DBorgens Posted April 27, 2014 #9 Posted April 27, 2014 Dimitrius, Excellent work and so fast. Bluenose (either version) is a great ship to learn on. I too an curious what you plan to build next. Please write a build log, many experienced modelers will offer help and encouragement. Keep up the good work.

bhermann Posted April 27, 2014 #10 Posted April 27, 2014 Dimitris - She is looking really fine - lots of nice details and finishes. I particularly like the painted scroll work around the hawse hole. Very sharp and clean. Looking forward to more photos. Are the booms and gaffs up next?

Dimitris71 Posted April 27, 2014 Author #13 Posted April 27, 2014 Hi Dimitriis71 Congratulations on your fine build the Bluenose 11 via AL. This was my first build many years ago when I was working as a consult in Montreal, PQ. A very enjoyable build I must say, I finished mine under full sail, my Admiral volunteered to sew the sails and did a great job on them I must say. Are you planning to add sails or not ? Bluenose was a great ship to learn on, you have sure shown that you have a lot of skills. I suppose by now that you will be looking at an even harder ship to build, mine was the Cutty Sark again under full sail, thanks again to my Admiral who loves to sew. Keep up the great work and above all, ENJOY. Regards Lawrence Good morning Lawrence, it's always nice to have people helping you with a build . I'm not planning to add sails , because i feel that adding sails hides a big part of the details of the construction. As far as the next project is concerned i'm considering a ship which i really like , Amerigo Vespucci by Mantua. Thanks for your encouragement and kind reply. Take care, Dimitris canoe21 1 Quote Current Build: Amerigo Vespucci -Mantua- 1:100 scale Completed Build logs: Bluenose II AL 1:75 scale Gallery: Bluenose II AL 1:75 scale Future Build: Royal Caroline -Panart- 1:47 scale

Bob Dear Bob, thanks so much for your kind comments! it's been a pleasure working on this beautiful ship. As far as the paint job is concerned, it was a bit of a struggle, since i had to paint it five times to be satisfied by the result!! The booms ang gaffs are up next as you mentioned.

It was a tough job, cause i had to paint it five times to get this result, since i had no previous experience in painting. Luckilly, there is a model site in Greece, from which i had a lot of support and tips on how to do it.
