Proof that there's no such thing as a bad kit. What a superb job of taking a mediocre model and turning it into an absolute gem. Very Well Done !!

It was top of the line as far as I was concerned around 1961.

Well done Patrick.

Just gone through this from start to finish, most excellent and thank you for taking the time to take all the pictures.

Very impressive.

Great job, thanks for sharing !!

I built this model about thirty years ago, and thought I'd gone above and beyond, but Holy Toledo, this is magnificent.

That subtle blue color is fantastic.

Thanks everyone for the nice comments.

Btw, a bounty build around 1961.... Backer64 was still in the design phase at that time

"bolts, nails" and cleaning the rudder.

Beautiful and impressive work! Plastic ship modeling can be just as impressive as wood if done with patience and care. In fact, wood is much more forgiving. You are well on the way to building a serious model!

I do have one question. While I love your technique with coppering the hull bottom, was Bounty coppered? I ask only because I am not sure.

Thank you for the comment.
Yes, the hull was coppered at the bottom. I read this once, but I don't remember exactly where.

Thank you. I will certainly research when I build my HMAV Bounty! You are certainly doing a magnificent job! Well done!
