BONHOMME RICHARD, Cross Section

Hi all

The Anatomy of the Bounty, by Artesania Latina, first version (~30 years old kit) was finished. Now I am building the Gunboat Philadelphia as part of Olha Batchvarov Facebook group built. Every weekend, Olha built a section, that takes her around 2-3 hours. More or less the same amount or a bit more is what I spend too. That leaves me with free hobby time during the week. The Bounty was completed so..... I need to start another project. :-)

I picked the Bonhomme Richard cross section (pear wood) from my kit stock. This is the full kit version. I bought this kit from a SOS member a few years ago.

There are SOS excellent builts threads. Here is the link to some that I will follow for my built. Nevertheless, if anybody is interested on this kit, I will suggest you take a look to all of them, as i am doing.

Signet's Bonhomme Richard Cross Section [COMPLETED BUILD]

Yeah, another one. There are already so many builds, of such high quality, that I'm sure you're thinking we don't need another one. But I'm hoping that my build might provide some interesting discussion, and the build will definitely be from a professional non-perfectionist viewpoint. Besides...

I'll be following this build. I have been watching Olha for years and love her work
 
Update

I started to do the bread oven when I realized that it was better to finish the external side of the hull. In that way I definitely will have the full shape and height of the ship. Now I can concentrate on the internal parts and corresponding decks.

The ship shape is cut using a template.

Then I added all the planking and hand rails. There are details that i haven't added yet. This is where I am now :

The bulk of the bread oven is finished. I still need to add a few details. Those will be added when i set it up on the deck.

Hi all, thank you very much for all the comments and likes.

A small update today, that took me a few afternoons to achieve.

I worked this week on 1 cannon. Yes, I only could finish 1 cannon. I used the rigging blocks provided with the kit. But they aren't the correct ones for all the places. Order the correct ones and let see if I order the correct size. Nevertheless, the companion cannon, on this deck, will be done in the same way.

For the first time in my modeler life I did my own ropes with a vertical rope making machine.
