Hello Ship Mates, My YQ-Bluenose is finally complete and the little fellows and I are very happy with the end results, Thanks to Bernadette with her sewing skills and also for her many patients For Me.
The HMY Fubbs will be my next endeavor, I just hope that I have enough skills to justify such a very fine kit as this. Thanks to Mike Shanks for making this kit available to me and the other Weasel Works members, he sure has added a huge pile of very fine detailed work this truly amazes me, also for his very generous and kindness, I am sure that this kit of the HMY Fubbs will give the little fellows and myself many hours of true enjoyment, Thanks Mike.
In looking over the other Weasel Works members build logs I have decided to show all of the many fine pieces that this kit contains but to show just how full these two boxes that the RMY Fubbs came in.
Tomorrow I will start to separate and arrange a few of these pieces so that I can get started gluing the templates to the frames as I also have chosen the hard maple version to get rid of the laser char, could be a big mistake as the hard maple is much harder then the cherry wood.
Wish me luck.
Regards Lawrence
Royal Yachts, one Ketch Rigged and one Smack Rigged Two royal yachts, in port-quarter view, side-by-side. One is ketch-rigged and may be the 'Fubbs' and the other is smack-rigged, possibly the 'Katherine'. The yacht to the left is firing a salute and a number of men can be seen on the decks of both vessels. Numerous other ships are visible in the background to the right. De Man was a Dutch artist who worked in England over the period 1707-20, arriving at about the time of the death of van de Velde the Younger. He worked for some of the time at or near Deptford on the Thames, where nearly all the ships that he portrayed were based. He was a competent and accurate recorder of yachts and shipping familiar in the lower reaches of the Thames in the early years of the 18th century. His signature, where it occurs, is 'L. D. Man' in the extreme lower left or right corners of paintings and with the 'D' superposed. This is most likely to be a contraction of 'de', in the same form as used by the Delft painter Cornelius de Man (1621-1706), one of a large Delft family of that name. There is no firmer evidence of a Delft connection for L. De Man but it may have been his point of origin. This painting is one of a pair; see also BHC0980.
