Cap'n Rat Fink Posted February 28, 2013 Author #32 Posted February 28, 2013 JP, Greenstone, Thank you both for stopping by. I added the build back because I had been getting a couple of PM's on the build back on MSW 1.0 , so to help the others I had a fail safe and put the build back, though it is missing some texted but better then nothing I always say.... slagoon 1 Quote Thank You all...

Keith_W Posted February 28, 2013 #33 Posted February 28, 2013 I just came across this build - it is truly insane the amount of detail that went into this little boat. I have never seen another ship modeller try to make a scale inscribed coconut before! Well done!

themadchemist Posted March 12, 2013 #42 Posted March 12, 2013 Mario I just have to say, no one bashes a kit like Mario, That tool chest is magnificent by its self, but were they using that type of saw in that time or the springed bow saw? Also would they be allowed to take tools when dumped. The ships carpenter no doubt owned his own tools but they were stealing a HM Ship. See all the interesting things your work makes me think about. Outstanding work, your work makes me want to build a diorama. Your Dinghy is great also with the cooler and fishing gear. 2 Thumbs up. This kit is officially BASHED! Shine On -/\= Keith Quote

Shine On -/\= Keith Hi Keith it's yes on both your questions. I research the type of tools in that time period. The carpenter was banished with Bligh because Christain new he was just a trouble maker as he was. And he banished him with his tools. 42rocker nice to se you over here too THANK YOU BOTH FOR YOUR KIND REMARKS Quote Thank You all...

themadchemist Posted March 28, 2013 #45 Posted March 28, 2013 Its me again Mario, After posting about the carpenters chest I read Blighs log. I figured it would be 84 pages of BORING, but it was quite interesting. Thats was one disciplined man and an amazing navigator. Oh one other thing. You stated that you used magic water for the bounty launch. What did you use on the Dinghy? on that diorama the water looks transparent. I'm still amazed at that tool chest, its interesting how the carpenters chest actually saves them as its the only water tight place to store the bread. Cap'n Rat Fink 1 Quote
Cap'n Rat Fink Posted April 22, 2013 Author #46 Posted April 22, 2013 Hi keith sorry for not catching your reply. On the Dinghy I use a black backgorund on the base board which gave it that clear Lake look you noticed. Where for the Launch I used a nuetral earth tone color and i added blue and green enamel paint to get the color of the water. I hope this helps you out. Quote Thank You all...

themadchemist Posted April 23, 2013 #47 Posted April 23, 2013 Thanks Mario, No problem on the wait. Ive been devoting more time to the Swift ATM anyway. I still need to build the base for the peterboro and plan on doing that when I visit dads wood shop to cut some cherry for the Swift. Quote
radrick21 Posted October 11, 2014 #48 Posted October 11, 2014 Mario, you made this small boat into a fascinating snapshot of the Bounty's everlasting mystique. A gripping display. Please don't ever take your log down! Cap'n Rat Fink 1 Quote Don't you worry about it. I'm working on it.

Mike_In_RI Posted September 17, 2020 #53 Posted September 17, 2020 Hi Mario, albeit late, I'm just checking out your launch build. Super detail and lots of time put into the small stuff. Very well done. I'm slowly accumulating a list of potential next builds and this one makes the list. 'Love the diorama.
