Good Morning! A typical Spring day in northern Germany - overcast, with the odd spell of rain. Temperature is at 7°C and won´t go up much more. No business outside the house, so I don´t mind. Spent an hour carefully sanding the hull with fine grit sandpaper, just to shape the typical "schooner-type" bow and get the hull as smooth as a baby´s butt. I had some primer left, so right now the hull is up in the attic with a nice coat of primer. More sanding to do after the primer has cured, and, following that, I´ll give my hand a try painting the hull. Barry - the kit is made by the Italian firm Mamoli. Here is a link to their web page: <a target="_blank" href="http://www.mamolimodel.com/eng/indice.htm">Mamoli</a> AFAIK, the Bluenose is their only N scale kit, most of the models are in a different scale. If you are looking for N scale model ships, it might be worth looking at this page: <a target="_blank" href="http://www.artitec.nl/index.php/en/kits/category/n-ships">Artitec</a> Those are cast resin kits, which sport a lot of detail, but are a PITA to assemble and paint. Not plans for the day, maybe just running a few trains down the line to keep the dust of the rails [(-D] Have a good day!
