Restoring Bluenose 21

Well here I am again, its been a long time since I last got into my blog spot, I forgot how to do it, but a little persistence and here I am.
I am going to talk about what I have been doing lately,that's why I haven't said much on my blog space. So here's what I've been doing. I did a model of Bluenose 1921 version some years back, but I did not do it right, I made allot of mistakes,because I didn't have experience or detail that could tell me the difference. Thus I was in possession of model I did not like. So It was either do it over or burn it. I did not want to burn it, so I deceided to rip it down and do it over. I took off everything,( the rigging and all), even the deck and all its fittings, and started over. I made all new masts, the booms, the gaffs, (saved the blocks,but did away with the tackle.)
I made a new deck,but I put in the pieces above the deck to demonstrate where all the ribs were, ( did not do that before ), I made everything out of oak, and made new shackles (straps) to fix all blocks to masts, booms, etc., and of course new paint. I am getting there, and will soon be ready to put on the sails etc..
But one thing I found out about model ship building, you can become addicted doing this, and a person can become sort of a hermit down there in your basement all the time. This is not good. Better to do just a little bit at a time, then take a break often if you have too. If you dont you loose reality sort of.
Anyway thats how I see it.
