Bluenose by genericDave - FINISHED - Model Shipways - 1:64 Scale

[StevePareles]

These hand made Bluenose sails are breathtaking. I am building the Benjamin W Latham. I wish to ask someone with a sewing machine to do the sails. That' lame, I know.  I have never sewn and desperately wish to delegate the work task. Would anyone be willing to locate presewn sails for this model (I have not seen any listed) or make them for me for a fee?

Hi. I'm currently building the Bluenose myself and using Bob's practicum. I think you were using it too. I'm soon to be starting the rigging but I notice from the practicum, Bob doesn't do all the lines. I haven't started yet but it's my first ship and I'm trying to get in as much detail as possible. I've been following your build and it's helped me so much with small detail that's hard to make out on the plans. I want to replicate the rigging as much as I can. Bobs practicum has helped me so much but I'm the kind of person who wants as much detail in as I can. Any advice? Your brass bits are amazing. I won't be replicating those like you have but I'm doing my best. Just a little worried about all the rigging to do and that I'll leave out stuff. Not sure if I'm going to ad sails but I at least want the rigging done properly. Thanks in advance.

Hi Dave!

I was NC recently visiting my family, and made the “ mistake “ of visiting a great little model shop in Hendersonville- resulting in extra luggage on the way home in the form of Bluenose by Model Shipways!

I’ve read your terrific build log, and noted your reference to Bob Hunt’s “ practicum ” but can’t seem to track it down. Is there any help you can give me as to how to get it?

Hope you don’t mind the question!

im currently starting on the rigging of HMS Speedy by Vanguard Models, so it will be a while before I open the box, but I would enjoy reading the Bluenose practicum….

Best wishes from Gloucestershire, Spring is trying to show its face!

Hi, John.  The Bluenose practicum is available at Bob Hunts site, Lauck Street Shipyard at https://lauckstreetshipyard.com/.  I used it when starting out my Bluenose as it was my first wood model build.  I hope you don't mind me jumping in on this.
