Thanks Fred you need to speak up sooner(ha) well, building models is a learning process always..
Leif your observation is accurate as the vintage of the rigging and size of the vessels is quite similar. The hulls differ and the Bounty less armed but the vintage of the rigging is close, with Cleo from 1770's and Bounty fitted out in 1780's. This was about the time that coppering hulls came about, but Cleo was earlier a bit. I think it would be cool to make a card ship with a coppered hull....
