Looks good! Don't forget to turn the chimney forward! (As it is shown on the AoS drawing too)

Janos,
the wind blows from the stern so as the ship moves forward the actual wind created by the forward movement is greater than the wind from the stern thus the stack opening faces towards the stern. see the attached admiralty drawing of bounty. also see the actual picture of the USS Constitution. the stack faces aft as does the BountyAdmiralty_Sheer_Draught_Ship_Plans_-_HMS_Bounty.jpg5a16ee0537ab5_med_gallery_5855_780_587971.jpg.c1d5c1ea39bfe10cf1f1d2de024c70ff.jpg1931Underway-1024x789.jpg
 
Usually when the wind is blowing, the speed of the wind is faster than the moving ship following the direction of the wind.
Therefore the opening would be usually towards the stern
But the top parts of the chimneys were usually round and the direction of the opening was possible to adjust - f.e. in harbour or anchoring

Had the launch at this point once already. i used mahogany strips for the ribs and they ended up splintered and twisted. i tour it all apart and started over again.
i switched over to basswood and soaked them in water and formed them on the strong back. The launch came out much better. I included a comparison picture of the 1/16 Bounty launch i build with the 1/48 scale launch. what i did was i redrew the 1/16 plans in autocad to 1/48 scale cut the parts and this is the end result....
now to finish the planking.IMG_5693 - Copy.jpgIMG_5694.jpgIMG_5695.jpgIMG_5696.jpgIMG_5697 (1).jpg

Starting to build the HMS Bounty. I have started to cut the frames out I currently have 18 Frames roughed out out of the 42 required.
I bought a steam generator and built a steam box to steam the planks for bending. I also bought a thin rip jig for my table saw to mill my own planks.
I had to make a zero insert for the saw as Skilsaw doesn't make one for this model saw which i just bought 4 months ago. I set up a frame roughing station
to rough out the frames. So now it starts. I will need plenty of advice and help on this so i plan to keep this thread going...Thanks in advance. you know what has really helpd me in my modeling has been my work on the Morgan restoration.......
