HMS Bounty 1:48 Made to Harold Hahn Plans

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, 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.
