Good morning Lawrence. I like the way you have lashed these to the cradles. I never got the dories on the BN. IMHO , The BN has to be one of the most beautiful schooners ever built and then they put those “bath tub” dories on her.
. Your Redo dories are great (your first set were pretty good as well BTW) and I like the fact you have kept the hull natural with a thin green on the railing. Awesome modelling.Cheers Grant .
Hello Johan, I thank you for your very kind words and nice comments. I could not install those YQ-Bluenose dories, they just did not live up to the Bluenose. Mine are not perfect by any means but I do believe they are much more suitable to the rest of the build., why don't you give me a masterclass "dory-building"?
Mine were a disaster and I just couldn't in all honesty display them on my Bluenose.
Yours, on the other hand, look great, real complementary to the rest of your build.
Hello Grant, Thank you very much for your nice comments they are very much appreciated. I did paint my dories with a dory buff paint, I sent away to Nova Scotia for a paint chip years ago and had our paint shop scan it and make me up 250ml of Latex paint, now I have a life times supply. These colors are highly visible on the dark ocean surface. Yes I do agree with you on those YQ-Bluenose dories, they are just not up to the rest of this great kit.Good morning Lawrence. I like the way you have lashed these to the cradles. I never got the dories on the BN.

Hello Uwe, I thank you very much for your visit to my build log on the YQ-Bluenose and also for your very kind words and nice comments.
Davits. These two Davits look rather simple but in turn are rather finicky.
Hello Heinrich, I thank you very much for your very kind words and nice comments. I am very pleased that you like my little dories, they are so very much a big part of the Bluenose that I thought that I would give them a little extra effort.
Hello Paul, I thank you very much for your very nice and encouraging words, they are very much appreciated.
And so all little bits and pieces come together, ultimately resulting in a no doubt beautiful rendition of her great example.
The deck is filling more and more. It’s looking great, Lawrence. And after the bowsprit, it’s time to go into the air.
Hello Johan, Thanks for your very kind words and nice comments. Yes our YQ-Bluenose is finally starting to fill in, the 1921 Bluenose was a fine example.
Hello Peter, I do appreciate your very kind words and nice comments. I do however have some very fine examples to refer back to in the Great SOS Form, YQ- Bluenose build logs, however I feel that I can not reach the expertise that has already been posted in a lot of the build logs, But it will be fun to try.
Good morning Lawrence. I see The little fellows are getting into the multitude of little bits this model has. Impressive stuff. I really like the way your windlass is looking- great detail. Cheers Grant
Hello Grant, Thanks for your very kind words, Yes we do like a lot of detail and do try to add as much as possible, but at 1:72 scale this is some what of a challenge.
Looking good Lawrence! The extra details on the windlass are nice!
Hello Dean, Thanks for your nice comments.Looking good Lawrence! The extra details on the windlass are nice!
