Good morning Brian and thank you for your comment and for visiting my build log. You are probably right about this kit . I intent to study carefully the plans and instructions of the ship as well as get help from the forum, before proceeding to the build. Take care Dimitris -

Hello to all!! At last, Amerigo Vespucci has arrived! This is my second ship build. First impressions: wood quality is better than that of my previous build and the manual, consists of 9 large sheets with general instructions (compared to the step by step manual of the previous build). Attached you may find photos from unpacking the kit and first dry fit. And now comes my first question: Starting from the bottom of the keel, at which distance should I carve the rabbet line? Thank you in advance for your help Dimitris

Hello Guy, Welcome to msw! In this forum you'll find information, techniques and solutions to anything you might encounter during your build. As far as the Bluenose model is concerned, I would personally rate it as one of easy to medium difficulty (note that I am a beginner myself too). I would strongly recommend this ship for a first time build. The manual is easy to understand with clear instructions. Nevertheless should you find it difficult in any way, all forum members including me are willing to help you at any point. When I started this build i got a lot of help from the members of a Greek Forum and then i discovered msw. Regarding Snake by Caldercraft i believe that it is probably a bit more complex. You could try that one after the Bluenose. Feel free to ask anything you might need. Kind regards, Dimitris

Good morning Michael. Thank you for encouragement words. I had in mind to create the shape of the sails with the white thread. Cheers Dimitris
-
Good morning Rich.Thank you for stopping by and for your kind comments.I'm not planning to add sails , because i feel that adding sails hides a big part of the details of the construction. Regards Dimitris
