Hello Johan, I do thank you very much for your optimum and encouragement, but I still have a long way to go before I start my next ship the HMY Fubbs stern section.

Good morning Lawrence. Yep looking great. I love the way each modeller reflects their own take on the same build. There is talent in this BN group and you are right up there. Cheers Grant
My friend - this is really a very good looking model on the way to be completed

Hello Uwe, Thank you my friend, Yes the YQ-Bluenose has always been one of my favorite ships, could be because I am from Nova Scotia that I want to make her just a bit special.My friend - this is really a very good looking model on the way to be completed
Very good work

Hi Lawrence. I see you use almost the same method as I do when setting ratlines.

Hello Daniel, Yes I have been using this method of doing the shrouds, for many years now not perfect I know but not all that bad.

Hello Ship Mates, This week the little fellows and I have completed the lower rat lines on both the main and fore mast. We have also tied off and secured the upper dead eyes.

A very repetitive job closed, no more worries about ratlines, except the ones for the upper mast shrouds.
So far so good, I would say.

Hello Johan, Yes you are very correct there, this job is almost the same as to rigging guns on the HMS Victory. The upper rat lines are a little easier, that is if I can fine the time to work on them.
Regards Lawrence
Looking great Lawrence!

Hello Ship Mates, The little fellows and I have completed the upper rat lines on both the main and fore mast. We have also added the required blocks to the main and fore mast. We have added the boom bumper blocks to both masts. Last but not the least we have given both fore and aft decks a coat of Tung Oil.
