HMAV BOUNTY - A “face lift “

Just in case you do not already have it, the attached is the original contract for a sister ship to Enterprize 1774, the Aurora (28) 1776. If you wish I can email it to you in Word format as well as it has been highlighted with items that are usually ignored by some kit makers.

Thank you kindly Allan. I will pm you my email address. Cheers Grant
 
Good morning. Firstly thanks to Allan (@AllanKP69 ) for his help.

Back to the Bounty. Whew the past 2 months have been hectic. Been working on attempting to buy a business into our group which failed at the end. It felt like spending many hours building a major part for a ship only to throw it into the redo pile…

Anyway I have some ship building time again:D.

Yesterday I continued with Mizzen mast- fitting the top, mast bands etc :

OH I also finally made the missing chain plate . I used a dremel and needle files to shape this from left over brass from the Victory. Not perfect but good enough.

Had you not drawn an arrow to it, I would not have picked out the one you made. Nicely done.

My condolences for the $7…

Thank you Kindly gentlemen.
Wow, all that progress at only $7.00. If you factored in your time at a decent $ rate and adjusted for inflation what would the $ be?
