There is no disadvantage, but if you bevel bulkheads it's a lot easier to do before installing / gluing and you can see them line up with the bearding line while being flush with keel in the middle Also it gives you indication that a bulkhead is out, did have to add thin strips to build up Best regards Richard

Hi Arthur did write a reply to your question on my Bluenose hope you saw it and here are some more tips. I read the instruction manual and went with the stages, they are very clear and I had no issues. Make sure you add the reference line to the Keel pieces also the bearding line, and then add reference line to all the bulkheads ( this will help to see if you need to adjust any height issues) and at the same time trace and mark all bulkheads with side bevel on both sides and then sand these before installing this really does help down the road. These are all the tracings I did You can see the reference lines in this picture Hope this helps and have fun Regards Richard

Your workmanship is absolutely brilliant Gary, also your subtle weathering which make it look so real 👍 Regards Richard

Hi Arthur thanks very much for your kind comment hope what I have posted helps all Modelshipways Bluenose Regarding the keel pieces they do not fit one another and it is the middle piece, lay the keel pieces on the drawing and line up the top if you have to adjust the keyways between all pieces do so then you will be adding some wood to the bottom of the middle keel piece. From the picture you will see how much was added and also the left keyway you can see I added little stipes as well Hope that helps. Regards Richard

Hi Per thanks for your kind comment its quite tricky to make but just take your time. Thanks Joe she's coming along slowly Thanks for looking in Gary took awhile to think how I was going to do the scroll, but it has turned out how I envisioned, Captains cabin is coming along just not sure if this was how it was in the Bluenose. Regarding the work area, it is very comfortable work area, started with this Then made all tables Hi Dave thanks for your kind comment Thanks Bob they have turned out how I wanted them to look Hi Gary thanks for looking in, do like thinking how to make, then making/soldering small items Thanks to everyone for you comment do apricate it very much and also for all the likes Regards Richard

Just caught up Tom looking very good 👍 Regards Richard

I was wondering how I would do the scroll around the hawse pipe, I tried to carve the scroll but the kit supplied wood is no good for this so thought about painting it but trying to make both the same 🤔 So came up with making the scroll from .018" brass rod, using a pattern from LB Jensons book, in the book it does say ( these were drawn free hand cutting in with a chisel and painting with gold leaf) and also says scrolls done in summer seemed to have more knobs than those done in winter, being in flower, so to speak. This is the start of the two scrolls as you can see there were some very small parts to solder together. One completed and then I filed it down These are the tools I used. Now got to finish the second one and then paint yellow same as cove. Thanks again to all who comment and for all the likes do apricate. Regards Richard

Thanks Gary was playing about with a 1/32 scale Lancaster changing the cockpit area but still doing small parts to the Bluenose. Regards Richard

Coming along brilliantly Dave 👍 Regards Richard

Thanks for your comments Wally and Dave, these are the drawings from LB Jenson book the Bluenose 11 (these are to help with my build if not allowed please delete) He shows a drawing of the Bluenose which I have used for stove and chimney and the other two show the inside of the Schooner Caroline Rose. This is part of the Captain cabin This is where I am now and will paint it white inside. Will be adding some curtains where their beds go Also got the cove painted and also the bowsprit painted and installed Until next time Regards Richard

Getting close to a year without a post 🤔 where does time go 🙄 A while ago I started making some parts inside the main cabin, used the information from LB Jensons book but they are not from the Bluenose, they are based on photographs of the Schooner Caroline Rose. Just wondering if the inside would be painted white Regards Richard

Brilliant rigging Joe do like your baggywrinkle do have a few to make for the Bluenose, do you have a drawing how you made them. Did you use the rope from the kit or did you buy or did you make your own. Regards Richard

Not nice to hear pinging, could you put a small bow in the bowsprit so you don't need to tighten the rigging as much 🤔 you might get this pinging again 1 month or a year or two later, just a thought. Regards Richard
