vossy Posted October 20, 2014 Share #1 Posted October 20, 2014 :piratebo5:ok so I thought I would begin a log on the Bounty as their are very few around. I have viewed david's and roman's build of this great vessel a zillion times and hope to do them justice with this effort. due to my interstate work commitments updates maybe somewhat spasmodic but I will do my best. please be forewarned I'm no Damien Parer with a camera though! am going to bypass the usual pics of box contents etc and get into the nitty gritty. here goes..... I always use filler blocks its a little known fact that God created Balsa wood to specifically stop model ship builders from abandoning the project at this stage and on the stern ok heaps more to come just need to see if this worked before posting more. cheers vossy popeye the sailor, Mr Whippy and DaveBaxt 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vossy Posted October 20, 2014 Author Share #3 Posted October 20, 2014 I'm sorry but I'm finding it harder to create the log than to actually build the model!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vossy Posted October 20, 2014 Author Share #4 Posted October 20, 2014 maybe this will work they wanted me to plank the deck in walnut in the kit too dark so I bought new limewood strips and stained them light maple popeye the sailor, Mr Whippy and DaveBaxt 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuntherMT Posted October 20, 2014 Share #5 Posted October 20, 2014 Vossy, You can add as many pictures to a post as you like, just keep adding them on the bottom. You can also insert the pictures anywhere in your post that you want, just position the cursor where you want the picture prior to clicking on the 'add to post' button. Looks like you've made a good start! popeye the sailor 1 Quote Brian Mystery project coming soon!

Dukekars Posted November 7, 2014 Share #6 Posted November 7, 2014 Vossy very interested in following this I just started my own, doing lots of reading. Cant seem to find David and Roman log that you mention. I am already stuck on step two working on it. Billings has no written explanation and drawings are ok but dont show a lot of things. Good luck looking forward to seeing your progress. popeye the sailor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vossy Posted November 10, 2014 Author Share #7 Posted November 10, 2014 g'day all have progressed but work in the wineries takes up much of my time will post updated pics tomorrow hopefully. just began first planking on stern popeye the sailor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vossy Posted November 13, 2014 Author Share #8 Posted November 13, 2014 ok need a bit of advice here hope someone can help it appears there are zero build logs on the beginning of this model in case I muck up the uploading of files again!!!! I will ask the question and just hope the pics come through. Do I need to add any more horizontal first planks to Bounty's stern area? Or should I now just keep going with the first planking layer on the sides and sweep them up to meet the stern area as it currently is? cheers chris Hopefully that worked popeye the sailor, Dukekars, DaveBaxt and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dukekars Posted November 13, 2014 Share #10 Posted November 13, 2014 I am currently looking for this book. Chris it is coming along nice. My frame and keel together just dealing with a keel alignment issue. Trying to figure out best fix to straighten.

vossy Posted November 15, 2014 Author Share #11 Posted November 15, 2014 well this is where I'm at. stuck! no-one seems to either know or want to offer advice bar roman who lives in Russia and takes an eternity to communicate with because of the distance and time zone issues (not his fault btw). will give it till the end of the weekend then just like Indiana jones take the great leap of faithand hope for the best. popeye the sailor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vossy Posted November 19, 2014 Author Share #12 Posted November 19, 2014 g'day all. so as I have said I'm a bit confused as to my next move so a pic and some comments would be most appreciated the said plank hasn't been glued only bent and nailed. question - does this look like I'm on the right track after I shape this plank on the stern ( I realize I have to do that). this is my first time at this type of stern. santa maria and golden hind were both flat and I found them pretty (well relatively) easy. this I just don't know anyway onto the pic cheers chris popeye the sailor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vossy Posted November 19, 2014 Author Share #13 Posted November 19, 2014 g'day brian (or should i say Active Member). what i really would like advice with is i have i planked the transom down towards the keel lower enough to begin the side planking? jeez mate i have asked this question on multiple forums with no clear answer. harder than doing a guts watch in the mighty Bass Straight. rip HMAS Torrens DE53 cheers chris popeye the sailor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt.Fisher Posted February 23, 2015 Share #14 Posted February 23, 2015 Hi Chris Are you still in building that boat?? Hope so! I've been doing the same recently, and slow, too. It is not Amati but AL kit, yet the boat is the same, so I think we could be useful to each other. Say Hi if you anre interested Good luck Capt.Fisher popeye the sailor 1 Quote ======== Current build - HMS Bounty - 1:48 - Artesania Latina Previous build Golden Star - 1:150 - Mantua (not finished) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vossy Posted March 12, 2018 Author Share #15 Posted March 12, 2018 Hoping to get this build and log going again in the next few days to run in conjunction with my build of the Mississippi Riverboat.

vossy Posted January 4 Author Share #16 Posted January 4 Hopefully not too late to revive this log. I have been working on this ship for a few since the last update. Sorry for my absence. Anyway here are a few pics in her current state. I must say, this particular kit isn't for the faint hearted. But I think it will eventually make a pretty nice model. Borrowed the color scheme from a build of the same kit by Navis Factorium (hope I got that right?) I liked the colors better than the box art. My camera skills still haven't improved and as per usual, high definition pics show a lot of errors. But in real life I am very happy with how this is turning out.
