Rib number 25. First cut out of 18mm wood, and then cut in 2 and opened up. Hopefully this will ensure both sides are twinned to each other

- Hi Ross.
You have finally created your model topic. I am very happy with this.
Thank you for sharing these images and explanations.
I hope you have plenty of photos for us to see through to the current stages of construction. I like to understand the methods and techniques that other modelers use.
What scale is the model?
Will it be a static or dynamic RC scale model?Liked by Len1 and Commodore-H and

the scale is 1:24. Bluenose is 143 feet, so this model will be 71.5 inches or 181.6 cm. RC or static scale? You will have to stay tuned to the next episodes to find out!😁

The keel in the building jig, with rib install jig in place at stern. If you squint REALLY hard at the rib install jig, you will see a rib in place, being installed. Alessandro, note the white brackets holding the keel upright at 90 degrees

Close up view of rib 25 install. Roger A1, note the numbering at the bottom of the rib. Yes to do the install without numbering each pair of ribs would have been insanity

- Great job with the Bluenose Ross!
I see you have a lot of space and professional equipment.
You are a professional rather than a hobbyist, I believe that you can easily build the display case yourself. - Can’t wait to see the built up hull shape,Liked by AlessandroSPQR and Doogle
