HMAV BOUNTY - A “face lift “

[GrantTyler]

Good evening.
Got some motivation to do the shrouds on the foremast:

I forgot to do the pendants first so lifted the shrouds up. There is space so will add the pendants.

I tied off the lanyards on the main mast shrouds :

Cheers Grant
Ps : my Mom sent me this - she has done some more work on my Victory painting.
She is coming to Cape Town at the end of March and plans to have it finished for me:

Good to see you working on the Bounty. The rigging looks nice.
Moms+ships=Great.
I think I posted it also somewhere: my mom made me this embroidery:

But not as fascinated as the painting of your mon!

Talented moms. Nice to see where it comes from. Mine too. Knitting, hooked rugs and needlepoint, a pro, until macular degeneration took her eyesight.
Really nice work, grant!

Great work Grant! Mom has talent too. Glad your went back a couple steps and got the cargo pendants installed. If I would have skipped that, I'd never stop regretting it.

Hi Grant, I'm playing catch-up again. Happy belated birthday to you, your face lift of your Bounty is looking like a new out of the box kit. I'm on a little break from modeling but will be purchasing that wonderful Zebec in the near future.

Hi Peter. Clearly our Moms still love us…at times I do wonder why

Talented moms. Nice to see where it comes from. Mine too. Knitting, hooked rugs and needlepoint, a pro, until macular degeneration took her eyesight.
Really nice work, grant!

Thank you kindly Peter

Great work Grant! Mom has talent too. Glad your went back a couple steps and got the cargo pendants installed. If I would have skipped that, I'd never stop regretting it.

Thank you Kurt. True story, I’m just happy I picked it up now- easy to sort out.

Thank you Daniel. A break is always a good thing and building the Le Requin POF will be a most enjoyable venture.

Lovely Mom And lovely painting

Thank you Ron. She is a legend is our family- the glue that has always kept it together.

Great talented, supportive, happy mom and a wonderful painting. You are a lucky guy my friend.

Hi Roger. I certainly am….Thank you. Cheers Grant

Good morning Gentlemen.
A little more progress serving lines, making strops and a mouse, and seizing blocks.

Added the jeer blocks, pendants and deadeyes to the foremast :

Made the preventer stay for the main mast:

….and so the renovation of my Bounty continues. Cheers Grant
BTW : I’m still at $17 cash spent….

I’m still at $17 cash spent….

You would integrate very quickly as a Dutchman, you have the most important ability needed.

She deserves a nice and solid finish. Good to see you working on her, Grant.

Welcome back. We've all been sitting over by your Enterprise and didn't notice you working on this side of the room.

Oh, you're out of the Beaumont Chenin Blanc again...

 

[Pathfinder65]

Impressive, very Impressive, all on a $17 budget.

Beautiful rigging work Grant. This is where microsurgery skills, lean fingers and good eyes are needed...
I guess you are working on Bounty's rigging while you wait for extra sheets on your Enterprize. ?
BTW, do you have different work areas for different stages of your builds ? Send us a picture of your shop.
I find it always helps to have projects at different stages to keep interest.

Ha ha Stephan. There is a strong influence of the Dutch in South African culture….that’s where I get it from . Cheers Grant

Thanks Peter. She is coming on way better than I would have ever imagined. To give her a bit of boost and character I have decided to make some weather and worn sails. Hopefully will finish her off nicely…this will take some time though. Cheers Grant

Good evening Paul. It rather appealing hot have two builds at two different stages of development. If get tired of building center timbers and frames I just jump across and do some rigging.

Chenin is out of stock…. I have just got back from a client lunch and bought some De Grendel Rubaiyat. A blend dedicated to the poet Omar Khayyam which is really good.There is a verse of his poems on each bottle. For you guys in the USA it is the cost of a cup of coffee .

Cheers Grant

I bet his cost goes up when he builds a nice display case to hold this beauty!

Are you sure? They pay a dollar for just one egg, a cup of coffee could be 10 times that amount.

I bet his cost goes up when he builds a nice display case to hold this beauty!

I don't think so, for sure he is using empty wine bottles for that.
