in 2018. The planking is about 2/3 done and I'm very happy with the result so far. I'll make another post early in the new year...one way or the other. Dave, It's a fine model and I'm happy with the AL kit. FYI - I'm applying two 1 mm layer of planks on the hull because of the wide spacing of the frames (needs more support for the level of quality I'm after - exactly like my main deck). I just changed out some of the building materials as noted in my log. I'm using Boxwood for the hull planks...about 40% of them are cut from sheets to accomplish the correct lateral bends needed in the bow and stern....this is what held me up for soooo long Cheers Edited October 10, 2017 by thomaslambo CaptainSteve 1 Quote Boyd Current Build - HMS Bounty - Artesania Latina - Scale1:48 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
