Hi all,
I was given a model (allegedly of the Bounty) which is in a rather sad state and in need of lots of TLC - chiefly in the rigging department.
I took some photos when I got it - some are attached - and then put it aside while I built the DeAgostini HMS Victory but, now that's finished,
the restoration job might well be the next project.
I'd welcome any help with identifying the model - I imagine it's from a kit - some parts of it feel suspiciously like plastic to me (e.g. the hull)
whilst others are more wood-like. It looks like it's all there but finding where the running rigging all terminates on the pin-rails might prove
challenging! It also looks like the figurehead and general colour-scheme are less than accurate.
Any ideas anyone?
Cheers,
Mike
