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

Canoe21 said:
Hello Johan, I do not understand just why you say that. I would suggest that you just go slow, think of what you are doing, do one thing at a time and do think ahead. The YQ-Bluenose is a very fine kit, things are a bit small so go lightly. There is no rush, building a model ship is not a job, but a very enjoyable hobby that will wedel away the hours.

Hello Ted, I do thank you very much for all of your likes , they are very much appreciated. I am pleased that you find my YQ Bluenose build helpful in your build, This is just my way of doing things, giving you a few ideas on just how you want your YQ Bluenose to look. This little fishing schooner gave me many, many enjoyable hours. And I believe yours will do the same for you if you give it a chance, ENJOY.

The love you have for this ship is obvious. I'm in the process of reading your entire build log. The work you have done is incredible.

Are the parts in these photos stained or is it just the lights you used to take the pictures?

This is the color I'm trying to match.
I have already spent over $50 on stains but can't match it
Would you mind sharing the finish you used.
Thank you
Ted

Hello Ted, I did not apply any stains paint or oils at this stage for fear that my glue would not hold. Yes is just the light giving that nice glow on the pear wood. Later on when all of the Bluenose building was done I applied a couple of coats of Tung Oil giving me a nice soft glow, but be careful as glue will not stick very well to any applied surface, hope this helps, Enjoy Your Build.

Hello Ted, On my Bluenose I had 12 cutout that left me a lot of room to give the wood a couple of coats of Tung Oil. I can see your problem, I would suggest that you finish our wood up just below your glue points and later on use a small paint brush to touch up the unfinished wood, a bit of a pain but this will insure that your glue will hold.

That seems to be a good plan.

I'm working on the rudder.
Does the forward part of the rudder round off where it butts up against the keel. I can't te from the photos or instructions.
Best regards,
Ted

Hi Ted, this rudder is a static nonfunctioning rudder that does not butt up against the keel. It is separated from the keel/sternpost by the width that is created from the hinge assemblies. So, I would say no, you do not need to do any rounding on the forward part.

Thank you,
Based on that I have started painting the rudder and have assembled the hinges.IMG20240814074649.jpg

Hello Ship Mates, The little fellows and I got a bit of a surprise when we went looking for the lower mast hoops, thought we had them but they were no where to be found . So we got out a piece of 2mm pear wood along with our tiny plane and made a bunch of shavings. We then got out a 25/64, 10mm drill bit and then wound these shavings around the drill bit an glued them up.
Sanded the ends and applied a little Tung Oil.
We also completed the fore mast along with all of it's fittings, there are quite a few of them.
Regards Lawrence

I can't find the mast hoops in the Instruction book. How many do I make for each top mast?
I'm making extras and selecting those that come out the best. I had 12 extras on the lowers.
This has turned out to be one of the more enjoyable parts of my build.
Happy modeling
Ted
