Jase Posted April 15, 2014 #1 Posted April 15, 2014 I am looking to build a Bounty kit but was wondering what the general view was on which is the best kit currently. The billings kit looks old with lots of plastic peoples thoughts? Jase Current Builds San Francisco II
Mike Dowling Posted April 15, 2014 #2 Posted April 15, 2014 Hi there, have a flick through what others are building. I seem to be the only person trying to build an OcCre kit, everyone else is doing the AL model. I really don't know which is best but they do seem to be very different both in build and content. I am biased but then I would be!!! Current build : Gorch Fock Occre Completed non-boat build 1/16 Model expo Sopwith Camel - in shore leave. Previous boat builds: Amerigo Vespucci Occre Yacht Mary Artesania Latina Red Dragon (Modified) Non-boat build 1/24 scale Dennis bus by OcCre - in shore leave. Mare Nostrum (modified) Amati Oseberg (modified) Chaperon sternwheel steamer 1884 Constructo Lady Smith kit/scratch build OcCre Santisima Trinidad Cross Section Constructo Robert E Lee Paddle Steamer Constructo Louise, steam powered river boat OcCre Bounty with cutaway hull Corel Scotland Baltic Ketch (not on MSW) OcCre Spirit of Mississippi paddle steamer (not on MSW) In the Gallery: Mare Nostrum Oesberg Constructo Lady Smith Constructo Robert E Lee Constructo Louise OcCre Bounty OcCre Spirit of Mississippi

Ulises Victoria Posted April 16, 2014 #4 Posted April 16, 2014 (edited) I built the 1/48 starboard side open kit by Artesanía Latina. Good kit in my opinion, with very good instructions. Edited April 16, 2014 by Ulises Victoria 42rocker, mtaylor, Landlubber Mike and 1 other 4 There aren't but two options: do it FAST, or do it RIGHT. Current Project Build Log: Soleil Royal in 1/72. Kit by Artesania Latina. Last finished projects: Royal Ship Vasa 1628; French Vessel Royal Louis 1780. 1/90 Scale by Mamoli. 120 Cannons Future projects already in my stash: Panart: San Felipe 1/75; OcCre: Santísima Trinidad 1/90; Wish List: 1/64 Amati Victory, HMS Enterprise in 1/48 by CAF models. So much to build, so little time!
