Bluenose by Benjamin S - POB - from Model Shipways plans

[Benjamin S]

Hello all, and welcome to what will be a scratch build POB of the Model Shipways Bluenose in 1:64 scale, joining the ranks of builds here on MSW.

 

After taking a break to focus on finishing high school, I’m excited to get back into this and use the shipyard again. As a Canadian, I’ve always been a big fan of the Bluenose, and I’m really looking forward to building her for the first time. This is also the first time I’ve purchased plans from Model Shipways, and I’m excited to skip the printing process—this will definitely speed things up. Thankfully there are build logs here chock full of helpful info for one building Bluenose, especially a beautiful scratch build done by Hamilton which l will certainly be referencing often.

 

My goal with this build is not so much historical accuracy as it is to introduce myself to posting on MSW as well as using proper materials (where my budget allows), which should improve both the quality and speed of building this vessel. I’ve been planking hulls with coffee stirrers for far too long, haha! I’ll no doubt have a lot of questions along the way, and I’d really appreciate any guidance or constructive criticism as I figure this out.

 

At the moment, I’m waiting for the plans to arrive, but once they do, I’ll kick off the build and get started.

 

Best Regards,

Benjamin
