HMS Bounty's Jolly Boat by Yann Kermeur - Artesania Latina - Scale 1/25 - First build


Recommended Posts

Hello everyone,
I've received myparcell  and so I'm declaring the worksite open.

First of all, may be I'll do mistake by using wrong words or terms here,because I'm not a native speaker,  and in advance I apolozige, but it's something that I could improve with your help, so let's get started !

and it's with a big enthusiasm that I ope the box of my first kit !!!

So everything's tidy, there's a little box with lots of little things, fittings, little cannons, brass and little pulleys
but they're really small !!! I'm going to have to be really meticulous on this one, I can feel it!

See you soon in the sawdust and glue!

Hi

Well, the job's off to a good start, and I think that's the easy part for the moment ...

The photoetched boards look good, with the part numbers already engraved on them .

so if I've understood correctly, it's better to sand the fields to remove the laser burn for better adhesion of the glue.

If I'd known, I would have tapered the second strake near the keel. That would have been easier for the width of the strakes at the bow.

Hi everyone

The hull is finished, first sanding with 80 grain sandpaper to try and remove the biggest irregularities ...

The hull planking is finished, and I'm going to think again about the choice of paint, but not necessarily the one recommended by the manufacturer.

Hi everybody !

 

keel installation, stern post and  keel bow ....

As for the rest, I did some research on the web about this boat and it clearly appears that there are many variants
and the kit I bought is far from a proven historical version. Perhaps it's different with more prestigious boats?
In short, I've decided to take a step back from the kit plan and try to make a few modifications that will in any case be no less valid, even if I make a few mistakes.

 

first point :   Here I find it a little odd to attach the pulley and rope on either side of the tiller. I'm going to move these two fixing points.

Second point: In my opinion, there's a bit too much “bench” in the rowboat and, what's more, the black elements added on top next to the couples make the whole thing unnecessarily heavy ....

 

So I'm going to remove a bench and fix the seats at the level of the existing couples (in blue) ....
This will have the effect of shifting the mast a centimetre towards the stern .... and I'll have more space in the boat to add a few elements ...

third point: Finally, for the oars, the kit proposes to create a half-round on the gunwale, which doesn't seem very practical for rowers, so I'd modify this point.

Thank you for your attention and see you soon

Hello,

 

Work progresses slowly .....

A small attempt to age the deck ....The idea being to show a little wear due to the placement of the rowers' feet.
The benches are level with the adhesive strips.

Hello company!

Some news from Captain Bligh and his longboat

Since the last post, I've: fitted the rudder, created a small battened deck for the helmsman, fitted some  belaying pins to the cockpit for the ropes, installed a tiller for changing the tack, I've seen this on a tuna boat but I don't know if it's done on a longboat? and I've also tried a little ageing of the boat, just the inside and the stern for the moment .....

 

some views of all this:
