Hello to all

This is my first post on the page and i hope everyone will enjoy.

I have been a modelerall of my life, but havent built a sailling ship sense my young teen years. One of my favorites is thr HMS Bounty. I remember at the age of 9 i was able to go on the Bounty when it was in tampa fl. I have loved the ship ever sense.

I have been studying models of thr bounty for a while and have chosen the revell kit. for its age i think it captures the shape very well. the details are a little crude so i have dicided to try to make the model look better. first the deck really needs help so decided to sand it smooth and start over. i thought about scribing the deck planks or glue very thin vaneer strips to make the planks. but one day at the local hobby shop i found some (Evergreen) siding sheets that were perfect. so i have glued it down on the old deck. I think it looke really good

Plastic card comes in sheets of varying thicknesses. It's easy to cut plank strips to your hearts delight.
