I would say that looks pretty darn good. 😃 -
Just to show you a different look with the barge here is a friend of mine building it right now. Early paintings show the planking painting white.......it looks nice.

Excellent work...that just shows how you can make your model very unique. Well done. Chuck

Nice and straight....almost at the fun part.

Very Nice.....just take care when fairing. It will fair easy enough with a light touch and some sandpaper that is NOT too course. This is a step you dont want to rush. You can just glue that tab back together. No worries with that.

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.

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.

That looks great....wonderful workmanship.
-

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.

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!!!
