Might want to give the forward eye pin a twist to vertical on port side of steering line, it looks awful twisted as it is routed now, would cause lots of friction on rope and wear.
Nice Daniel. It alwa amazes me how many belay pins the Bounty had. And she is a small ship. Luckily for us she had few shroud cleats. Cheers GrantThank you guys forvthe likes.
More rigging pin-rails added plus culverin supports on one side.

Correct, they are wrong.Hi Daniel,
Any chance the wooden part of the anchor is on upside down? It's hard to tell from the pictures. I do love all the detailing!
Good eye for detail there dockattner….hopefully an easy fix for DanielHi Daniel,

Paul, you are correct. To avoid that my mistake can confuse other modelers, i will delete the images. Will not redo the anchors. For my model they look fine. Nevertheless, as this model have many imperfections, out of scale parts, etc , the best will be to stop my postings here.Hi Daniel,

No worries at all Daniel. My work contains error upon error. Sometimes I fix the mistakes, sometimes I leave them. I don't think I would delete the pictures, however. Your work is a joy to see, and it should be shared proudly. Maybe just make a note, "the anchor stock is on wrong, but I decided to leave it..."Paul, you are correct.

Thank you Paul !!Congratulations, Daniel! A very unique build!
Congratulations on Completing Your Model Build! Completing a model—especially one as detailed and historically rich as this—is no small feat. Your dedication, precision, and patience shine through in every plank, joint, and fitting. It’s more than just a finished model—it’s a story told through craftsmanship, and a tribute to maritime heritage and your skills.
You’ve brought history to life, and you should be incredibly proud. May this build stand proudly on display, admired by all who see it, and may it inspire your next journey at the workbench.
Well done, shipmate!
Jim, I am speechless. Thank you very much,.
Nevertheless, young and new modelers need to know that my work quality is just average, that I am not that guy that looks for perfection on every step and I do mistakes, like the anchors incredible that one, I was so piss-off with myself that I decided to stop building it.
Nevertheless, my wife brought me to earth with these words :
Are you building this ship to be placed in a museum? NO .
Are you building this ship for someone else that paid you ? NO,
Are you building this ship because you like the hobby, assembling a kit, do some modifications on it and enjoy the process? YES
So then be happy, forget about perfection and mistakes, just do the best you can and enjoy the result, we all do mistakes. Live the moment and what you do.
I love her !!!
Then I finished the cannons, added a few small details here and there, and said to my self : DONE , I stop here.
Cheers
Daniel
