malcermie Posted November 29, 2013 Share #1 Posted November 29, 2013 I am scratch building HMS Bounty scale 1:60. Any help on how to make the open launches? Do I need temporary formers to support the planking and would they have been clinker built? Malc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Lad Posted November 29, 2013 Share #2 Posted November 29, 2013 Mac, Your boats would be best built over a former on which the ribs can be laid down and then planked. The famous launch in which Bligh and his crew escaped was carvel built - have you researched the other boats that the Bounty carried?

gjdale Posted November 29, 2013 Share #3 Posted November 29, 2013 (edited) Hi Malc, If you have a look in my Victory log, starting at post #188 on pg 13: http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/163-hms-victory-by-grant-dale-mamoli-scale-190/page-13 You will see how I tackled a 1:90 scale scratch built launch.

normanh Posted December 1, 2013 Share #5 Posted December 1, 2013 Caldercraft do launches as extra kits in 1/64 scale - could save some work, the hulls are resin with timber details inside. Norman Quote Norman Current build Trumpeter Arizona 1:200 with White Ensign PE and a Nautilus Wooden Deck. Built Caldercraft Convulsion, HM Brig Badger and HMS Snake. Awaiting - Zvelda HMS Dreadnought planning to get the Pontos Deck and PE Upgrades, Panart 1:23 Gun deck model and couple of the cannon kits Manatu - French siege mortar, and American coastal cannon.

malcermie Posted December 2, 2013 Author Share #6 Posted December 2, 2013 Thank guys, very helpful,Norman's idea is very tempting, but I promised myself that absolutely nothing would be purchased in finished or kit form...so masochist that I am, have to scratch build them.
