OcCre Bounty Launch parts ID - help needed

[Highlander]

Hi.

Ref: OcCre Bounty Launch 1:24   52003

 

Well… it didn’t take long for me to get stuck – at first hurdle!

Having difficulty identifying the wood parts to the part list. Need some assistance.

 

I am presuming (dangerous to presume) that I have correctly identified the following parts from the part list???

 

a = Part list No. 41   Lining Strakes   x 35  (34 in kit) 2 x 5 x 400  Lime wood

 

b = Part list Nos. 68 (Bowsprit), 69 (Foremast), 70 (Fore Yard), 71 (Main Yard).  Need to cut?

 

c = Part list No. 13   Planking   x11 (8 in kit)    2 x 3 x 200  African Walnut

 

d = Part list No. 54   Oar Webs x 8 (5 in kit)    3  x 150   Plywood

 

e = Part list No. 42   Bulwarks   (2 in kit)   2 x 8 x 400   Lime Wood

 

f = Part list No. 43   Hull Lining   x35  (38 in kit)    0.6 x 5 x 400   Sapele Wood

 

g = Part list No. 44   Bulwarks Lining   x 7    0.6 x 5 x 400   Lime wood

 

Part list No.45   Rubbing strakes x3   2 x 3 x 400   Lime Wood?

The only 2 x 3 in the kit is, ‘c’ in attached photo.  Part List No.13, in which I only have 8, not 11.

If I need 11 x 200 lengths for the planking and 3 x 400 for the rubbing stakes, then the 8 I have is not enough?

Hope all that makes some kind of sense.

 

I’m a wee bit befuddled!

 

As a first step I intend to stain all the wood before starting the gluing  -  good idea or not?

 

Hoping some kind person can help me out?

Hello  Highlander,  if you are missing anything, contact OcCre, I am sure they will replace the missing  planks,  or what ever else is missing. 

As far as staining go's,  I like to put thing together  then stain,  but I am a newbie more people with more knowledge will chime in soon, you'll get your answers 😉

I like to stain 'before' gluing because cured glue does not take stain very well. The glue joints will become very noticeable, after staining, if you stain 'after the fact' and there was any glue squeezed outside of the actual glue joint. When staining prior to gluing, just make sure that your choice of stain is glue friendly. Stain some scrap and try gluing it together. If the glue doesn't hold very well... buy a less oily stain. If the glue holds, you're golden!

Well, I'll blend in.
Occre replaces missing parts without any problems, as I did with the Esmerald. Two brass etched parts were missing, they sent me the complete plate as a replacement.

I'll do the staining after assembly. But I only use white glue for gluing. You just have to use a spatula to remove anything that sticks out after each strip on the fuselage, for example. 
After curing, I also go over it with 1000 grit sandpaper and that's it.
I think the problem usually arises when using superglue, which I have not used since the Lady Nelson for this reason.

Have a nice Sunday

Hi,

Many thanks for all the advice on, ‘staining’ – much appreciated!

I have two types of glue: ‘Titebond 3 ‘& ‘Speed Bond’.

 

I really need someone to confirm or otherwise if I have correctly identified the parts from the part list?

 

Take care.

I think you identified correctly.

 

Maybe the rubbing strakes are meant to be cut from a plank from pile a?

also, how long are the planks in pile c? If  you have 8 and they are 400mm, so you would end up with 16 of 200mm length.

Highlander, I'm a 'kind person' all right. Like you, I'm the kind that gets befuddled with the timber bits! 🤔 You have done all you can. After scrolling up and down between your a-g list, a-g timber picture, and your parts list, I think your conclusion is correct. In regard to timber 'c', have a close look at the instructions and see if your ship dimensions require eleven lengths or eight. If the extra pieces are needed, contact OcCre. Good luck with your build. Incidentally, my favourite ship build was the Bounty (by Artesania Latina). See the link below.

Cheers,

  Heck, when confused I'll often just 'wing it' and use whatever is handy to make a project 'look right'.

That’s brilliant!

Many thanks for confirming that I’ve correctly identified the parts. Something correct – that’s a

first for me!

‘Maybe the rubbing strakes are meant to be cut from a plank from pile a?’

Never thought of that. Pile ‘a’ is 2 x 5 x 400 whereas the Rubbing Stakes are 2 x 3 x 400mm. And, I’m one short (pile ‘a’) – shouldn’t make a difference?

 

The length of planks in pile, ‘c’ are 400mm. All the piles are of a length of 400mm.

According to the parts list I need eleven 2 x 3 x 200mm. You are right, by cutting I get 16.

 

‘In regard to timber 'c', have a close look at the instructions and see if your ship dimensions require eleven lengths or eight’. Looking at the dimensions, I think I will need 7 full lengths then two shorter ones either side making 11 at the bottom of the hull. But, I maybe wrong…

 

However, I still think I’m missing the following: Part No. 45, Rubbing Stakes x 3. These are the same size as the planks in pile, ‘c’ which are African Walnut – I need three lengths of 400mm in Lime Wood

So, I have contacted OcCre.

A, 'wee dram' usually helps my confusion...

 

Really encouraging and appreciate all the help!

Take care.
