  21. I have thoroughly enjoyed building this model of the Bluenose by Model Shipways Kit # 2130 scale 3/16" = 1,-0', overall length 32 3/4" long, 27" tall and 5 1/4" wide so far Kev quality is overall good but I have changed some parts because I wanted to add my two cents worth, did buy some 3/4" round Cherry wood for masts, bowsprit etc, the contents contain all the wood to make the model plus some laser cut pieces, which are made from soft wood, some I changed due to me thinking they would break, there are some white metal pieces which are ok to use and if you can I would make your own. it was nice to own a lathe and milling machine to help with the cove, scuppers and parts you have seen in my wip but again you don't have to go that far. Drawings are good drawn by Ben Lankford, you do get a nice 34 page book of instructions, also the thread for rigging, I would recommend anyone to buy this model. These are the parts which come laser cut This is my second wood ship build, first was this HMS Endeavour which I have started the rigging but alas still need to finish Some of the rigging I have done so far But this will have to wait for the Bluenose to be completed, my goal for retirement is to finish all my models I have started Regards Richard
  22. Please take a few pic's of this procedure to make the water love to know how to do it. Regards Richard
  23. Lovely work Steve , why not try some Tung Oil instead of painting it will bring out the wood just right, just a thought have used it before. Regards Richard
