Bluenose - Model Shipways MS2130 - 1/64 - By JeffT [COMPLETED BUILD]

[RDN1954]

I thought green was for go and red was for stop!

No, red is Amsterdam green, so you're good to go.

No, red is Amsterdam green, so you're good to go.

I personally experienced this anomaly. Plus, one way streets are only a suggestion.

I found the correct Canadian flag as a PDF for the Bluenose online and made a couple of modifications to it. My (brief) research has the leaves on the flag at the time being green as opposed to red (changed to red in 1957), so I modified them to be green. I also sized the flag to be more in line with the model. I made a couple of variations and printed them on T-Shirt transfer paper with an inkjet printer. Using an iron, I transfer the flags to a thin handkerchief. I settled on the back-to-back version of the flag and glued the 2 sides together with white glue with the flag halyard sandwiched between the sides. Once dry the flag was raised and belayed.


I have taken the final images of the ship and will post them soon.

Nice flag Jeff. Can you share the file?

Nice flag Jeff. Can you share the file?

I started with the flags loaded on SOS by @TechTrek. https://shipsofscale.com/sosforums/threads/bluenose-flag-set.6597/

I took his design and change the maple leaves to green, made a foldable version and slightly reduced the flag size. See attached.

That flag is a very nice personal touch, well done.

Good morning Jeff. Cool Flag. Cheers Grant

I have finished my Bluenose at this point, although I still need to add a name plate. I will likely design something for 3D printing as opposed to an engraved plate.

Without further ado here's my final pictures of the Bluenose schooner. Detail shots will be in a second final images post.
