Had the guys over to the shop.  Tale of two Winnies.  One is mine and the other is Mikes (stuntflyer).

Almost 5 years to the day....she is finally finished.   Always a bit anti climactic.   Thank you all for following along all these many years.  For those of you building her,  I hope you are having as much fun with it as I did.
 
Well here goes the final pics.  The top picture is of course of the Winnie contemporary model which inspired me as well as the Amazon.   I hope I did them justice.   Everyone should build a Georgian style model of an English frigate at least once in their lifetime.
 


 












 
 

Thanks guys.  There will be a barge but I am taking a break from Winnie for a bit.  I am going to catch with with making inventory of blocks and rope once I get back and maybe start work on Speedwell.  
 
I also have to write the last chapter and cut parts for folks.

Simply, wow.

Can’t wait to see what you come up with next! Love to watch your work!

I finally finished with the second set of 6 planks!

I wish I could be faster with it, but I know this isn’t a race.  Things at home have been rough which takes me away from building.  And a lot of the time, I am too tired to work on her at night (which is my only free time).
 
I also reorganized my work space to be more open.  It feels great to have things more organized!  I don’t feel as cramped which was starting to affect my building.
 
I’m slowly getting better at this, and I know the next set of planks will be better ( but still will take me a while to complete). I look through a lot of the build logs and am very impressed with everyone’s skills in this step which I am still trying to get down.
 



 
As you can see, there are definitely glue marks all over the hull!  I hope I will be able to clean it up with some sanding after I finish planking.  It’s been a little confusing to me exactly how much CA glue to use per bulkhead when glueing the strip to them.  I seem to tend to overdo it with the glue.  Also, the Saturn doesn’t look that great to me.  If anyone has some tips for how they bent and placed the strips correctly for the stern,  that would be much appreciated.
 
I am also running out of cherry sheets to use for planking, but money is a little tight right now, so that will have to wait.  I currently don’t have enough wood to finish this next set of planks which is a little upsetting.  But, what can you do?  I will have to wait a month or so before ordering more cherry sheets.  I will though, update this log with what I am able to do with the remaining wood I do have.
 
I think I got the curve of the planks correct,  but if anyone thinks I need to adjust it, or any other tips,  please let me know!
 
Thanks everyone!

You have done a masterful job on her.  I think I had as much fun watching you build her as you had building her.  
 
Beautiful work.
