Work has restarted on Chapter 7, all of the beam positions were checked again and numbered 1-30, #25 was permantly installed and I have started adjusting the bulkheads and doors into position, I really happy to be back building again.

Well the move was completed after our new home was built on Oak Island.

The new model workshop/office is far smaller than my previous one at only 13x13 but I’m using shelving and other things to maximize space which is ongoing.

Winchelsea is now waiting for me to start Chapter 7 on the Quarter Deck hopefully in the next couple of weeks as soon as I find all the parts!

You can also get large plans printed and shipped to you online, on paper or mylar if needed.

Beautiful work

Long drive from OKI

So the move is completed, I'm working on getting my new workshop together - BOTH Pegasus and Winnie survived the move with no apparent damage ( better result than my last move ).

I love your design process for those Lockers and rudder trunk, I have to remember that when I do those for Pegasus.

Very nice touches Chuck.

Looks awesome Chuck.

Very Very Nice

Chapter 1 looks awesome Chuck - really looking forward to this model.

As for your question

I've no idea how many vertical "lines" of treenails there should be.

According to "Steel" and the "Shipbuilders repository" table of scantlings, a 32gun frigate of the time would have had 11 1/2" wide framing,  with a room and space of 27 3/4"

So you would have a line of treenails in a row with a gap between them of just under 2.5" ( 11.5 + 11.5 + 2.375 + 2.375 = 27.75 ).

On my cutaway section on my Winnie I simplified that to 11" frames with 3" gaps inbetween. Also if you look on the Plans - Chuck showed a section midships above the wales with a treenail pattern that you could just copy.

Hope that helps - that would be a lot of treenails to make!

Very Very Nice - Congrats

Fantastic work Chuck.

Shes a Beauty Chuck!

Count me in for one of the Kits Chuck - $2300 total for a model like this with the quality that we know you will employ - a no brainer for me!

She’s a big impressive Beastie there JJ!

What are your calculated dimensions of the finished model going to be?

She looks Fantastic Greg.

If you build it, they will come.

Congrats and good luck with moving her.

Beautiful work.

Move?

Yep - from upstate NY to se NC.

Internal Bulwark planking completed, now to pack her up and get ready for the move.

Well I have to suspend work on Winchelsea for several months at least because We are packing up and moving from upstate NY to the Carolinas.

My Winnie is in a perfect stage of construction to stop at as no beams or deck parts have been added yet that could get knocked about or broken, I can pack them separately and safely away in their own boxes and do a really good job packing the main hull.

See you next from the south.
