Thank you!Beautiful work!
You should stop watching Peter's build log; he's setting a bad example!It's possible, but I would add more detail next time!I only had about 8 months, start to finish, to have it ready for his Birthday.
A Marshall has large tubes in it, except for the pre amp tubes, and even those would be too big. A small size appliance bulb would be closer to the correct size. But I think a glass fuse would be perfect at 1/72 scale. It just needs to be a short fuse.I remember my late dad had a Marshall amp which still worked with valves - that would have been the perfect thing to use.
I always add extra detail to my models, and I did on this one, especially the windlass. I added gears, brackets, levers, chain, etc. to make a complete windlass assembly.You should stop watching Peter's build log; he's setting a bad example!
(@Peter Voogt, absolutely nothing derogatory on your build, quite the contrary...)
You bet I'm going to follow this build!But overall I am very happy with this build, and ready to move on to the Norske Love build soon, which I am very excited about. Many embellishments are forthcoming on that ship!
It looks very nice, with more and more details, Dean.Ok, next was the vent ball at the top of the lantern room. In this case, it’s an octagon, which is tiny at 1/72 scale!
I started with a round dowel that I carved and filed to shape. Then I added a toothpick for the finial and shaped it…

Then I glued it to the roof of the lantern room…

Then I painted it. Is it perfect…no, but it will pass inspection…lol.

Next will be the railing post for the catwalk around the lantern room.![]()
Makes me wonder what cards you've got up your sleeve...I won’t make a model of this lighthouse beside my BN. The vitrine would be to high.
Do I understand correctly you already build a Norske Love, which was destroyed during a move?ready to move on to the Norske Love build soon, which I am very excited about
Hi Johan. Yes... you understand correctly, this will be the second time I build it.Do I understand correctly you already build a Norske Love, which was destroyed during a move?
And after completing this Bluenose build, you're going to build a second Norske Love, also from Billing Boats, but then customized?
I admire your guts. I'm already freaking out over the POF Bluenose build, which has yet to begin and you're jumping into the Norske Love adventure...
Beautiful example of shipbuilding in Europe in the 18th century.
Great finish to the lighthouse. I like the optional settings for it but best of all is with it behind the bowsprit of BN which could be returning or departing but I think departing in the starboard track of channels as incoming would be on the port of left side as I recall the convention. Excellent work!Another pic…
Obviously the lighthouse would be much higher than shown, and once it is on a stand with landscaping, it will be taller. However it will never be the appropriate height in relation to the ship. But it still looks nice together.
