Hi Uwek, Thank you for your welcome aboard greeting.Maybe first of all can you define more clear the time period you are looking for?
Bygone era is in general a wide synonym
Thanks in advance

Hi Corsair, If you read my reply to Uwek, I covered all my thoughts in my reply to Uwek there. Thanks for replying.More specifically, what ship? What size?
Yes, there are MANY plans sets available for many different ships. But without knowing what you are looking for, its hard to tell you that what you are looking for is available.

Hi Uwek, Thank you for your welcome aboard greeting.
I am looking for a scale drawing for the Bounty at 25:1. As you may know the Bounty was made in the late 1700's.
What I want to do is a machine all my wood for the build so don't rely on kits that do not have enough material to build the model. I have had to machine up a fair bit of thin wood myself to finish of kit models and thought why not make my Model of the Bounty where I could position the scale model of the Jolly Boat on her? This probably leads to the Jolly Boat model by Artesania does not follow the true design of the original Jolly Boat.
This according to the net seems to be my understanding.
The actual thought of scaling a drawing will be time-consuming but at least very rewarding. I do have a love for widdling things down to be very small along with accuracy.
I do know the build will take years to do but I hope I have the time to build it. I also know building it at the scale of 25:1 will be around 4 1/2 feet. That would take up a lot of room but I am sure a local museum would take it on after my demise.
Regards
Gary
Thanks, Corsair that is a great start, and most obliged for your help.
you can order a copy of the original drawings from the NMM in scale 1:48Thanks, Corsair that is a great start, and most obliged for your help.
Looking at this Plan of the Bounty It is very hard at this resolutions to make out what is written.
So if I get a print of this plan, is there any guarantee I will be able to gain information from it or is it a bit of a guessing game?
