Really really helpful. I got my half built Bluenose out this Christmas. 8 years in the back of a cupboard. I had got stuck at the mast and rigging stage. I’m all over it again now. Couldn’t have done it without this.
I came across this quite by chance and wow that's quite a video! Detailed but shows all the steps! I started to build a Bluenose years ago but never completed it and eventually gave it away! You've re-vitalized my interest! Thank you very much!
Excellent work,. As I come form a boatbuilding family I must point out that no one would leave the trailing edge of the rudder ao thick like that shown at 7:22. It should have been tapered/ feathered, as Bluenose would have never won all those races. Apart from that, all I can say is hearty congratulations. Since I was young close to 85 years ago I always felt that a good displacement hull should have the lines from bow to transom follow the shape of "a sinewave" or a truncated sinewave at the transom for least resistance and Bluenose appears to have those lines,. We use to build and race "MARBLEHEAD" radio controlled models and that was our " secret design lines".
Fascinating! It was much more involved than I expected. I want to introduce my 12yr old nephew to this hobby so gotta be careful that his first build is a pleasant/easy one. You're definitely an expert and could perhaps build your own model from scratch starting from the template itself. Thanks for sharing!

My wife gave me this model for christmas some 25 years ago and between starting and stopping, in the last few months, following the by-chance discovery of ur vid., I have retaken the build, and I am really enjoying it. I have a question though: I noticed that you use linseed oil on the hull instead of a gloss varnish. I am just curious on the reason for this: Is there an advantage? Thanks!
Welcome back to the hobby! The wood finishing linseed oil was just my preference. My personal experience is that linseed oil penetrates/darken the wood gives a natural weathering looking. It also takes less time to set than varnish. However, varnish provides a better shining finish than the linseed oil.
Thank you for the message, @EZmodeling! Very exited to be back! Thank you for the note on the linseed oil. It makes sense so I will experiment w it too.
EZ VIDEO MODEL BUILDING MY GREAT AUNT FANNY! THIS WAS SOME OF THE MOST IMPRESSIVE WOOD BENDING I HAVE EVER SEEN THEY SHOULD CALL YOU THE CRITICALLY UNDERRATED MEGA MAN VILLIAN WOODMAN. BECAUSE YOU CONTROL THAT WOOD. WOW! GOOD JOB. HAVEN'T STARTED THE VIDEO YET.
I bought a couple cheaper models of this ship. I love the brass fittings this one has. I should have waited to buy this kit instead. Please tell me where you found it
Noticed that you build the haul in one piece, in the instructions it says to do it one side at a time then join them together. Did you find that it would be easier to do it as one? I ask because I’m starting this exact model and I’m new to the hobby.
Welcome to the hobby, Brandon. I was NOT able to have the two halfs aligned perfectly. I found out building in one piece is easier for me. Good luck building!
@ezmodeling, how do you get your background music? Do you pay royalty or something? I have a bunch of kits I want to start vlogging and really like what you have in the background. Is it a blanket fee for a whole catalog?
@@EZmodeling is that free, or subscription? I SHOULD know at this point, I’ve been working on computers for 30+ years, but I never got into this sort of medium (YT) too deeply
Watching this made me realize I totally screwed up the deck planking on the rear half of the boat model I'm building. The forward are straight, but I see the rear are curved. I wonder why that is? I made thm straight like the front. Oopsie. EDIT: I just looked at my plans and it shows them straight, so... I guess I'm off the hook? lol
The origin of the nickname is not entirely clear, but it is believed to date back to the 18th century and is often associated with the bluish sheen that appears on the noses of fishermen due to the cold North Atlantic waters. The fisherman used to wear blue dyed mittens which blue dye were cheat and easy to get.
@ezmodeling, Oh MAN, I can’t imagine building with half bulkheads on a keel, like a Guillow’s airplane. Must be nerve wracking, keeping those parts perpendicular to the keel!
Really really helpful. I got my half built Bluenose out this Christmas. 8 years in the back of a cupboard. I had got stuck at the mast and rigging stage. I’m all over it again now. Couldn’t have done it without this.

Beautifully done. I painted the chain plates and deadeyes blsck on mine.

Really great video. Definitely a sophisticated build by a very capable person.
Thank you, Michael

Yay a local ship! I've been on the real one. It's awesome!
I could watch the ropework being done repeatedly. Great job 👏
Awesome build my friend, It's nice to see a fellow Canadian RUclipsr that build wooden model ships, Keep up the great work.
Thank you very much!😊
@@EZmodeling You're very welcome my friend
@@EZmodeling too bad you're so far away on the other side of Canada, I'm in New Brunswick
@@BluestreekCustoms I will travel to the east coast to view the real ship one day
@@EZmodeling I'd love to go see the real blue nose 2, although I'd love to travel all over and see any real sale shipped that's still out there
Gorgeous!
Thank you! Cheers!
Superbe voilier , beau montage et travail soigné ....

Thank you, Rahul. Yes, I will build from scratch at some point later. Good thinking of choosing the first one to someone new to the hobby.

Fantastic job! But where do you get the time?
Thanks. Being lucky to work on it couple hours after dinner, ;)
Many years ago I built the same ship but a little larger.
I wanna get into building wooden boats but I feel like it would make me pull my hair out lol
No wonder I am going bald, lol
Friend, did I see it wrong or did you have the steering wheel facing backwards? Congratulations on the work, it looks beautiful!
Thank you. That is how the helm system designed for this boat.
It's true, I watched the video at the end. But it's strange and very different from normal.

Check out Cornwall model boats or model expo. Also should be available in your local hobby stores. Good luck.
@@EZmodeling No local hobby stores to speak of.
Who's the maker?
I could try their website....or Amazon

I use RUclips studio music library.

I made a few mistakes here and there on that one too. The plan was not that clear and needs to be revised. Enjoy your build.
Can I buy it at the shopping mall?
Please check out your local hobby store. Good luck!
With a Black Ull, why was theis Schooner named "Bluenose"?

While I have the skill I don’t think I could ever have the patience to do this. The finished boat is beautiful though
🙏 Thank you
I thought they used copper on the ships bottom, not brass.
Yes, copper plates and copper nails were used.
@ezmodeling, Oh MAN, I can’t imagine building with half bulkheads on a keel, like a Guillow’s airplane. Must be nerve wracking, keeping those parts perpendicular to the keel!
Yes, you are right. Behind scenes, I used angle blocks to ensure all of them were perpendicular to the keel.
The pencil lines for deck planks is very ordinary….its a shame
The older version came with printed deck which was better.
Not very well made-- in that was the best I could do I would try another hobby.
Sure you can do a better job. You can buy the kit from Billing Boat or your local hobby store. Looking forward to your result
