Admiral Rick Posted January 17 #33 Posted January 17 Hey both of yous get.back to work so I can follow your builds. Terry and Ellie both of your builds are coming along great!! Terry good news I should be starting Bluenose next week now that i finished Bluenose repair from the 30lb rampaging rouge Maine Tabby Coon and as soon as the Snorting Bull Emblems come in and are applied ( coming in Monday ) to U-47 Conning Tower. Up to around 1941 German subs did not carry #’s (until around the time the US was entering the war) only carried Emblems. Finding the decals short of fabricating the antenna was the toughest part of the build. As said before get back to work. Best Admiral Rick Ellie_ 1

Admiral Rick Posted January 18 #38 Posted January 18 (edited) Terry I am Getting ready to start Bluenose build and getting excited. Separated all little bags into compartments in the Plano Case. Nothing I hate more than looking for parts in that dam round container Model Shipways puts them in. This container is great because the separators can be adjusted to size. Will start the builds as soon as I totally finish U-47. All it needs is to be mounted and Snorting Bull emblems on the conning tower. I was hoping they would come In tomorrow but I found out tomorrow is a holiday so I should finish it some day this week and then start Bluenose.

I go hunting for parts as needed which can be an annoying chore. The Plano Case is cheep and you can arrange it any way you want. I used to hunt thru that dam plastic container and swear then I finally looked for an answer and when I found this case it worked out perfectly. This morning it took about 15 minutes to put all the parts in it and I am ready to start. Remember when I sent you the wheel well I have 4 containers that hold 100s of parts. These containers I got at Walmart for $7. If any of my U-47 crew need something they can’t find, message me I might have it and Peter on eBay is also a great source. I look on eBay under model ship parts lot and if I see a lot very very very reasonable I will buy it When ever I am in a build and I drop a part (the last one) I can usually find a replacement in one of the containers.

TerryPat Posted January 18 Author #44 Posted January 18 Build update: Progressing slowly. -drilled all holes in the deck using the included template. I was a little nervous to drill holes along the outer hull rails but it went very smoothly. Had to make up 29 stropped blocks to attach to the deck for rigging. After a lot of searching for stropping methods I settled on a method inspired by Olha Batchvarov in one of her YouTube videos. My methed differs where she used thin black line or thread and I used 32 guage black annealed wire. And her results were much better than mine. But good enough. I made a tying jig with a drill bit into a block of wood. - I built up deck structures using the supplied laser cut pieces except for the roofing which I replaced with walnut pieces. I didn't cut openings for skylights and windows. I may paint black under the skylight and window brass grates to simulate openings. We'll see. I covered the sides of the structures with left over walnut planking. -Installed the brass hand railing. In the following pics nothing is glued down. All for now David Lester, Ellie_ and Admiral Rick 3 Terry Current builds: Bluenose by TerryPat - Model Shipways - 1:64 https://modelshipworld.com/topic/38747-bluenose-by-terrypat-model-shipways-164/?do=findComment&comment=1107447 Endeavour J class by TerryPat - Amati - 1:80 https://modelshipworld.com/topic/39088-endeavour-j-class-by-terrypat-amati-180/?do=findComment&comment=1116900

I want to leave it natural so I think it looks a little better. Hope you had some good catches in Outer Banks. Did you get a striper? I'll be looking forward to two weeks in Florida around that time. Need to thaw out Terry, We changed plans and headed to Florida after Xmas (Cape San Blas), it is a lot warmer there. We will be down there until the beginning of April (currently home in VA to get a few things taken care of. Heading back out in a couple of weeks). I didn't get any stripers but a lot of whiting.

Bolsoy Posted January 26 #53 Posted January 26 On 1/5/2026 at 10:57 PM, TerryPat said: I started the deck planking by running a plank along the centerline from stern to bow. Instructions call for using two deck planks along the centerline. The picture of the model on the front of the kit box shows these planks as darker planks than the surrounding deck planks. But they didn't supply anything with the kit so I cut my own from my 1/32 inch walnut sheet. For the remaining deck planking, I cut the supplied planking strips into 4 inch pieces for the individual planks. I started the planking in the middle of the model and staggered the planks by 1 inch which results in the pattern repeating every 4th plank row. -Finished the deck planking. -Sanded smooth with 220, 320, and 400 grit papers. -Applied a few coats of Tru-Oil wipe on finish. -I wasn't thrilled with the kit supplied model stand so I built my own which was inspired by @eki0813 and @David Lester J class build stands. Both of my builds are at hull completion. Next will be deck fixtures for both. All for now. Very nice result, and a nice decision to make the planks visible. I did partly the same when I built the 1:80 (and 1:35) of the same (you can see pictures on read made models on this site). Will be nice to see how you continue with the mast and sails. Good luck Admiral Rick 1

TerryPat Posted Thursday at 09:46 PM Author #55 Posted Thursday at 09:46 PM (edited) - built and Installed the mast. -installed mast shtouds -built the boom -glued deck structures in place -added plenty of deck bling.. It's a crowded deck -Installed blocks. Next steps will be rigging and deciding full sail? No sails? Or furled main sail on the boom only? 🤔 Edited Thursday at 09:51 PM by TerryPat David Lester 1 Terry Current builds: Bluenose by TerryPat - Model Shipways - 1:64 https://modelshipworld.com/topic/38747-bluenose-by-terrypat-model-shipways-164/?do=findComment&comment=1107447 Endeavour J class by TerryPat - Amati - 1:80 https://modelshipworld.com/topic/39088-endeavour-j-class-by-terrypat-amati-180/?do=findComment&comment=1116900
Admiral Rick Posted Thursday at 10:46 PM #56 Posted Thursday at 10:46 PM (edited) Endeavour is coming out great. Very impressive. I remember when you got it and your wife ? another kit and your son called you 2 kit Terry. When you build 2 at the same time you don’t get bored and it’s more fun. I am waiting for my son to send me the Whitehall Skiff he designed and had 2 kits laser cut. He might even market them if they turn out good. He made the kits because he plans on building the real boat. When he joined MSW he posted pictures of the boat which is made in Maine. He fell in love with it and decided to build his own. He is a very skilled woodworker along with being an architect and a contractor so 2 kits Rick will start his second kit. I usually have multiple builds going at the same time SO I DON’T GET BORED! and loose interest. Edited Thursday at 10:49 PM by Admiral Rick

Admiral Rick Posted Friday at 06:43 AM #58 Posted Friday at 06:43 AM (edited) Terry this is the kit he is making. He just had it laser cut This is the real thing. When I get it we are going to build it together in a joint log. I wish I had him laser cut 3 of them so you could have built one along with us in our joint log.

SaltyScot Posted Saturday at 04:35 PM #60 Posted Saturday at 04:35 PM Very clean lines, Terry. You have made a good job of her and should be proud. As far as the sails go, I remember being at that stage with the same dilemma. Now that she is sitting here with full sails I am glad I went that route. She was a racing yacht mate, she should be displayed with all her sails in my opinion.
