MEDDO Posted May 5, 2014 #31 Posted May 5, 2014 I like the contrast of the different colours in the masting and rigging. Amazed that this is your first build.

Dimitris71 Posted May 5, 2014 Author #32 Posted May 5, 2014 (edited) Very nice work. Are you adding sails? Good morning Rich.Thank you for stopping by and for your kind comments.I'm not planning to add sails , because i feel that adding sails hides a big part of the details of the construction.

DBorgens Posted May 5, 2014 #35 Posted May 5, 2014 Dimitris, Excellent work on the rigging and ship details. I like your white thread for the sails, they give a nice definition. She is a very nice addition to the Bluenose fleet. Well done. Dave B Dimitris71 1 Quote Current build: HMS Pegasus, English Pinnace (on hold) Completed build: MS Bluenose, Skippercraft

guycnicholas Posted November 25, 2014 #46 Posted November 25, 2014 (edited) Greetings Dimitris, I am looking to get my first model, and yours was one of the suggested models. Would you mind giving it a rating for a first timer? Were the instructions clear? Another ship I liked was the HMS Snake by Caldercraft, but I am concerned it may be a bit much for a first kit (http://www.cornwallmodelboats.co.uk/acatalog/caldercraft_hms_snake.html) Regards, Guy Edited November 25, 2014 by guycnicholas Quote

In this forum you'll find information, techniques and solutions to anything you might encounter during your build. As far as the Bluenose model is concerned, I would personally rate it as one of easy to medium difficulty (note that I am a beginner myself too). I would strongly recommend this ship for a first time build. The manual is easy to understand with clear instructions. Nevertheless should you find it difficult in any way, all forum members including me are willing to help you at any point. When I started this build i got a lot of help from the members of a Greek Forum and then i discovered msw. Regarding Snake by Caldercraft i believe that it is probably a bit more complex. You could try that one after the Bluenose. Feel free to ask anything you might need.
