I'm new to model ship building and am starting with the Model Shipways Bluenose and am using Bob Hunt's practicum. Good thing too because the instructions with the kit assume I know a whole lot more than I do. Yesterday I wrapped up chapter one of the practicum. So now I have a rough hull ready to do something with. It was a major sense of accomplishment. They only real issue I had was shaping the stern block. It wasn't the actual shaping but figuring out how it was supposed to be shaped. I looked at the scale drawings which confused me even more and then I looked at the photos with the practicum and I just couldn't find a good shot of what I was looking for. After worrying about this for a couple of days I went with what I thought was right.
This is a photo before I faired the hull. The ones after I finished must still be on the camera. I'll have to check.
