Part 5 The stern,

One of my least favorite parts is assembling the stern. Artesania has included simple flat brass\ ornaments and brass windows .

Although wood carving is not one of my best skills, I tried to make the window frames and ornaments myself from pear wood. It proved particularly difficult to make the windows symmetrical.

In the end, I am reasonably satisfied with the result. As far as I am concerned, it is at least an improvement on the brass parts from the kit.

Be more than satisfied. This is a respect-worthy improvement! Bravo!

I will also show you how I made the side galleries. In this case, I did use the ironwork from the kit. I did add wooden window frames to it, though.

That's why I decided to build my version of the Bounty with only one boat on deck

I think that was a very good idea. The jolly boat was rotted through and the cutter leaked to the point it was useless. Keep in mind that the launch had been modified from her original single mast design to carry two masts some time before the mutiny occurred and she was likely single banked.

Way to go Eric. I tried to 3D print some of these but failed miserably. Maybe I should maybe print the base and do what you did. Wonderful modelling. Cheers Grant
