The ShipCraft series is a comprehensive guide to constructing and modifying model kits of renowned warships. While previously focusing on plastic and resin models from the 20th century, this latest volume takes a bold departure by exploring a period sailing ship, which is available in various materials and scales. This necessitates adapting the standard approach, but the core principles of the series remain unchanged. Bounty, a merchant vessel acquired for a special mission to the South Pacific, is renowned for the dramatic mutiny against Captain Bligh and his epic open-boat voyage. The events surrounding the ship have inspired numerous books, films, and a widespread fascination with ship modeling. Despite its fame and the extensive range of kits inspired by it, there are lingering questions about various aspects of the vessel's fitting and painting. This volume aims to address these concerns by reconstructing convincing color schemes for Bounty, both as a merchant vessel and in naval service. The modeling section provides an in-depth review of available kits, highlights commercial accessory sets for super-detailing, and offers tips on modifying and enhancing the basic kit, including the complexities of rigging. An extensive photographic gallery showcases selected high-quality models across various scales, accompanied by comprehensive coverage of research references. As with previous volumes in the series, this book offers an unparalleled level of visual information, encompassing paint schemes, models, line drawings, and photographs. It stands as the ultimate reference for enthusiasts and modelers alike.
