Nirvana Posted January 21, 2019 Author Share #242 Posted January 21, 2019 Time to glue down the fife rail, the boom support is not completely finished. Somehow I like the contrast in-between the rail/boom support/belaying pins. This instead of having it all white. popeye the sailor, Jack12477 and Bobby 3 Quote Please, visit our Facebook page!

Nirvana Posted May 26, 2019 Author Share #248 Posted May 26, 2019 I have finally been able to work on my dear Bluenose. Starting up where I left off wasn't to hard. A light clean up of the work-area and I was ready again. Creating the Gammon iron for the bowsprit was easier than I thought, using the plywood from bulkheads and false keel, I had the right thickness and with a bowsprit ready shaped I clamped it down and used a plier to get the angles. The aft hatch was created with a center block and strips on the side. The sides are taller to sit the umber top piece. Again this will be natural colored just like the other hatch. mtdoramike, Henke, Duanelaker and 2 others 5 Quote Please, visit our Facebook page!

Nirvana Posted July 4, 2019 Author Share #254 Posted July 4, 2019 I had a lot of thoughts around the main cabin, and finally decided to make it out from solid basswood. I am so glad having Byrnes thickness sander, to get the material down to right thickness before applying any roofmaterial. In order to get the cabin shaped correctly I started hollowing it out, to get some walls. More chiseling is to be done. This will also allow to create the port and starboard skylights. Placing a coarse sandpaper over the area where the cabin is to be located I was able to create uniformed "walls".

Nirvana Posted August 3, 2019 Author Share #257 Posted August 3, 2019 (edited) As I am cheating when building the main cabin, instead of planking the sides I am using a sewing thread to create the illusion of plank separation. When 16" away I can't tell if it's scribed or not. The line is glued into places with diluted wooden glue.

Each move is one frame, then it's just a matter of time of display for the frame. It's a fun feature. I can create a tutorial if someone wants to know how I did it.

I have not seen that done on other model builds of this ship. Getting ready to start this build myself so just want to understand the why. John Per, if I may. I suspect John is referring to the tops of the bulkheads that become some of the deck stanchions. My recollection is that the kit-provided bulkheads were thicker than the stanchion dimension, and that is the reason for thinning the top of the bulkhead above where the decking is laid, to make those tops the same thickness as the stanchions. For my build (many years back) I simply cut off all the bulkhead extensions and installed new stanchions above the deck from end to end. If I'm wrong, John will post a reference to the post he is talking about, and we'll move on from there Bob popeye the sailor, Duanelaker, Tigersteve and 1 other 4 Quote Current build -- MS Bluenose Future build - MS Flying Fish "A ship is safe in harbor, but that's not what ships are for." - William G.

Nirvana Posted July 28, 2020 Author Share #270 Posted July 28, 2020 Bob, I don't mind at all. Yes, that's what I did. It was the stanchions I did it to.
