That is some more nice work. I hear your concern about the waterline marker. I recall sticking a pencil between two heavy Cisco certification books and dragging the levelled hull past it. I also recall not being happy with the result and retaping and painting by eye to fine tune things. As with all things Bluenose, take your time, rework as needed until you are happy with the finished product. Bob

You sure did a great job of diving into the details and have produced a fine end result. Looking forward to where you go from here! Bob

Responding to the February 18th post (don't know how I missed it at the time), I realized after I had installed my chanplates that they actually sit flush with the hull and not proud of it as I did them. I think this may inform the decision whether you include them or not - they would not be very apparent at the 1:64 scale we are building at. Good luck with figuring out the sails, there are too many options to think about and it has brought my build to a halt for years. Cloth sails in general are too thick to maintain scale. I am considering doing them anyway, or maybe doing paper strips to build each sail panel by panel. In any case making photocopies is a good idea! Your work is looking very good to this Bluenose builder! Bob

That is some great work, Dave. The turnbuckles (and the rest of it) look really good! FWIW, I rigged the bowsprit bobstays, guys, backropes, stirrups, footropes, and jib stops right after completing the installation of all the hardware. Like Ed, I was looking to get my feet wet with rigging as Bluenose is my first wooden build. It has been sitting now for several years waiting patiently for my return. Bob

That is a really sweet job, Ed. She came out beautifully. Your time and attention to detail paid off handsomely! You can bet I will be poring through the documentation of the rigging in minute detail as I get back into my build. Thanks for taking the time to capture your process so well. Looking forward to seeing what you do with Rattlesnake! Bob

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
