Trond Posted March 11, 2021 #1 Posted March 11, 2021 Hi, I just found my old HMS Bounty which I started approx 25 years ago and though it was time to start up again modeling now that the kids are getting young adults'. I guess I fell into ccoyle description on not to start ship building, 25 years ago. I picked a cool model which had limited/very bad instructions, faulty wood and was intended for experienced ship modelers (which I'm not). The hull mas made with probably all the nooby fault possible. Well, I've started up with trying to rectify my fault so it at least looks ok from the out side. Now I'm waiting for my extra Mahony plank to put on the hull. So there will be a lot of question to come from me. robdurant, GrandpaPhil, Baker and 9 others 12 Trond 'Patience Is a Virtue' Current Build: HMS Bounty - Billingboats
