  1. Thanks Chuck, I’m almost there, but still not in a hurry…as always… 😄👍🏻
  2. Hello all, Just a quick update to let you know I’m still on it…planking I mean… Frank
  3. Beautifully done Matt, again! I hope your Admiral gets well soon. Frank.
  4. And no concrete and insulation under the deck planking in your Winnie I assume... LOL.... Frank.
  5. I'm getting hungry, again...what a very nice stove this is as well! Very nicely done! Frank.
  6. I rather like some color variation, unlike many other builders I know, It gives more variety to the eye, 'on every inch something should happen' ...furthermore, shipyards didn't sort their planks on color I guess, as they were glad to receive the appropriate and enough wood to carry on building I read in one of my many books on English, French and Dutch shipbuilding... Frank.
  7. Beautiful work Matthias! Hopefully no mice beneath those beautiful deck planks... Frank.
  8. Beautiful work on the deck Glenn! The bolts will look magnificent too, I'm sure! And dito photographs, wow! Frank.
  9. Beaufitul work Glenn! Congrats and please keep your updates coming! Frank.
  10. Thanks Glenn and Pete! Yes, I believe I’m the only Dutchman building HMS Winchelsea. Frank.
  11. Beautiful work on a beautiful build and dito carvings Pete! I’m following yours as well now! Frank.
  12. Thanks, Chuck, Edward and scrubbyj427! I'm already on my way with the second band, updates will follow after I finished it. Frank.
  13. That looks like a nice relaxed curve with no bumps or weird tensioned humps following your batten. How does it look from bow to stern looking throughone nearly closed eye? Can you make a picture of that? Does one edge of the batten follow the tick marks exactly and/or is it averaging them? Frank.
  14. Ted, what a secure and tidy way of working. Even in squaring, outlining and determining symmetry and correct heights on the bulkheads I've learned a few metheds for my next build from you! Simply great! Frank.
  15. Now I’m getting to that tricky corner at the stern…I’ll just keep following my lines and curves and I should be allright…I hope… Frank.
  16. Fantastic, marvelous, yaw dropping beautiness in near perfect execution of how a ship model should be build! Congratulations reaching the finish Mike! Thank you very much for all your clear explanations and support in our own build logs of all of us apprentices. Frank.
  17. Good to hear you're making progress on planking Joe! I'd love to see some pictures of your progress. Frank.
  18. Looking very good Mike, well done, Any updates on your first planks? Frank.
  19. Beautiful fancy moulding pieces Dusan, I wouldn't worry if they're a tenth of a millimeter too wide, they sure look beautiful! I'd say glue them on...please....(!) Frank.
