Bluenose by Gary D - Billing Boats - 1:75

Thank you very much for the replies and recommendations. I will definitely follow through with both ideas. Once I set up my workstation I will take some photos and post them. I get the feeling I can move forward from this step without any of the fittings to see if I have it it takes to actually do this after 45 years of thinking about it from time to time. I believe my next step is making a hull smoother finding out what filler to use to smooth it out further. I’m not too far away from painting the hall I don’t think. Thanks again.

Been reading your build post and finding it helpful as I am getting back into picking up where I left off 45 years ago on the billing bluenose 1:75. My one and only attempt at this but I’ve started planning after completing the hull in my “youth”. not sure how this forum works or if you’ll see this since I know it’s been several years but I’m sure I’ll be referring back to your post and the other responses as I attempt to get back into my project and complete it. Found your post both encouraging And somewhat concerning as to my ability to accomplish it.

I am in the process of picking up where I left off 45+ years ago. I am new to this forum and ship building in general. My wife got me a Christmas gift early in our marriage. Assembled the hull w planking and the moves and career put everything on hold. So far I’m planning by reviewing info I can find online, creating a workplace, deciding what tools, I need and my next step. I’m trying to find out about what fittings I need and where to get them as none were included in kit back then. And that scale (1:75) is no longer made by Billings. I’ve worked through some builds on this forum and will continue till I feel ready. Any advice greatly appreciated. Gary D
