Bluenose by Liebre

Dear Henk. I cannot overemphasize the importance of the journey rather than just being destination focused. The longer and more difficult the journey, the more we can take from it and learn from it. In the end we are all wiser and stronger. I am sure that your Bluenose will get the recognition at the Show that both she and you deserve.

Rest used pear wood slats and kept the same bond as the hull, so that everything fits together more
I don't like bling bling and shiny brass, with my airbrush applied some effects in the brass parts to not look so boring

Yup Henk, I like the toned-down look of the pedestals as well. I may have to consider something along the same lines too.

All Gaffs etc ready and made smaller with my lathe
The masts end with 4.2 and 4.1 mm respectively, followed Peter's measurements
Just pickled and painted white and drying now

Those masts, gaffs and booms look good, Henk.
Sanding the diameters down to the appropriate dimensions is quite an effort, but is very rewarding; the slender spars give you a proper sense of size.

A lot of tiny parts fitted together. It’s looking nice.

And this is looking as weathered cast iron.
The stand will be nice combination with your BN, Henk

After a break, I continue where I left off.

To ensure that there is still enough space on the deck, I decided to place the barrels before continuing with the masts.

The green is actually darker in color, but appears lighter again due to the light in the photos. about..

The bands on the barrels were made from a scrap piece of brass, cut to size and bent, after seeing the photos I will update them a bit

Good to see that you are back working on your Bluenose.
That is a nice piece of tiny fiddling scratch build, Henk. A nice filling of the deck in front of the cabin.
Regards, Peter

Love the barrels Henk, those are on my list to do when I get back on my BN.

Hello Daniel,

I didn't have them on my list, but a few weeks ago I was at Johan's house and saw them on his deck.

It really helps if you see another nice addition, and gave me inspiration.

So I thought, who knows, for another builder, to gain inspiration.

I looked at your photos regularly (the mast) and I am planning to install a small beam between the front and rear (your photo on post #823) but not yet very successful here, and will try again soon.

Regards
Henk
