MY BLUENOSE- YUANQING SCALE 1:72 SCALE [COMPLETED BUILD]

Canoe21 said:
Hello Ship Mates, Just a little update to let you all know that the little fellows and I are still very much busy in the planking the hull of our YQ-Bluenose. The small ship scale of 1:72 dose make this task just a bit finicky but it looks like the harder part is behind us now. We are still finding time to work a bit in our Old Ship Yard.
Regards Lawrence

PS - The hull planking has not yet been sanded!

It’s always a nice job, planking the hull. And you are doing great, Lawrence.
Regards, Peter
 
Excellent work, my dear friend. You and the little fellows have lost none of your touch. Also, from my side, a very happy New Year to you and Bernadette.

Hello Heinrich, I thank you very much for your very kind words and overly nice comments. Thanks for your New Years wishes and Bernadette and I return these wishes for you and Anna. We do hope that she is recovered from her bout with that Corvid Bug thing. The little fellows and I should be able to start sanding in a day or so.
Regards Bernadette and Lawrence
 
Hello Ship Mates, Yesterday the little fellows and I completed the planking on the port side of the hull, we also cleaned up the transom a bit but it dose need a little more work yet. Now it looks like we can begin the sanding and cleaning up the hull planks before we can begin a new adventure.

Regards Lawrence

Hello Paul, I thank you for your very kind words. These planks are rather small and quite thin making them just a bit difficult with my old big fingers but it looks like we did a pass.

I doubt if my (somewhat) younger fingers could have done as well. Even with my limited experience I know that hull will sand into something beautiful. Again, SO well done!

A very nice job, Lawrence. And as far as I can see, no inserts/stealers!
Regards, Peter

Hello Peter, Thanks for your very kind words they are very much appreciated. I did think think of adding a couple of stealers but chose not as I like the curved hull planks even if they are just a we bit harder to install.
Regards Lawrence
