Bluenose by TerryPat - Model Shipways - 1:64

[TerryPat]

The kit arrived today. Christmas in July! I knd of feel like a kid again.

It's a blue box just like in all of the build logs I've seen.. Good start.  Lots of wood sticks and slabs as expected. 

You can see by my side view pic of the keel and bulkhead stock, that the keel is basswood and the bulkheads are plywood. I was hoping for basswood bulkheads as well. Seems plywood is not going to sand as nicely as basswood during the fairing process . Oh well, I'll manage. 

I probably won't start any building until sometime in September. In the meantime I'll do research,  read the instructions,  study the plans,  do kit inventory, look at build logs, etc.. on rainy days.

I appreciated any and all suggestions, guidance, and help.

Thanks

Terry

Thank you. Glad you're following. I'll have plenty of questions. I'm already getting a lot from your build log
