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

[Canoe21]

Lawrence, looking good. I thought you were going to order some stain from Home Depot?

Hello Dean, Yes I was going to do just that but the stuff I was looking at ended a conditioner before applying and that scared me away, so I am still looking, I thank you for your consumes. We have not given up as yet.
Regards Lawrence

Hello Ship Mates, Today the little fellows and I completed the wheel house for our YQ-Bluenose. Here it is dry fitted as we are still undecided on the deck stain and the copper paint for the lower hull. This I must decide on before the rudder can be applied.
Regards Lawrence

Hello Peter, Yes I do like the detail as she looked so plain and pitiful for so long.

Hello Ship Mates, The little fellows and I continue to clean up our YQ-Bluenose. We have glued the aft deck Cabin finally in it's place, retested our Led Lamps, added a Led Lamp and compass card to the ship's binnacle and tie-dyed up the forward companion way.
Regards Lawrence

Hello Henk, Yes that could have been the case but after looking at our hinges on the wheel house and the aft cabin door we decided to rework them. I thought they were small before and now I would call them Micro. These hinges were out of scale before, now I believe they will be more fitting. For sure my eyes are now strained and seam crossed from working on these tiny things.

Hello Ship Mates, After looking at our hinges that we had built and installed on the wheel house and the aft cabin the little fellows and I decided to replace them, along with a new set of cabin doors as the new hinges did not cover the old mounting holes.

Good morning Lawrence. Great redo! Those new hinges make a difference for sure. Cheers Grant

These hinges were out of scale before, now I believe they will be more fitting. For sure my eyes are now strained and seam crossed from working on these tiny things.

I sympathize! Those hinges cost me dearly; in time, in redo's, in cramped fingers and sore eyes...
Looking at your light additions, I am a little envious. They're looking great!

Hello Peter, Yes the smaller size sure dose help. The hinges should have been a we bit smaller but I do believe that is beyond me, Thanks.

Good morning Lawrence. Great redo! Those new hinges make a difference for sure. Cheers Grant

Hello Grant, Yes all of those redo's sure do help. Just can not figure out why the little fellows and I tend to take a lot of short cuts that do not pay off.

Hello Johan, Thanks for your very kind words and understanding. The little fellows and I spent yesterday building the motor box and a lot more little hinges to go with it, We found these a little easier, but still ended up with cramped fingers and sour eyes. Today should be easier!!! I hope. Yes those Led Lights sure do make a difference, yours will look great.
Regards Lawrence

Thanks Dean, This deck detail sure takes up a lot of time.

Hello Ship Mates, Today the little fellows and I completed the painting and assembling the ships windless, we still have to build a Pawl and hinge to attach to the Samson post but that will come a bit later. The windless is dry fitted until we can decide on just what we will do for a deck stain.
Regards Lawrence

 

[Canoe21]

Hello Ship Mates, Today the little fellows and I completed our much deserved windless re build. We installed the Pawl flapper and dry fitted the bow sprite just for looks. I can not under stand why we take those short cuts when we know for sure that they will not pass the final inspection. We think it looks a lot better now.
Regards Lawrence

Essentially, any addition to the basic windlass assembly is an improvement.
It's coming together rather nicely!
