Thanks Dave! I'm currently finishing the dory kids and oars. I'm behind on my updates! Once that's done I will be done with everything on the deck. Next step will be starting on the masts and rigging. On June 15th I reached the 1 year mark since I started on my Bluenose.
How are you coming along? I signed on to follow your blog, but haven't seen anything in a while. Hope all is well with you this summer.
Best regards,
Ed

Hi Dave, Although I've been trying to stay true to Bluenose 1, I've used a lot of your ideas and techniques in my build. I am currently working on the fore deck structures. I like what you did with the brass fitting in the skylight holes. Did you make that piece or did you use something you purchased? It looks kind of like a rivet, but I can't find anything small enough. I don't have the tools or skills to make a piece like that. This is my first wooden ship! Thanks, Ed PS. I live out near Yorkville. I see you are also from the Chicago area.

On October 6th someone posted a "Community Map" marker under my name that shows I live in New York. I live in Illinois! Who posted this and how can it be fixed?

Hi Per, Please check my latest post. I have already completed the waterway, including installing the extra supports. I am not real happy with how this looks now. My waterway is not level. Also, the spacing between the stanchions is uneven, so the fake stanchions will not appear to be evenly spaced. I plan to remove the bulkhead stanchions and sand everything level and even. I described this in my last post, including the pictures. I included a couple of questions concerning this in that post. FYI, I received a response from Model Expo regarding returning my paint set. I was told I could ship them back for a full refund. They seem to be a very good company to work with! I think I will use Vallejo paints as you recommended. Can you tell me what Vallejo colors you used for the Reddish Copper below the waterline and the Light Grey Buff for the waterway? The other colors should be pretty straightforward, black, white, yellow. Best regards, Ed
