It is not that tiny!

Bluenose is gittin' her masts, eh! The new, accurate cabin cast up good and kits the ship well.

Love it, she'd fit right in with the flotilla in NY this week.

Great work and at such a 'microscopic' scale - as always

 

[Heavens Eagle]

Looking good Chris!

Love it, she'd fit right in with the flotilla in NY this week.

She sure would! Had she not been grounded in 1946 and sunk off Haiti in the Caribbean sea. "The Queen of the North Atlantic" hauling bananas! Perish the thought! I would imagine Bluenose II may have attended in Her mother's stead.

There's a great story about a DKM U-boat skipper that was stalking a large schooner in darkness and surfaced to ID/attack the vessel.
"Are you ze Bluenose?"
"Oh ya, you betcha!"
When he found out it was the Nova Scotia racing champion hauling Caribbean freight, The German Kapitain let her go.

1/700 Bluenose resin kit contents. But WAIT!! There more!! What about a contemporary bridge for the Lucretia option? Flying bridge, solar panels, big windscreens for the weather bridge? Sun deck? I have all these SPC-HWX 52 bridges that won't do. I recycled one of them.

Now that would be an interesting scene, Surfaced UBoat inspecting Bluenose.

That was in my head. Paint everything in blacks and grays, for a night effect?
