Good afternoon, I just received my YQ Bluenose and am excited to share my first look at its contents. Of course, it came very well packaged and upon opening there is no apparent damage to any of the contents. I like the way most all the fiddley pieces have been shrink wrapped to a cardboard...

At least it will be once I get it. I am in the final stages of building the Amati Mayflower ( https://www.youtube.com/channel ) and have been promising myself and my subscribers the Bluenose for quite some time. I have only just joined this forum, but loving it so far. I have looked through a...

Time for a new build (+ bonus video of a little holiday project at the end ). After finishing my Bluenose II I took a break from the model building and I am now kicking off the first of my 2022 projects. I intend to build this model more as a practice piece in order to try some...

I'm about to embark on this wondrous adventure with a great deal of trepidation, but I feel confident with the help of all those in the group that have gone before me I'll be able to finish this task. My Bluenose is #47, and it looks like it's on its way. In the meantime, I wait.

Piero's Bluenose # 46 is on the way home. FedEx says she will be here on December 30 ... just in time to see the New Year be born together. And we hope so!

And there it is! Today at 10:29 a very friendly FedEx guy delivered an eagerly expected package from China. Unfortunately, this is my first and also last post for this year on this Bluenose POF build log, since the Admiral put the package under lock and key; it's her Christmas present for me...

Hello fellow modelers. I have been watching this group build and have learned a great deal. Not the least of which have been my own lack of talent and experience. All of you have been very generous sharing your explanations and photos. I am taking a bit of a plunge to share some of my photos...

This is the build log of my POF Bluenose. I started with the frames. I glued and beveled the first 10 frames and placed them in the jig, as a holder. The jig was screwed down to a piece of plywood, to prevent warping. The plywood will be removed later for access.

I have never worked with wood before, and this is my first time. Started with the beginning of the keel I followed Heinrich's instructions and followed Peter's construction method, for assembling the keel On a glass plate and with an iron ruler After light sanding it already looks a lot...

Greeting everyone! I've been spying on you all for a while now, I suppose it's time to come out of hiding. I have enjoyed watching the fine craftsmen here from around the world share their amazing skills so kindly and graciously. Very uplifting to see a diverse group of people come together...

So far my built, not 100 % perfect but passible , my mistake was not paying a greater attention to sanding the notches on the jig , soon learnt , the forum is a valuable source of information no doubt and I follow Dean’s achievements every move not to make mistakes , it sure is a challenge .I...

This is the first build log I have done. Since I’m a newcomer to POF kits, and since so many others have set out their techniques in such great detail already, the plan here is to post my progress accompanied by questions as they arise. I appreciate everyone’s help as I move ahead with this...

Hi Everyone! I am starting construction on The San Felipe. Here are some pictures of the box contents. The ship is huge! and will be a lot easier to work on at this scale. Slightly over 36" long on the hull and builds to 47" rigged! The model arrived in 5 days after I ordered it from Max at...

Just to let the group know that I will eventually do more than post photos and information about the Bluenose I will cast off my hawsers and begin the voyage on the best tide and winds available. Presently here she is, after I sent my reception photos of the box and contents to Heinrich upon...

Well I finally decided to do my first build log. Normally I would just lurk in the background and watch the great work by others. I've always been reluctant to expose my mistakes publicly, but since others have shown the courage to do so, here it goes. I started putting the jig together. I...

OK GETTING STARTED, HAVE QUESTIONS WILL POST PICTURES THEN REORGANIZE

Starting my build from the beginning - The ordering process was flawless. Just a PM to Heinrich on Dec 5, with a reply the same day. E mails in the meantime kept me up to date on progress. Payment was flawless. Was notified on the 18th that the paypal bill was ready. Paid bill the same day...
