Model Ship Builder - Kenneth Murphy - Bluenose II


 

Every once in a while we like to see a model while it's under construction. Well here is a real treat for you.

Model Ship Builder Kenneth Murphy of Sackville, Nova Scotia was kind enough to share some pictures of his current project a plank on frame model of Bluenose II. Kenneth has been building models for the past 40 years. To date he is 2500 hours into this build.

Original 1:48 ship model from builder's drawings, framed and planked in maple, with pine decks, cabins of Swiss pear, masts and spars of Sitka spruce, using 19,000 treenails as in the full-size ship. All components by hand of the artist.

Here's some pictures of a truely fine craft on the bench.
