bonhomme richard

This is my first posting as I just joined SoS. Before i start, a little about myself. My name is Henry and I'm 74 years old. I built my first wooden ship kit around 1985, Mamoli's USS Constitution Cross Section, that was a gift from my then fiancée, now my wife of nearly 40 years. I next...

Hello, this is Unicorn model from China, I’m now bringing you the new 1:48 aft midship cross-section of Bonhomme Richard 1779. The old Bonhomme Richard cross section kit has been launched for many years, although there are some upgrades and improvements, and a few modelers have made wonderful...

Hello folks, I'm back with the new log build of USS Bonhomme Richard - POF from "Unicorn Model". My progress will be slow, it is my second ship model. I'm a bit "green" with ship construction and experience, technics. I would like to thank this forum for great posts and logs. Following...

So this won't be a build log for a little while, I am working on a couple other things to improve my skills before I tackle these big ones, but I thought I'd do an unboxing of the kit to get things started. Here's box 1, part 1:

Hello everyone, here is the beginning of my building log. Sanding the frames took me a lot of time, but I finally finished sanding with 80/100/120 paper. I will continue with the 220 to have a good rendering. However I have a problem, if someone can help me. Should the spacer rods be glued...

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...

Le Bonhomme Richard était une frégate de la Continental Navy , la marine constituée lors de la révolution américaine. Il est construit en 1765 à l'arsenal de Lorient. Il fut mis à la disposition de John Paul Jones en 1779 par le roi de France Louis XVI , grâce à l'appui de Jacques-Donatien Le...

A long Time ago I found pictures of a model of the BonHomme Richard in a Modell Ship Forum. It was build in 3 Parts. So I build also my first Part of the BonHomme Richard 1/35. Here I post pictures

Hi everyone. It seems that this model is fashionable in the forum so I will collaborate with my progress to help all the colleagues who are doing it too. For my part, I will learn from your work. The first steps do not have much mystery. In my case, I am deck by deck in order to adjust each...

I have had these kits for approx two years now and I have been holding off starting them, once Uwe started his build log it got my juices flowing so here goes, and by the way I will be building two of them at the same time, I will post some pics of the kit contents in awhile, but for now, This...

Based on the extreme good quality I could see in the building log of @OlegM with his USS Bonhomme Richard from the same manufacturer https://shipsofscale.com/sosforums/threads/uss-bonhomme-richard-1779-1-48.3383/#post-66384 I was convinced, that this section model will be also a very good...

Hi everyone, I thought maybe it's not bad idea to share my current build - I'm doing it since January 2018 and the hull is almost comletely finished, just some final touch-ups untill I move to masting... I will post photos from the beginning, maybe several times per week. I'm not very good in...

Originally, I only wanted to build the tail section (Part 1), but then I was exited by the matter and still built the bow section (Part 2) with komplete interior fittings. The figurhead is a commissioned work, not carved by me. I mast motion the pictures of the construction progress. Karl...
