YUANQING BLUENOSE - Peter Voogt [COMPLETED BUILD]

[Peter Voogt]

The 2 last hanks applied. Those are the 2 separate lines for when the Fishermans Staysail is hoisted. These are attached to the two bottom corners of that sail:

These lines have longer loops, folded in the middle and then hung on the belaying pins with a pull-through loop.
At the mast foot also 1 of the 2 water pumps (re)placed on deck again.

And then my Bluenose was ready. Time to merge both parts into a so-called PULL-APART model. You named it just on time, Uwe @Uwek !
Just took some photos. It's a gloomy day here, so the parts that are in the shadows don't show up very well. Everything can be well lit in the studio conditions.

First the closed painted side from the front and back:



The open side as it will soon appear in the display case:



This is how you can see the construction on the inside:

The plan is that she will stand on a mirror in the display case. To look better inside. I'll have to see how that stands.

Like a waterline model:


The advantage of a gloomy day, no harsh light. So I took 2 more pictures outside:



After 28 months of construction, filling 161 pages in this build-log, containing about 1180 photos, this construction has come to an end.
I was able to enjoy myself with this kit from YuanQing @yqmodel
I want to thank everyone for watching, the input, the likes, the comments etc etc.
Mission accomplished.

I will go even further in this build-log with the studio photos and I will show the construction of the showcase in steps.
So Stay Tuned..........
Regards, Peter

Magnificent Peter! My congratulations for a world-class build.

 

[Steef66]

Congratulations on this magnificent model. You have turned it into something very special, not only the model but also a very nice report to read. You are taking modelling to another level with this. Thanks for sharing this work of art we can say.
Ps. The pictures come out better here

Congratulations on completing this extraordinary build.
A beautiful grand dame!

Peter, what a ship and what class she exudes. Magnificent result. Congratulations on this beautiful ship. You have gone very far with this construction, even put the saw in the ship and you have to have guts for that. The most beautiful BlueNose I've seen, you can be proud.

a pity that this log is coming to an end, but then there will also be a new project.

This build is very special, it is proof that the kit (any kit, in fact) is just a base with prefabricated parts and materials. It is up to the modeler to make the model looks like yours, It is skills and dedication which are involved in this build. It is love to the hobby! Congratulation, mon ami, amazing model and very interesting build log!!!

 

[Herman]

Congratulations on finishing this superb model. Such fine detailing. Every time I visited your build log I was amazed by what you have been able to achieve on this fine scale. Really a masterpiece.

Normally I write to every post a personal reply. But in this case it would have been on every one the same:
Thanks very much for this compliments and very nice words. For almost 2,5 years ago I could not imagine that the build and this build-log went this way. The latter mainly because I saw a lot of inspiration here at the SoS.
From a normal closed hull, to a 'split' one, from no sail to tissue sails, from small boxes to hinged panels. It's gotten a little out of hand. But I surprised myself too. And I am satisfied with the result.
Regards, Peter

Hi Dean.
I had hinted it a bit before, but my interest goes to a Vlaardingse Haringlogger from around 1900:

The ‘VL’ is for Vlaardingen, my birthplace and my grandfather worked in the herring industry.
Some time ago they restored such a lugger from 1912 and published a nice book about it:

That will then become PoF scratch from plans with small T-shaped frames:

They are riveted iron ships. I'm thinking about using Evergreen. We have many different profiles and different thicknesses of sheets. It can be formed nicely with heat. It is therefore in scale 1:72, as a fishing tradition in relation to the BN. That will be quite a challenge. special the rivets.
I'm already in contact with the Balder foundation. They are affiliated with the Fisheries Museum and have many original drawings. I will be visiting them soon.
Regards, Peter

That looks like a great project. Loads of interesting details to incorporate. I‘ve grabbed a front row seat and I’m waiting for the curtain to go up.

Thanks for the interest, Jan. I hope you have a lot of coffee, sandwiches and a sleeping bag, because it can take ‘a while‘ before I can show something ……..

Yup, all set. I’ve got all the above gear and twenty five years experience as a Scoutmaster.

...a scratch build, divided into two halves?

 

[Peter Voogt]

...a scratch build, divided into two halves?

Hi Jim.
This kind of fishery ships has also a interesting interior…….. so, who knows, but I have already a idea. Not in halves, in two parts.

Rivets: There are folks who make and sell rivets on decal film for the armor/military, railroad, and aeronautical modeling hobbies. The products essentially are 3D-printed pips on clear decal film and they come in a myriad of rivet patterns appropriate to the intended prototype and scale. Hundreds of rivet patterns to choose from. There are companies that do this in Europe as well as the US altho the most prolific of the US companies, Archer, just closed down his business and retired about six months ago. If this kind of product might be foreign to you, here is an instruction booklet from Archer that explains it. <<http://archertransfers.com/ASSETS/ArcherRivetManual.pdf>>

Meanwhile, you may already have decided how you'll rivet up a hull. Based on your finished BN, we know you'll make it right.
