Ian B Posted September 22, 2014 Share #14 Posted September 22, 2014 Hi, I shall follow you with interest as it looks a very good size for displaying. Some of the models on here really do need some serious room!, there are a few Bounty's being built on here of various kits and scales so plenty of inspiration for you. Good luck with the build Ian Quote HMAV Bounty 'Billings' completed ⛵ HMS Cheerful - Syren-Chuck' completed Steam Pinnace 199 'Billings bashed' - completed ⚓ HMS Ledbury F30 --White Ensign -completed 😎 HMS Vanguard 'Victory models'-- completed Bismarck Amati 1/200 --underway 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M. Pajulahti Posted September 22, 2014 Share #16 Posted September 22, 2014 You better fill that center cut for the keel and make your own cut there. I don't understand why italian kit producers make those ready-made cuts and holes etc when nothing isn't where they should be.Better to use thinner planks for the deck. That scale is very challenging, i believe. But you're off to a good start, keep it coming.

Elijah Posted September 22, 2014 Author Share #19 Posted September 22, 2014 The mast holes are a bit off centre as well, I have a drill I could make new holes but should I fill the holes with something else besides wood or should I use the idea of filling it with a wood cilinder and wood glue.

M.
