Yes, I just read you will be cutting more in the future, so no worries. I totally understand and agree to let the guys ready to start Speedwell now buy the first batches. I was just flabbergasted I saw the first two chapters being listed and sold out at the same time when I woke up Monday morning...hahaha...but, good for you, you fully deserve it Chuck! Frank.

Hi Fred, Very impressive your fully rigged version thusfar! I want to keep my options open now that I'm starting chapter 4, planking the deck. I might go for a fully rigged Winnie later on as well. How did you determine the exact locations of the masts? Only by the holes in hte false deck , as given by Chuck? Are all three masts right up, that is 90 degrees with the waterline? Where did you get hte plans for the Enterprise? Is the rigging fully compatible with Winchelsea, or at least contemporary? Thanks! Frank.

Hi Dusan, Your work is really breathtaking and a real piece of art, the beautiful painting, the precision of the woodwork and metals, usage of tools, all at a decent speed is truly amazing and very inspirational to me! I now bought the Proxxon MF70 and started to learn working with this milling tool, again a milestone for me, but again slowing me down in my build. Learning so much by this Winnie project, from Chuck, Mike, and also certainly you and all other amazing builders on this website! Amazing... Frank.

Hello Kenny, Welcome to the Winchelsea project from me too and Happy New Year! Also you have my deepest respect cutting all the bulkheads yourself on the scroll saw... A lot of extra work I'm too lazy doing myself I'm afraid LOL... But your plan and preparation look superb to my eye! Have fun! Frank.

Good day all, Starboardside chapter 3 finished. Hopefully chapter 3 finished these Christmas Holidays… I added some extra fancy molding above the QG windows as my roof and fancy molding was a little high and I didn’t like the large blue space above these windows. Also on the contemporary model I spotted something that looks more or less the same… The roof and channels are not glued on permanently yet ofcourse! Frank.

I had and still have the same feeling Greg! That’s so marvelous about this whole project. Unbelievable that a year ago I would not have dreamed I would be able to build chapter 3 up this point! But as our self confidance grows, we should beware not to overestimate ourselves and keep going slow and steady and work according to the plans Chuck provided. Frank.

Thanks JJ, Jim, Greg, Glenn & the likes! It was actually Dusan’s (westwood) idea to leave space for the channels and more…thank you Dusan! I anticipated only on the channels by building them now and placing them between the fancy moldings. The other items are much smaller and for them the fancy molding can hopefully also be chiseled away easily but precisely.. Frank.

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
