Freshman Course HMAV Bounty
This Freshman Course is based on the Caldercraft kit, HMAV Bounty. This course is currently under development and should be complete by the end of May or early June 2010. The first 9 chapters are complete and will be sent immediately if you purchase this course.
This course has many procedures that are applicable to other HMAV Bounty kits. Please keep in mind that the overall design of a different kit may differ than the design of the Caldercraft kit this course is based on but most of the deck details, copper plating and masting and rigging will be the same.
No modifications are made to the design of the kit. The hull planking consists of two layers and is partially painted. Copper plating is applied to the lower hull. The course also covers three masted masting and rigging.
With this course, the modeler will learn the basics of planking the hull of the model ship, how to build deck furniture, masts and spars, and how to do three masted rigging. The course teaches many of the basics of model shipbuidling and is a stepping stone to more complex models.
The course comes on CD and will have a total of 12 chapters once completed. There will be two optional photo CD's, once completed. The first will contain all photos taken for chapters 1 - 6 and is available now. The second will contain all photos taken for chapters 7 - 12 and will be released when the final 3 chapters are completed.
The kit must be purchased separately and is available from Aeromarine Laminates. It does not appear on their website but they are the importers of Caldercraft kits. Give them a call. You may also purchase the kit from the Ship Wright Shop
Refund restrictions apply. Please see our refund page for details.
