First, let me say that I’m a beginner at wood ship model making. I have some experience with woodworking, hand carving, building small tables of my own design but not ship building. I also did some watch repair in my time so I have some familiarity working with small details.
I didn’t choose this model, it chose me. I found in my garage. It’s the POB Bluenose. I forgot all about it. I think I got it as a gift 20-25 years ago. I tried to find something about the manufacturer but no luck. I know it was made in Spain. Anyway, it looks like a beautiful ship, something I always wanted to do plus I don’t have to spend extra money buying a new kit at this time. See photos below.
My question is, am I taking on too much with this model?
Also, I notice that the keel is very slightly bent. What would be the best way of straightening it out.
Thank you.
