Bluenose II

Home

In this second wooden model, I totally fell in love with wooden model ships.

This ship used double planking the hull - meaning the first set of thick basswood planks

are nailed directly to the bulkhead, sanded and primed, then a thin hardwood set

of planking is glued on top. This results in a smoother and more beautiful hull.

I also started experimenting with slight modifications. I used a different material

for the railings in an effort to make them more clean looking.
