Dimitrius,

Excellent work and so fast. Bluenose (either version) is a great ship to learn on. I too an curious what you plan to build next. Please write a build log, many experienced modelers will offer help and encouragement. Keep up the good work.

Dimitris -

 

She is looking really fine - lots of nice details and finishes.  I particularly like the painted scroll work around the hawse hole.  Very sharp and clean.  Looking forward to more photos.  Are the booms and gaffs up next?

Great paint job. The red underbody color is very good. Nice crisp waterline as well.

Hi  Dimitriis71

 

Congratulations on your fine build the Bluenose 11 via AL. This was my first build many years ago when I was working as a consult in Montreal, PQ. A very enjoyable build I must say, I finished mine under full sail, my Admiral volunteered to sew the sails and did a great job on them I must say. Are you planning to add sails or not ?  Bluenose was a great ship to learn on, you have sure shown that you have a lot of skills. I suppose by now that you will be looking at an even harder ship to build, mine was the Cutty Sark again under full sail, thanks again to my Admiral who loves to sew.

Keep up the great work and above all,                                       ENJOY.

 

Regards   Lawrence

Good morning Lawrence, it's always nice to have people helping you with a build . I'm not planning to add sails , because i feel that adding sails hides a big part of the details of the construction. As far as the next project is concerned i'm considering a ship which i really like , Amerigo Vespucci by Mantua.

Thanks for your encouragement and kind reply.

Take care, Dimitris

Dear Bob, thanks so much for your kind comments! it's been a pleasure working on this beautiful ship. As far as the paint job is concerned, it was a bit of a struggle, since i had to paint it five times to be satisfied by the result!! The booms ang gaffs are up next as you mentioned. Take care, Dimitris

Russ

Thanks a lot Russ!!! It was a tough job, cause i had to paint it five times to get this result, since i had no previous experience in painting. Luckilly, there is a model site in Greece, from which i had a lot of support and tips on how to do it.

Take care, Dimitris

Top work on that build Dimitrius . That's a very smooth hull and fine paint finish you've got there. Looking forward to see more from you.
