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.
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
Part 6 Completion of the hull.
By August 2023, construction had progressed to the point where the hull was complete.
I will show you some photos of what the Bounty looked like at that time. At a later stage, I made some improvements and additions, such as the mountings for the swivel guns and the flag locker.
Most of the parts in the photos have already been mentioned in previous posts, but I think it's good to give a complete picture of the ship at that point in time.

Great weathering. It gives it a convincing and cohesive look.
Very beautiful ship and colors/tints. I will use your posts for reference for my own Bounty (AL).
@GrantTyler thank you very much Sir.
Thank you again Paul!
It would be great if you find the method I used useful. In any case, thank you again for the compliment Grant!
Thank you all for this very interesting information Allen.
It's good to hear that my practical choices seem to fit within the historical context.
@KAYA61, @RichardG, @CLB:
Thank you all for your positive responses. I appreciate it.
Thank you too! It would be great if my construction could contribute to your project. Can we follow the construction of your Bounty on this forum too?
Feel free to ask questions anytime. For a more detailed log, you could also take a look here (Dutch forum):

Goedemiddag Mijn eerste post en topic op een forum! Afgelopen zaterdag heb ik de moeite genomen om vanuit Brabant af te reizen naar Hillegom om de Ontmoetingsdag/Expo Historische Scheepsmodelbouw te bezoeken. Ik werd zeer aangenaam verrast door de vele mooie modellen! Wat me echter vooral...

Part 8: the bowsprit
In September 2023, I made and installed the bowsprit.
Below are photos of the result.

Fantastic job Erik. 
This is some of the nicest "fine" work I have seen on rigging. VERY nicely done. I apologize if you already mentioned this and I missed it, but did you make/buy your own rope and blocks? They look to be very high quality. I am betting these materials did not come out of an AL kit box.

Thanks Allen,
It's true that the rope and blocks aren't from the AL kit. I also didn't make them myself. The rope is from Germany: https://www.modellbau-takelgarn.com
The blocks are from www.kolderstok.com
Good morning Eric. Bravo! One of the best Bounty’s I have seen built. Cheers Grant
