Schooner Bluenose 1:48 plans by P.F. Eisnor, practium by Gene Bodnar

[Darrel]

what is the address where you ordered the plans for the Bluenoose from. I just ordered a set of 1/4 scale and they are not the plans that I ordered. When I got them they were 3/16 scale and not drawn by PF Eisnor. They were drawn by someone else and mark model shipways. It was bad enough that I didn't recieve the scale that I ordered but they wern't drawn by PF EisnI

I had the same problem as you did. And when I got in contact with them they told me to send them back to them and they would send me the correct set. And that was going to be at my expense. Would have to pay to ship them back and pay for the proper ones that I ordered.

HI Darrel, The plans in the ads from Model Shipways are not the Eisnor plans nor are they advertised as such. If you want the Eisnor plans you have to go to the Model Ship Builder website, not Model Shipways. https://www.modelshipbuilder.com/eisnorplans.html

My experience with the Eisnor plans for Columbia was great and I would never hesitate to use any of his plans in the future. I cannot say the same for the other company.

Wow--been year. Started back up. Completed the frame drawings and keel layout. Building board is all together. Keel is assembled is installed, a few frames are built and keel holders set in place. No, production of frames.

This is my dowel production (minus the band-saw). The bamboo is from a co-workers house (only using this bit, I have other stock of store-bought skewers that are nice). I use the reverse side of this jewelers plate--it works great.

My basic building station (minus the band saw and sanders). Glass if from an old scale and of course a Lego which I always find good for various uses (a 1-2-3 block of sorts). I love the Proxxon--easy to cut and move on, blue tape is the center line.

Current status, three frames in and keel holders set with the height on M frame (I had put in R as a test to make sure, but cut the rail too short). Other frames in process, I am at about a frame a day.

Did the set of plans come with plans for the keel and frame holders or did you make those yourself?
