HMS Bounty Jolly Boat by Cannon Fodder - FINISHED - Artesania Latina - Scale 1:25 - First Wooden Ship Build - SMALL


Recommended Posts

Turns out the instructions sort of end with incomplete pictures once you get to the rigging part. The sail provided is too large by about and inch and I am researching rigging and will likely adopt some techniques from similar models and others build logs.

 

Anyone know what this boat might have had given the period cleats versus a pinrail to secure line used to secure halyards and the like?

I've been making progress on my model and according to the instruction booklet I should be painting it, at least parts of it.

Are acrylic's ok ? I did apply a sanding sealer. but I want to stain the untreated floor boards which are walnut.

 

Thanks

Yep. my sail was too big according to the plan too CF.  In the end I'm not going to use it.  I think it clutters up the look too much.  But it is a shame because it could have been a nice addition.  You could roll it and use it as stowed like I've seen on one other build.

 

Really like what you have done and the stained timber is very nice.

Picture update, I got inspired my staring the Master and Commander books by Oneil. In there is a small modification so the lines don't foul on the tiller to control the mainsail.

Thar she is waiting for her cleats to dry before I string up the sails to them. Spent the rest of the evening making a box to go in the boat.

Completed model, just looked and saw I hadn't posted the completion. I need to stain the oars, and maybe the base but I'm in no rush as I've moved onto the Swift and the Emma C Berry.
