HMAV BOUNTY - A “face lift “

OMG these blocks look like something off a contemporary model compared to the junk blocks we see from some kit makers. Plus you have rigged them extremely well. Congrats!

I agree with you, Allan, those are some of the best blocks available. They make them single, double, and triple shaves. BTW, they are available in Box, Pearwood, and Ebony, also as small as 1.5mm to 9.00mm (any taste you like)



If you need those, you can get them from DryDock

Boxwood blocks - Double Sheave

Thank you Jim.
1.5mm is a HUGE selling point even for anyone doing scales as small as 1:96.

OOO, it's so exciting, first waiting for the parcel, then opening it, taking the first steps))) I remember myself in 2009. I drew the srangouts and waited for the plywood. And then I watered it for several days without stopping)))

Good morning Allan. Thank you very much. I really dislike kit blocks and I have some blocks from Zoly (from Drydock models). They are brilliant quality. Made from boxwood and ebony. Cheers Grant

Good morning Sergey. True story. I believe it will get here on the 17th December so now I have to wrap it and put it under the Christmas tree.

Good morning everyone. Once again my life is hectic and I apologise for my late reply’s. My business partner and I have been flying around our beautiful country taking our clients to their YE dinners. Back in CTN now and our last “thank you” function is this afternoon. I will be back. . I have plenty logs still to go through with many hours of reading. Cheers Grant
