  1. Very beautiful, crisp, precise and clean work again Mike. Again an inspirational & reference build log for our own build of Speedwell in the future! Keep up your high level of standards admired by and an inspiration for us all. Frank.
  2. Superb job on those rings and hinges Edward, you must have been a blacksmith in your former life! Frank.
  3. Hi Tom, That's why I refuse to use superglue and still use old fashioned PVA wood glue... Although it takes me months more to plank the hull,I won't make a mess as is my experience with superglue. No need sanding PVA glue away, simply rub it away with a moist cotton swap...any residu that's still left can be sanded away, with FINE GRIT sandpaper... Perhaps it's possible to chisel away the effected planks and replace them? I did so as well one or two times with planks that weren't to my liking, though at a very early stage, almost immediately after planking them and noticing they weren't in the correct line or path... Frank.
  4. Wow Steve, that's looking impressively good! Very beautiful and hard work! Can't wait to see her finished! Frank.
  5. Again a truly wonderful beauty and masterpiece with such cleaver design features Chuck! Again! Frank.
  6. Thanks Edward, Don and Fred and the likes! Almost finished now, I'll post new pictures soon. Frank.
  7. Thanks all, and the likes! I hope to be posting final planking pictures soon…😅🥃
  8. Hi all, just a small update to let you all know I’m also still at it! Though I don’t have much free building time, I’m almost there with planking the hull. Just another week or week or two of fanatic but precise planking before the whisky plank… Frank.
  9. Beautiful and ambitious project JJ! I'll be following with great interest. It will be hard to choose what will be my next after I finished Winchelsea.... Frank.
  10. Great, beautiful work and another very fine example to follow and being inspired...again... Frank.
  11. Beautiful and gorgious work to admire JJ, scrolling back again and again to admire the warm tones, clean lines and crisp details! Frank.
  12. Looking good Tom, no need to start a new one, please keep going on this one and updating us! Frank.
  13. Welcome Bill! Looking foward to following your build as well! Frank.
  14. Hi Jim, That's a very nice and clean build, simply beautiful and well executed! I'll follow your build for sure! Frank.
  15. Congratulations Rusty, outstanding work, build quality and very skilled work of the warmest coloured Winchelsea in the whole group build! Frank.
  16. Pitching, and slippery...but there were lots of ropes to hold on to...luckily...😉 Frank.
  17. Thanks Steve, Bruce, Scrubby, James and the likes! Just take your time and remove a plank that’s not fully to your standard or liking. It may take an extra hour, but there will be many years you looking at it… Frank.
  18. Very nice indeed Rusty! It will be hard to accept any other quality, detail and ease of building when building other models from kits in the future... Frank
