Thanks for the kind comments Geoff and CaptainSteve. I'm sure the rigging is going to be a lot of fun. -
Thanks Jay. You are too kind.

Hey Jim. Your Bluenose looks great. I built the same model a few years back, partially. I finished the hull and the deck details but never rigged it. A friend came over to the house one day and loved it just the way it was, so I gave it to them as a gift.

Update. I finished building all the carronades and the two cannons. Not too difficult but tedious. I think the kit design for the two cannons could have been better. There are two parts that had to be scratch built that probably could have been laser cut. Oh well...I managed. I have not started rigging them yet. I plan to order some replacement blocks first. I also built the ships wheel. All the wood parts have to be built from scratch. The practicum suggested using styrene. I chose to use wood as I saw on another build log (thanks Jay). Now I move on to the skylight. As a side note, I plan on starting on a side project that will be known as my "long build". I have had that particular ship on the shelf for a while and have been dying to get started on it. Right now I'm assembling the framing jig that came with the kit. That's pretty boring so I won't be posting that in a build log. Once I start work on the actual model I'll start the log. Armed and dangerous!

Bens right, I envy all of you that are able to attend the workshop. -
Birds or the model, what was that cat thinking?
-
looks good. what was your cutting tool?
-
Looking good. It looks like everything is still standing so far.

Nice work on the Jolly Boat. Excellent photography also.
-
A true work of art.
-
this is a cool ,model. i like the use of rope.
-
That puts it in perspective. It will be a large finished model. It should allow for some very fine detail.

I'd go with darthbuilder

Robbyn Go to Model expos main web page, click on special offers, then you'll see the sales.

well done! that must have been a lot of work considering that Jim Beam was the beverage of choice.
-
looks like you are off to a good start. I've never considered milling my own wood.
-
This will be a cool model. I can't imagine the size at that scale. Build on!

I think this is the company Mark is referring to. These blades were recommended by Greg Herbert and they are good blades. http://www.sawbird.com/scroll_saw_blades.htm I ordered the double tooth reverse #3.

by the way, you can see the instructions on model-expo on the product page under documents. http://www.modelexpo-online.com/product.asp?ITEMNO=MS2260

Scott, The instruction book is one of the best you will find in a kit.
-
Looking good Geoff! I like the netting.
-
thanks Harvey!

Thanks Geoff and 42rocker. The blocks will be tedious so if I do one carronade per day I should be done in 20 days. It might be time to start that side project I've been thinking about to break things up a bit.
