HMS Bounty

[JGRIFFIN]

Hello all,  I hope I did this right as this is my first time starting a forum. Please excuse my ignorance on this.   
I am planning to build the Artesania Latina’s HMS Bounty in the 1/48 scale.

I am wanting to make my own ropes and was wondering how I can go about finding out the right rope sizes used.  If anyone has the time to answer any questions regarding this it would be greatly appreciated.  
 
thank you.

Click here to check out this book. I have the Alert title from the same series, and it includes rigging tables. I would assume that other titles in the series do as well.

I can verify that the Anatomy of the Ship Armed Transport Bounty book has tables of the various ropes in the rigging. It would make a nice reference for anyone building a model.

Thank you guys.  From there how exactly would I convert the circumference to 1/48 scale?   I’m a bit confused on this.

It is pretty straightforward.  Dividing the circumference in inches by 3.14 will give you the diameter in inches.  Then just divide by 48 to get the scale diameter in inches.

 

example:  6 circumference rope.  Divide by 3.14 gives 1.91" diameter rope.  Divide by 48 to get 0.0398" diameter in real life for 1/48 scale.
