Here are some photos of HMS Bounty, built and modified from the Artesania kit by one of our two lady members, Margaret O'Nelll. Margaret is a retired nurse, and has also had a varied life having worked as a deck hand on a fishing trawler in her younger days, as well as helping her late husband run a farm. She goes sailing periodically on "Soren Larsen", a tall ship built in Denmark in 1948-49, now based in New Zealand. "Soren Larsen" starred in the TV series, The Onedin Line, and also appeared in movies such as The French Lieutenant's Woman, Count of Monte Cristo and Shackleton.
Margaret built the model of HMS Bounty for the Ballina Naval and Maritime Museum, and is also involved in restoration and refurbishment of other models in the museum's collection. She brought the model to our club's sailing day this morning, where I took the photos. All members present were extremely impressed, and I felt the photos were worth sharing here on the forum.
Peter.
PS The photos were taken inside our club's storage container, as there was a 30 knot wind blowing which may have caused havoc with the rigging.
