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

Thanks all! Merry Christmas to you all! Hopefully our friends in the US are all allright with the current snow storm and temperatures below -40 celsius! Frank.

Good tip Mike, I’ll check that, thanks, Frank.

I finally finished chiseling and sanding the inner gunport framing…man, what a lot of chiseling and sanding that was…it took me weeks…I’ll check the thickness at every frame again though before planking it later on. I’m now trying to line off the lower hull… I hope I’m doing allright like this using Chuck’s tick strips. Frank.

Thanks Glenn!

Again a very clear explanation Chuck. I don’t want to seem a rookie ofcourse 😉, despite the fact that I actually am on wooden ship models… Thanks! Frank.

Hi all, I’m almost at the point of planking the underside of my Winchelsea hull. But first I have a question about fairing the inside of the hull above deck level. It says the inside should be faired till 1/8”. I have made a wooden rudimentairy 1/8” measuring device as seen in the photograph. But is this from top to deck level the same? Shouldn’t it be a hair more than 1/8” on deck level? The bulkheads all seem to be cut that way as well and with POF models one also sees the thickness taper gradually. Thanks, Frank.

I clearly notice your experience deviating from Chuck's instructions, but recognize every inch to be correct.... Beautiful build! Frank.

Congratulations on your exquisite achievement, a beautiful work of art and inspiration for us all! She’s a real beauty! Frank.

Wow! What a sensational effect those lamps! Well done on a beautiful clean build! Frank.
-
Thanks Edward! Frank
-
Thanks Fred, I’m glad it looks that way to you, but I know it’s not ofcourse, every hair of an inch that’s not the same height, width or length portside compared to starboard I can point out… I’m my own worst critic too… Frank.

Great the chimney is safe now Rusty and great tip keeping the inner curvature of that deck planking the same and symmetrical while adjusting the outer curvature to the inner bow. I spent most of my time measuring to keep as symmetrical possible portside and starboard...but in fact when getting the micrometer at it, our wooden models are asymmetrical wonders (they're not plastic kits as Chuck said)...and yet they're beautiful, specially yours with these warm pear tones and teints of red... I love your build! Frank.
