peterbrowne Posted December 14, 2020 Share #1 Posted December 14, 2020 (edited) As a sequel to the thread on the length of the Caldercraft 1/64 HMAV Bounty, I have looked at doing the same for the Occre 1/45 kit. Occre have supplied me with the profile of their plans (see attached PDF) with a stated measurement of 690mm from the aft of the stern to the forward point of the beak (I'm sure there is a better term...): The length of the HMAV Bounty on the Admiralty plan is 90 feet or 2743cm (judging by the rule on the base of the plan...Wikipedia has the length at 90' 10''). At 1/45, that length 2743cm is 610mm using this tool. I have added that measurement to the above Occre image. As a point of reference, that section corresponds more or less to the one on the Bounty thread which is 429mm @ 1/64: It would seem then that the Occre kit is pretty accurate in the length, as is the Caldercraft kit as indicated in the previous thread. As a second comparison, I have overlayed the Occre profile onto the Admiralty profile of the Bounty (Admiralty modifications to the Bethia). Looks pretty accurate, though a bit deep in the keel and the masts a bit aft of those on the Admiralty plans (mainly foremast and mizzenmast, mainmast is not bad). Still I would say that is pretty good! Large image (23mb)... Occre Bounty.pdf Edited December 14, 2020 by peterbrowne mtaylor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
