Hi everyone,
I just realized I've been a member of this forum for around 7 years or so, but have never introduced myself. I was able to get some photos of my models, and wanted to share them with you all.

This is The Bounty. I just finished this build last year. It's a Sergal kit, from 1974. The plans were pretty awful, and I had to spend quite a bit of time trying to decipher them.

I hope you enjoy!

I know. 7 years is a long time. life got in the way, Hopefully now I can spend more time on my true enjoyment, Next up. HMS Victory.
 
Welcome! Beautiful ship—one of my favorites as well, largely because of the fascinating history tied to HMS Bounty. The story of its captain and the abandoned crew really highlights their resilience and remarkable sailing skills in the aftermath.
 
Thanks for your kind words. It's not perfect but I'm happy for a first ship build that had awful plans. I'm trying to decide what to build next. I've got the SoS Mantua, the Victory Mantua, the Royal Caroline Mantua, and Soliel Royal Mantua to choose from. While I'm deciding I am building a Body by Fisher Victorian coach that my uncle started for a contest back in 1932.
