About the HMS Bounty

This 1:48 scale model, made entirely of wood, offers you the chance to build a naval model by faithfully following centuries-old construction techniques.

The Admiralty model style dates from the 17th century. At the time, naval shipyards would not use drawings and the design of a new ship would be assigned to skilled artisans. In England, specific committees, who worked under the Admiralty, would scrutinise a model before giving the go-ahead for the building of the actual ship. The assessment of all its features was of paramount importance, so these ‘Admiralty models’ as they became known, would reproduce every aspect of the ship including its internal architecture. These models were made by craftsmen whose expertise was acquired over many years and handed down from father to son.

Designed from the construction plans, your Admiralty style model of the Bounty will allow you to understand the structure of the actual ship and to build a model that faithfully replicates the techniques of old.

Specifications of your model

Designed from original drawings
Allows you to assemble the model following centuries-old building techniques
This model is open from both sides, up to the first deck, so you can admire: the keel, the frames, the mast feet, the beams and the internal planking.
The ship's wheel, cannons, galley, bell and many other details faithfully replicate the original vessel's components.
The construction site schematically reproduces the original construction technique in the shipyard. This has a technical and structural function: on the base there are the necessary indications for the positioning of the keel and of the frames that will make up the frame of the hull.
