CPDDET Posted February 3, 2021 Share #39 Posted February 3, 2021 Seems like many parts and pieces leave a lot to be desired. My MS Bluenose was the same way. Just have to do the best you can with what you have.

CPDDET Posted February 3, 2021 Share #40 Posted February 3, 2021 Unless, or untill, you reach the point of scratch building your models, the errors in the kit are just a fact of life. I have already accepted that my Bluenose, which is my first build, is more of a learning tool for future builds. I doubt anyone becomes an accomplished shiprwright untill they work their way through the first build. Stick with it and make each stage your best effort. You will be surprised at how much you skill improves as you progress through the build. popeye the sailor and dragzz 2 Quote Current build: NRG Half Hull Previous build: MS Bluenose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPDDET Posted February 4, 2021 Share #45 Posted February 4, 2021 Yes, it's great for the brain. Just figuring out how to build each piece really expands our knowledge of tools and how to use them to our advantage. Bluenose is my first build and I view it as a primer for future builds. So much to learn. popeye the sailor and Yorky 2 Quote Current build: NRG Half Hull Previous build: MS Bluenose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allanyed Posted February 8, 2021 Share #48 Posted February 8, 2021 Drag I am enjoying following your build thank you for sharing. Regarding the straps, I agree with you regarding epoxy, but as you have already painted the hull you will be gluing to the paint regardless of the type of glue that you choose to use, rather than gluing to the wood unless you scrape off the paint. I would try the epoxy, but also drill the straps before installing to take bolts. Small brass nails work well as bolts and are pretty close to scale at 1:48 or even 1:64 and add a touch of realism. I have found brass nails with the shank at about 0.018" diameter and the head about 0.03 so they look pretty good because they are not overly large. I recall seeing that some folks use brass or copper wire to make small bolts and peen them over to form a head but I find this extremely difficult at our scales without marring the surrounding wood.
