Hi Ted

Considering the era and type of vessel shouldn't the anchors be iron stock anchors or maybe bank anchors?

Allan

I have no idea. I'm just going by the parts supplied in the kit and the plans.

That's looking much better than your first try.

Thank you

but most of us have to deal with the items of a kit.

I understand, but these are really easy to make, even if completely out of wood and paint, with hand tools.

Maybe you can still convince Ted? But seen his post above I don’t think so.

Hi bro, you have a scratch-building bug Even if it is easy or simple to make, not everybody wants to do it. We keep discussing this from post to post. We are all different and desire to make models in certain ways.

We do appreciate your knowledge and suggestions to make it 'real', but... we have the right to reserve building models the way we like, and we can.

I don't understand. You want me t scratch build some new anchors and throw away the ones I've already built.
I appreciate your helpful suggestions but am not interested building substitute anchors.
Does look nice though.
Best regards
Ted
I built a couple of the locker hatches.

Hi Ted,
This came across all wrong, I do not want you to do anything. I was only pointing out to anyone interested that there are alternatives. We all should do as we please as this is a hobby for the vast majority, not an occupation or even an avocation.
Cheers
Allan

No problem. This is my second model and I'm working with only an Xacto saw, knife and sandpaper. I have no surplus materials and limited skills.
I appreciate your input as I would not have reached this point in my model without the gracious assistance of this sites members.
I apologize if I came off rudely or in an inappropriate manner
Best regards
Ted

 

[Ted Robinson]

Not perfect but better than my last model.

I'm missing the portholes for the steering wheel cabin
These portholes have been problematic from the beginning as they all came the same size within .002" and no dimensions on the plans.
Best regards
Ted

As far as I'm aware of, the Bluenose didn't have portholes in its wheelhouse. So you could happily do without them.

Thanks

I filled in the sides with the cutouts on part 220 leaving a shadow line.

 

[Ted Robinson]

The part 16 doesn't fit as a top for steering wheel box!!!
And, the steering wheel came as a piece of costume jewelry with a cast in hoop for the chain. I ground the hoop of but it was formed from the side of the spoke handle and left a flat spot. The wheel appear to big for the steering box. I'm going to get busy reviewing some build logs to see if I'm crazy again
. best regards

For some reason Yuanqing has those port holes included in the ships wheel gear box, but Johan is right, other pictures of the real craft have no port holes there.

There should have been 2ea. 3d printed ships wheel in your kit. YQ may have run out of them though.

 

[Ted Robinson]

Thank you Daniel.
Already eliminated them. See above
Have a nice day my friend

The long edge of the wheelhouse interfaces with the deck, the length of the shorter, opposite edge should match the the length of the wheelhouse cover.
The kit should also hold two 0,5mm veneer parts, matching the inscribed lines. They're on the dories part tree.

I found pay2700 has the same clown ships wheel as I do.alk of the other build logs so far have one that is much superior.

I installed the veneer parts but my kit did not come with the prescribed port holes
I glued the inner parts that was supposed to be cut out to cover the holes as the veneer parts had already been installed. I didn't think I could just fill the hole and sand the area properly without doing more damage.

 

[Ted Robinson]

I did the main boom holder and the parts that goes around the base of the main mast today
