1/700 USS Bonhomme Richard 3D print.

Is this the Capt Jack's Surprise or the former Bunker Hill sloop Surprise?

Lucky Jack Aubrey's vessel. You guys know how I love movies. USS Constitution will NOT be French.

Cheesy photo booth in action again. Mr. Clownie has barged into the frame again.
The island in the background is Pitcairn island. HMS Bounty is on display in 1787 after she had divested herself of Captain Bligh in her Cutter. Only the one small boat left aboard. Her C/A glue "shinies" have been flatted and awaits anchors.
HMS Bounty was a mold-filler. She is not my intellectual property, as such she cannot be sold as a TLAR Models kit. She IS a "casual freebie" for Royal Navy history nuts and can be included, by request, with any model purchase from tlarmodels.com

Thanks for looking in, Mates!

Nicely done sir.

"Galapagos sighted off the larboard bow, Captain."

Several unsuccessful attempts have been made at HMS Surprise' staysails. Anchors and flatting "shinies" coming up.

Is this the Capt Jack's Surprise or the former Bunker Hill sloop Surprise?

Captain "Lucky Jack" Aubrey's command sir.

This morning's order was "All Hands! Make Sail!"
So both of mine turned to.
HMS Speedy's main gaff boom is too long by about 1/3, but I like it. She's my Brig. I will do exactly as I please.
What's in a name?

The "Make Sail command does not limit one to a single vessel. The 1785 Bonhomme Richard will be included in this evolution.
One must be in the proper state of mind to hang 1/700 scale "toilet paper".
Not too much coffee, and appropriate music.

Big ships (?!?) are MUCH easier to rig than smaller ones in this scale.

Wow, They look great.
