This is the old LifeLike kit of the Bonhomme Richard, John Paul Jones's famous ship from the Revolutionary War. Just finished this baby last night!

Rigging was made using thread and stretched sprue. Shrouds and ratlines were made on the dreaded Airfix "loom" with thread and white glue. Hull of the model is about 4" long.

Great work!

Thou art multi-talented!

Awesome work and on such a small hull. :thumbsup:

Thanks guys! Much appreciated!

Stunning!

Ye're quite the shipwright!

Beautiful job!

Great work, and congratulations on attempting and finishing the rigging threads. I can't bring myself to start on a Viking ship kit, which only needs one or two threads!

Thanks! My approach to the rigging is to do just a little bit at a time...one or two lines a night...that's all I can stand! :rolleyes:

thats how I would do it. IF that much lol
nice work

I applaud your patience with the rigging, it really came out looking nice. Great job!

Thanks. It (rigging) really makes a huge difference, particularly on these small kits that would otherwise look kind of lacking in detail.

Very nice job! The rigging looks great.
