Also from my side a Warm Welcome @ioannisdg Ioannis.Good day fellow Bluenose builders and followers. The lovely lady is continuing her run of success as Bluenose #55 was dispatched today to ... wait for it ... GreeceI just love it each time when I can list a brand-new destination to her already very impressive list of homeports. The lucky recipient this time is @ioannisdg Ioannis Giannakopoulos whom we welcome to the Bluenose family! Congratulations, Ioannis - we cannot wait for you to get started and for the start of your build log!

That’s good news, Heinrich.After the National Day celebrations in China (which means a public holiday until the 5th of October) I will report on the dispatch of another two Bluenoses to the Netherlands. This is all the result of the superb displays conjured up at the Duizel gathering of modelers in the Netherlands by our trilogy of DBBS Dutch Bluenose builders: @Peter Voogt, @Henk Liebre and @RDN1954 (Johan). You guys have made a BIG impact on the Dutch Model Building Community with your superb Bluenoses - Well done!
Eagerly awaiting the start of two new Bluenose build logs...And as promised ... Bluenose #56 and #57 were shipped today to the Netherlands to @Smit Douwe and a friend. Unfortunately, I do not have the name of Douwe's friend, so until we do know his name, both Bluenoses are attributed to Douwe.

This is another first for Bluenose as it marks the first time that two kits have been sent simultaneously to the same address! A big welcome to you Douwe - we know that you will get many hours of pleasure from building her.
De vriend van Douwe ben ik "Leo Brans" uit Spijkenisse (zuid Holland).Met spanning gewacht op de start van twee nieuwe Bluenose build logs...
(Geen druk, Douwe en vriend, absoluut geen druk)![]()

Nice to see that BN #056 and #057 are sailing together to the Netherlands. Douwe & Leo, hopefully they will arrive soon. I will add both on the BN-list.De vriend van Douwe ben ik "Leo Brans" uit Spijkenisse (zuid Holland).
That’s very fine news, Heinrich. So a warm welcom to Daniel @Daniel20 in the Bluenose Family with this #058 kit.Dear Friends. Any Bluenose model that goes out to her new owner is obviously special to me and like an expectant father, I will only be able to relax fully once the model has arrived safely at her destination. But Bluenose #58 is extra special to me as she is going to a very dear friend of mine - a true scholar and gentleman - one of the nicest people you will ever meet - and one of the finest shipbuilders on this forum - @Daniel20 Daniel. Those of you who are not familiar with Daniel's superb VASA build, do yourself a favor and check this out!
VASA 490 Build Log - Billing Boats, 1:75 [COMPLETED BUILD]
It's my pleasure to introduce my version of the famous Swedish VASA warship. I invite all to join in on this my second major build. My wife's mother was from Sweden and her dad was from Denmark. A few years ago she had the opportunity to visit relatives in Sweden and visited the VASA museum . So...shipsofscale.com
You can therefore only imagine how excited I am having Daniel build Bluenose! The best of luck my friend - I can't wait to see the start of this!
