My first wooden hulled ship kit, from the excellent
Model Shipways kit of the HMS Bounty's Launch. For those not familiar with the
terms, this would be the workboat carried by the HMS Bounty on its now-famous
journey. I wasn't worried much about the significance of the subject, I just
really liked the concept of a simple workboat sailing ship. Difficult to build,
but very satisfying.
