Bluenose by 7Provinces – Billing Boats – 1:75 - first wooden ship build

The faux tree nails look great!

the tree nailing is something I hardly do.  most of the kits I've done were smaller scales..........it would be the flip of a coin if they'd be seen or not.   it's good to see your back at the table.   you could try using a syringe to fill the tree nail holes in.   most fillers are water based.........a wipe with a damp cloth and you'll never see any staining.

Wow I just returned from being offline for a while only to find... well nothing at first. I could not find my posts, my content, and almost everything I used to.

So now I am getting used to the "new" forum. Well it looks good and works nice. Soon enough I'll find my way around it and all is well again 

In the meanwhile my Bluenose is in the basement waiting for its turn. The house is almost finished and a part of the basement will be my working area. I hope to finish that somewhere in spring or summer and look forward to be able to start modelling again.

I'll be back ;-D

Aye, another one lost but returned to the nest!  Welcome back Jan-Willem

 

[7 Provinces]

yes that was last year..

 

Since my last real "build-log" post I have built a house (well had it built for the most part) and I am still busy getting my workspace ready for modelling. And building things for in the house and all that stuff you do in and around a house.

So, not quite back in the saddle yet but sharpening the blades, cooking up the glue and mixing the paint so to say 

 

[popeye the sailor]

looking forward to your return

Thanks Jan-Willem for checking in on me and my Santa Maria....

it is coming along very nicely and I am pleased with the skills I picked up with my Bluenose build.  Look forward to seeing some progress on your build!
