Thanks Chuck, Glenn, James and Paul! Yes, I flip the hull over now and then to check for strange looking curves and dips. I’m beginning to feel key is that all curves bend fluently and following the lines set with the tape run not much can go wrong…but checking is better 😉💪🏻… -
Thanks Scrubby! No worries: I'm smelling the warm hot AYC air from my traveling iron right now, as I'm bending planks right now again! 😉 Frank.

Hi Joe, it's only a small correction in my opinion, so please do so, as your build looks very, very good and will turn into a beautiful Winchelsea when finished. Keep up the good work and don't be afraid of posting mistakes, I posted quite a few myself and got plenty of help on this build log, which it is all about! Cheers! Frank.

You're making great progress and looking gooed Gary! Keep up the good work, I'll stay tuned! Frank.

Hi Kurt, Any updates? Cheers! Frank.

Small Saturday update, one more row to go on both sides before the first band of planking is finished. I think I'm starting to get the hang of it. Frank.

Nice progress and beautiful work Matt! I always shake my little bottle or tube with CA gleu before using it. For some reason the sticky part of the emulsion sinks when the bottle or tube is in rest for a longer period of time. You then do not only apply only solvent instead of the full glue emulsion. Frank.

Beautiful build af the Agamemnon Mike! Twelve years, wow, I thought I was slow here with my Winie build… Great to follow your build! Frank.

What a shock! Rest in peace Bob, I didn't notice this message until now. I didn't know Bob for a very long time on this forum, but he had always kind words and tips... Will someone of you living nearby finish the last chapter 12 of his Winnie for his family I was wondering? Frank.

That looks very good! Frank

Thanks Chuck, I’ll start planking then, I still have a few days holidays, so let’s see if I can finish at least half or maybe a whole first band. Frank.

Thanks Chuck, Here some pictures of my beginner’s planking layout…It takes a very long time this way, but I just want to get it right…hopefully no anomalies anymore…I’m eager to start planking now after all this fiddling with fine tape and pencil…though I still have to find some plank joints and mark with a red cross… and tweak some tapes to an average in lining and spacing now that I look to these pictures.

Thanks Glenn!

Thanks Rusty!

Almost ready for planking after days of checking and correcting with small yellow tape. It won’t be till 2023 I’m afraid… I wish everybody a Happy New Year! Frank.

Good tip Glenn, I’m marking them right now like you mentioned!
-
Amazing work Dusan….how do you make such fantastic looking fancy mouldings? Just by scraping? Frank
