  1. Thanks for your kind words JJ, very much appreciated in these awful times! Frank.
  2. Hi Matt, Any updates? Let's keep the Winnie build log alive, also for newcomers!? Cheers, Frank.
  3. Hi Joe, It's exactly as Glenn says, nomodel is perect, no part you make is perfect, but when good enough put it on and carry on. In the end you'll have a fantastic model to stare at and enjoy with a noce whisky or thea! But ofcourse, it's your model, do as you please, either way I'll be interested to follow! Frank.
  4. Hi Scott, Exactly, and as far I can see, all that's broken now, won't be visible when finished, but try to repair in a good and qualitive way, so take your time to do that correctly and thought through, important for sturdiness later on. Good luck, I think you'll be good! Cheers, Frank.
  5. In my opinion do not see anything that cannot be repaired with some replacements... I would go for a repair, as you have come so far already and which is just all fine! Frank.
  6. Congratulations on finishing your superb model of HMS Winchelsea 1764 Glenn! Your build log was and still is an inspiration and a true benchmark for me. I don’t have as much time and your experience clearly not only shows in your building skills, but also in your fast work pace… Once again congratulations and I’ll be following your next project with great interest as well! Cheers, Frank.
  7. Congratulations Ben, A big achievement and she’s a real beauty! I love the case as well. Minimalistic is my approach to that as well, not drawing attention away from the model! Five years, I think that will be about the time needed for me as well. Cheers, Frank.
  8. Happy New Year Dusan and all, Beau-ti-ful and a very good end result Dusan, congratulations with your HMS Winchelsea model! Yours truly stands out beside a lot of our models! Cheers, Frank.
  9. After a (too) long period of absense because of long hours work and family (again), here a small update of spirketing / bulwark planking portside. Nothing special, but to let you all know I am at it again for of a much longer period of activity from my side hopefully! Frank.
  10. Welcome, enjoy and have fun with this lovely project, woodartist! I'll be following with great interest! Frank.
  11. Hi TJ, Why not first finish what you've started? Is the SR from Artesania Latina any good?? I think there are lots of SR's on the market that are a laugh in my opinion.... Is this one spot on? I don't know it (yet)... Frank.
  12. Great and beautifuel looking work Ben, You inspire me to get back at her again fast after my holidays.... Frank.
  13. Good morning all, Not a build update yet in the holiday period unfortunately. Family obligations… But I think quite as nice an update though from a trip to the south of England of me and my wife. We visited Rye, Falmouth, Bath, Canterbury, among others these holidays… And ofcourse, on our way from Rye to Falmouth, we hád to stop in the very nice quiet village: Winchelsea! Do you recognize the Viking / Norseman Ship in the municipal sign from our HMS Winchelsea stern ornament? Cheers, Frank.
  14. Great progress Matt, I'd better get back to her again too, too much work and family lately... Cheers, Frank.
  15. Hi all, I’m on my way in chapter 4, and I have a question. I have a rather larger opening in front of the false deck. Should that be filled to be even with the false deck to support the rounded margin deck plank that will be glued over it? Or is that plank wide enough and doesn’t it matter? Also I doubt painting the grating supports black. They look beautiful the way they are with a little WOP…? Thanks! Frank.
  16. Now we have two master painters in our mids: Dusan and you Fred! Simply wonderful paintwork! I wish I had the courage... Frank.
  17. Beautiful and inspiring work almost comes to an end JJ…. I wonder if you could explain and visualize two things: 1. The connection of your 9-12 Volt connector to your model stand and how you wired the male/ female plug inside the winnie (did you drill the wiring all the way vertical through the keel AND the multiply?) 2. A small tutorial on how to produce those lovely lanterns hanging all over? The rest of the wiring is clear in your pictures I think. Thanks, Frank.
