DeAgostini has released a new partwork build of a Plank on Frame, Admirality style HMS Bounty!

The HMS Bounty is one of the most infamous ships to ever set sail. Her story, and that of her crew has been recounted many times over the years since the mutiny, in film, in books, and in art. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Bounty

This 1:48 scale model of the HMS Bounty, entirely made of wood, offers you the chance to build a naval model faithfully following the ancient construction techniques.

The model is open from both sides, up to the first deck, so you can admire the internal structures: the keel, the frames, the mast feet and the first parts of the masts, the beams and part of the internal planking. The ship's wheel, cannons, galley, bell and many other details faithfully replicate the original vessel's components.

Designed from the construction plans, but supplied in assembly kits, this admiralty style model of the Bounty allows you to understand the structure of the actual ship and to build a model that faithfully replicates the ancient techniques of building ship models.

You can find the Bounty here, to order your own! https://www.deagostini.c...s-bounty-admiralty-ship

Follow along as I build what looks to be an amazing kit, of a very historic ship!
