The bottom edge of the front panel sits on the curved counter......NOT on the deck. So you have to bevel it to sit flat on top of it. You will know once you place it in position.....you will see a small gap along the edge if you dont bevel it.- 1,784 replies

It is probably easier to adjust the tab on the frame than adjust the slot if need be. It shouldnt be and issue to make any tweaks to get those frames centered and aligned. Its looking great so far. Take care now to make all adjustments to get the frames centered and at the proper height to ensure that keel sits straight and level.

You are definitely over thinking it. You can of course sand a bit that may be preventing a super tight fit. But not too much. Just enough to close any gaps.

Its looking great....I just got pictures from a friend of mine also building the barge. He used a 50/50 mixture of shellac and mineral spirits on his cherry. It looked very good. Although I used WOP. My barge has gotten considerable darker since I finished it.

Thank you so much......I just wanted to reach out and let all of you know how grateful we are for every donation you folks have sent during the pandemic. Many of you have sent us donations large and small through the Donation box on the top right side of the forum. I dont know the screen names of those who sent us a donation or I would thank all of you individually......but we appreciate the support. It means a lot to us!!! Thank You from all of us!!! 😍

For the most part....but the bow port is a bit of an optical illusion as it curves.

It varies wildly on contemporary models....some really close to the top edge of the lid while some others are a bit further away. The key is to place them where the lids will open and close in their openings properly. Remember that the lids and port openings are NOT square or at right angles....but the hinges must be squared up to each other to make them work properly. More or less. I tried to place them appropriately on the plans so I would follow that. But one hinge on a lid could be higher than the other one so their tops are level with each other. Its hard to explain....but both hinges need to be level....even though the top of the lids follow the sheer. Because the sides of each port are straight up and down they wouldnt open or close properly unless this was the case. On a model it doesnt have to be so extreme however because you will most likely show them open and they wont be seen....or certainly not opened and closed. They are fixed either open or closed....so you can just make it look good.

Chuck replied to Chuck's topic in Group Projects on Model Ship World
That is where I get my Cherry wood.....I am waiting on a large order right now which is in transit. Once I get it I will make more Winnie installments and ropewalks. Ethan at Ocooch is very good and accessible....

HMS Winchelsea (1764) 32 gun frigate GROUP PROJECT INFO
Chuck replied to Chuck's topic in Group Projects on Model Ship World
Sure...if you build it from scratch you can also start a build log. -
Glad to hear it. Just take your time and ask a lot of questions. We have a great bunch building the Winnie who can help you out.
-
Beautifully done...I cant wait to see it in person.
-
I have no idea...you will need to just pick one. But when you are on the mara 120 screen try and just type in the color code....that sometimes works.
-
Wonderful job on your Syren.... I would love to see more of the model. Please do start a build log...
-
Enjoy the project...I will follow along!!!
-
Very good to see you building the barge......enjoy the project. Chuck

Ken I am sad to say has left our forum...he doesnt post here anymore. He prefers to be active on SOS and post over there....as he has been following many logs over there. Ken is someone who never posted on anyones build log but his own on MSW....the kiss of death for getting no activity in their own logs. You guys must remember how often I say that is a big mistake if you want others to show an interest in your build log you must at least make a small attempt to show an interest in logs of others as well. So he has gone to SOS where they are so desperate for members that new folks are love bombed in their logs by the same two or three staff members. I guess that is all it takes. I implore all MSW members to reach outside of their own logs and show some attention to other MSW members if they want some reciprocal attention paid to their own projects. He is very familiar Keith.....it doesnt matter

HMS Winchelsea (1764) 32 gun frigate GROUP PROJECT INFO
Chuck replied to Chuck's topic in Group Projects on Model Ship World
I have been asked by a few people this week about the Winnie group project and if it was still open for new members to join. I am not sure how there could have been any confusion about this but YES....the Winnie group is still open and we are actually getting new members all the time. Parts will continue to be available in my Syren store as well. In fact we had quite a run on parts for the early chapters this week from new folks just getting started.... So please do feel free to join in on the fun and you can build it in either Alaskan Yellow Cedar or Cherry.....this group will not be closing anytime soon. At my last count we have about 60 build logs going on here and at least that many more in addition being built by folks who for some reason havent started a build log yet. We will wait for you to catch up....LOL!!! 😀 Chuck
