Hi everyone! Well, the entire workroom project is finished and I can get back to work on the Bluenose II.
Thought I'd post a few pics of the hobbyroom before I show the Bluenose progress. We decided to do the stairway ourselves. We just had the floor people remove all the wall-to-wall rugs from the stairs. After they were finished with the whole house, we started on the stairs. I rough sanded the stairs then started filling all of the staple and nail holes. Another sanding. More filling. More sanding. Sound familiar? Two coats of white primer, two coats of flat white then two coats of white enamel. Step pads installed then the runner was stapled down. FINISHED!
Now, at the top of this georgous staircase is the "Hobbyroom". First is the basic "ThunderRoad" flooring. Great name, right?
Now, the Hobbyroom.
OK, enough of the workroom.
The hull and the deck of the Bluenose II is completed and now it's time for the masts and rigging. The Main mast and Foremast hole bases were missing soooooooo I scratchbuilt them. Completed and installed the Crosstrees. Started making the various blocks and tackles and installing them. The topmasts were tapered on my proxxon lathe and the mast trucks were installed.
That's the 1st 4 pages of the 2nd instruction book. Now comes the real FUN, the clump blocks, rigging, small rigging and ratlines. It's a good thing I have quite a collection of left-over rigging because I don't think there's enough in the kit.
I hope this works as it is one of my many tries to post photos instead of links. It looks like it is working but I won't know for sure until I hit the enter button and it does enter. If it doesn't, I'll try, try, try until it does.
Stay safe.
Jim
