More work on the boats.
Stanchions cut and fixed to inside of hull, then trimmed.
Fitted gunwale covers.
Boat ready for varnish. Oar locks are made from brass thread and fitted in drilled holes on gunwale cover.
These are the two rope tie-offs to go on deck. On small items like this I find it convenient to drill a small hole at the base and glue a piece of wire. Easy to handle them when painting When fixing on deck trim it down to about 5mm, drill a hole on deck, same wire diameter, and glue it with wire inserted in the hole. Much stronger bond.

The next day, I masked off the deck and hull and spray primed and painted the stanchions and waterway. I must say much quicker and easier than painting by brush. The only problem is in a few spots where the Tamiya masking tape was not pressed down firmly enough, I had some creeping of the paint underneath. I have since scraped off some with a razor blade and sanding, but there still is a blemish on the wood. It is a tough and tight corner to completely erase the blemish. Any suggestions how to completely rid the paint blemish?

Hello All,
I have just become a member and am already half way through my second build, Bluenose II. I have already built the Juan Sebastian Elcano and now I'm building this kit to gain more experience before I go for a more challenging project, maybe the HMS Victory 1:72 scale. From what I have seen in this forum I am sure I will learn a lot. I haven't kept any photos of my work in progress for the Bluenose so I uploaded a few images showing what I have finished up to now. I will upload more images as I go along and probably put forward a few (maybe a lot) questions. I will appreciate any comments and hints where I can improve.
Hull and deck finished, painted and varnished.
Bowsprit fitted as well.
Have prepared most of the cabins, etc to go on deck.
Stern Cabin
Central mess room
Now finishing the boats to go on deck.
Thanking you for all the support which I'm sure I will receive
Regards
Robert

Hello Dimitris,
Thank you for your nice comment. I'm enjoying building it too. Today I watched your build log for it. Nice work too.

Hi Sjors, thanks for the tip......I agree scaled planks are much easier to work with for the top planking and as you can see that's exactly what i'm doing
