HMS Bounty 1:48 Made to Harold Hahn Plans

The tools I use for making copper plates. I made a jig to put nails in and a tape dispenser for the copper tape

Doing the copper plates on the hull. very time consuming and intense.. but worth it when done. I built a jig to put the nails in and a ponce wheel to do it. then i cut the strip into 4 plate segments and attached to the hull

I haven’t posted in a while have been busy with the Mystic Seaport Ship Modelers setting up our display and workshop in the Gardner boat shop. I had Bounty’s figure done in 3D printed by a company called Aero Systems Design. It took about 3 months for them to do it as they just got the software to do the 3D model. I sent them the figure head from the plans with dimensions and the made the figure head. Here are some pics. They did an awsome job….

Hi lesterpalifke.
I have spent some time this morning reading through your build log and I must say you are doing a fantastic job.
My next build after I finish my little HMS Victory build will be the Bounty. so I will now be following your your progress on this build with great interest.
Keep up the good work.

Hello,
Any new progress on this build?

Hello, I am a new member and I intend to start building the Bounty following what you have done. I would like to have some info about the availability of the related drawings of all frames as shown in these yr photos. I acquired The armed transport Bounty of John Mckay but there are no details on the singles frames. Could you help me on how to get them . Thanking you in advance.

Hallo @Capitan Trinchetto
we wish you all the BEST and a HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Did you start in the meantime with your project?
@lesterpalifka
sorry for using your topic off-topic? Is this project still on-hold?

I will also build the Bounty and wow your pages on the build have blown me away!
I have lots to learn but with your pages here, a lot of the head-scratching has at least gotten rid of the dead skin now, as your build has enlightened me.
Just hope you come back to show more.

When I went to the Anatomy of the Bounty, there is a difference in frame numbers I counted on the main body of the build,59 in the book and you have only 32 overall. Is this because of the plans you got or have you spaced them out differently for fewer frames?
I ask this question because I am as green as to this hobby but it's a challenge for me to have a go at building this ship.
