hamilton Posted February 1, 2018 #62 Posted February 1, 2018 I built this same 1:100 Amati one several years ago and gave it to a close family friend as a birthday gift - she still has it displayed in her living room and it's nice to see it when we go visiting.

kier Posted March 4, 2018 #63 Posted March 4, 2018 Hi Simon, I know I am a bit late from saying a word. I just happened to be browsing and checked into a few Bluenose builds, and came across your build. I was amazed at what I saw "fantastic". years ago I built the billings Bluenose II and was absolutely frightened to even attempt making the sails from the sailcloth.(no chance). In a few short words your build is truly great,with brilliant photographs. . Keep it going buddy. . . Kier SimonV 1 Saving for: HMS Vanguard...Victory models. finished: Bluenose11...Billing Boats... (sorry no log.
