Bulwarks for the Bluenose II, Artensenia Latina


Recommended Posts

Having trouble with the bulwarks of the Bluenose II. I have a template made by taking a rubbing of the top plank through a sheet of cardstock (thin). by pressing againsi the top plank i got an impression and was able to draw a line over it. Yet after i cut it out it still seems a bit wrong. I managed to fit the template onto a bit of basswood that was expendable. Am I right that this piece should be 10mm wide? I think so. My main problem is that i have the curve right but at the prow the bulwark wants to twist out away from the ship. The deck overhangs the top plank a bit and causes this twist. So is this the way it ought to be? Picture is worth a thousand words and all that.image.thumb.jpg.88b40a9d00a4b0fef0b88ea4ac663f7e.jpg

Addition: the bulwarks should be even, not dropped down. The taffrail adds that level change impression.
