HMS Bounty by klimi - 1:60 scale - armed merchant ship

[Krutzelpuntz]

Thank you Krutzelpuntz, i forgot say, that the replacement for a glass is a fiol out of disket.

 

Yes, I could imagine. it would probably respond poorly to heat, would just curl up. I was thinking of some thicker plastic. I'll have to try it out some day.

Maybe this glass wasn't used on ships at all, i'll have to find out.

[Chuck]

Its coming together very well.   Fine work.

[klimi]

Chuck, thankou you i´m very pleased by your words

 

Frank, thank you very much and  for you too. Do you celebrate Christmas at 25th, don´t you?

[klimi]

Gallery is done. I´m i preparing for a work on the bow. I am a little bit scared out of curved planks. I dont know, if is better to cut stright shape, or use stright plank and curve it.

[GTM]

Hej Klimi,

Just stumbled over your build log ..

Really a great build with quite some inspiring input !!

I certainly will follow, keep the pictures coming

[klimi]

Thank you GTM i do what everything what i can. You know, own workshop is a dream for work. but that is it, i´m thinking what may be next and i have 2 choises for now, next ship or i´d like to make my own chess with desk

[klimi]

Rudder was next step, cos i´m waiting for a wood on the work on gallion.  But the end of ship doesnt fit with hole on the deck, so i had it made a fake, but it works

[Navis Factorem]

Hi Pavel,

 

I just put some pics of my Bounty in the gallery.

 

Your build is coming along beautifully.

 

Cheers,

 

David.

Nice work, Pavel

[klimi]

Thank you guys,

i´m a litle bit curious, cos work with metal is waiting for me and i never done this. So now waiting for a metal components and tools for metalworking. I´ gonna have a solder for work with small pieces, 3 pliers of different styles, hammer... but i dont know what is useful as ground on metalwork?? For the wood i´m using a plastic table, but a little bit afraid what the higher temperature can make with this and also what is good to use as anvil? I saw some small anvils for jewelcrafting and it looks great but i´m not sure yet.

As a metal i chose brass wire and sheet 0.3  0.5  0.8 and 1mm for blackening i gonna use a liquid i dont know how it´s call.

I hope that next week i will have everything for this work, but the work now is very slow, because i have to learn on the exams, but i will try to updates everything.

[S.Coleman]

Really impressive! I like that set of window frames! Keep up the great work

Pavel

 

I think that is irreplaceable tool for soldering and other fine works

 

You can find it in Chinese shops about 5€

 

 

I also wait for soldering tips, and research Internet for lessons

 

Nenad

[klimi]

Good tip Nenad, i ordered it in one czech shop, for 4.04 Euro but they will it have at begining of february. i think that this third hand is good especially for work with ropes.

 

here is it

 

Coleman: thank you, i wil

I don't know what's available where you are, but a soldering pad is indispensable for protecting the work area.  Something like this:  http://www.micromark.com/soldering-pad-12-inches-x-12-inches,7358.html

[klimi]

Mark it looks good, but you know for me is it a little bit expensive. I asked my father for this and he told me that ply is also god for protect table.

 

Pavel

[klimi]

So galion is done, i did not keep shape by the plans. So i improvised and this solution is the best what i can do

[klimi]

metal work on rudder, it was not so huge problem, than i expected. But i think that fit rudder to the keel will more harder than this.

[NenadM]

Question - to fix rudder or to leave it movable ?

 

In my opinion, rudder is one of the most sensitive part exposed to damage during working on model. Maybe to mount it as later as you can ?

Edited March 20, 2014 by Nenad M

[klimi]

I don´t need movable rudder, so i gonna make it leave. Here are strips for next work. and i think that is not essential when i gonna put rudder to the ship. because on the deck is a small building covering top of the rudder and for work on rudder od the deck is important to rudder was on his place.

Edited March 20, 2014 by klimi

[klimi]

The rudder is fit to the ship now and i have to say that was really different work than everything else yet. Anyway, i made a first half in that way that i glue a brass strips and than put the nails on the second side i was working same way but i didnt use the glue i just nailed.

[riverboat]

Looks great Pavel...... beautiful planking !!

Frank

[klimi]

Hey Frank thank you a lot, do you know i'm trying to do everything what i can do. In my next steps i wish to improve the galion, i'd like to do a blue strips there, i think that it can move my model on a higher level. I gonna use a clay for it, it could works, but i got no experience with this but who's care and also work on figurehead. I will be pleased by that i will carve her out of lime wood, but if i will not like it i will try clay again. But this week will be poor in modeling, cos i have to learn on the exams.

 

cheers  Pavel

[klimi]

So i improved galion with lime strips, i think that it looks better.

[NenadM]

Very nice Pavel !

[klimi]

Thank you Nenad, i think that i have a biggest challenge now and this is carving of figurehead. I got a lot od lime wood, perhaps it will be enough

[NenadM]

Carving is not only one challenge. Rather say in mathematic way = challenge^challenge

Edited March 28, 2014 by Nenad M

[klimi]

yes it same like a progress rise exponentialy.

and figurehead is done, only thing what i gonna do, is painting.

[NenadM]

WOW !!!!

 

I wish I could do that on my CS

Edited April 8, 2014 by Nenad M

[klimi]

It is not so hard, most of the things i did with scalpel, files and sand papers. I can spend approximately 20 hours work on it. It is my firtst figure carved ever, i can´t imagine work on Wasa or on the others ships with many figures.
