    Halfway through Chapter 11, the gangways and their ladders along with newel posts and their fancy work is done. The Chesstrees and fenders, with their friezes completed. All of the Channels installed and I have started adding the channel straps, I looked at both boxwood or ebony deadeyes and I didn’t like the look of either so I have ordered some Swiss Pear deadeyes hoping they give the look that I want. I have also made a decision about the swivel guns - I’m not going to install them or their mounts - not keen on how they look on finished models that I have seen sticking up and altering the flow of the model.

    That’s a monster build cradle!!

    Let me be among the first to Congratulate you Glenn, you have achieved a stunning model of the Winchelsea and I look forward to following your next project.

    Pushing forward into Chapter 11, I cleaned all of the channel pieces and glued the layers together and faired the backside to fit each location, I then added 1mm brass pins to each of them, 2 pins for the smaller ones and 3 pins for the longer ones. The trim work was cut away and then holes in the hull drilled to suit the pin positions, then the channel was glued in place. I just completed the port side and will get the other side done this week.

    When do we get to see more JJ?

    I’m not sure about the “all natural” quote there Glenn, there is actually a lot more paint on this model than I like personally, but we all have to expand our horizons. My Pegasus only has one color of paint on it, and I now wish I had done that in ebony wood. ben

    Chapter 10 completed.
  8. Trussben
    QD cannon production line.
  9. Trussben
    Superbly done Glenn.
  10. Trussben
    Looks awesome Did you forget to trim those frame joints back just below the gunport?
  11. Trussben
    Very nicely done there!
  12. Trussben
    Thanks for all the likes and nice comments!
  13. Trussben
    Chapter 9 completed with the spanshackles in place.
  14. Trussben
    FC deck details completed except for spanshackles as still waiting on square brass wire to be delivered.
  15. Trussben
    Portland is coming along really nicely JJ, but also cant wait to see you back on the Winnie too! Will the lower deck be getting a full set of cannons/carriages or just dummy cannon barrels sticking out?
  16. Trussben
    I feel your pain brother, but the result when you take the time to do it right really shows through!
  17. Trussben
    FC rails and details just being finished up and the belfry and its rail waiting to be installed. Need some square wire to make the spanshackles and chapter 9 is completed. Chapter 10 will be completed very soon, just the QD cannons, binnacle and ships wheel to be completed.
  18. Trussben
    Nope - does it actually work?
  19. Trussben
    QD Breastrail pinned and installed to the breastbeam, lots of fun cleaning the laser char from the uprights.
  20. Trussben
    QD side and taffrail railings completed, will work on QD Breastrail next and then move back to FC rails.
  21. Trussben
    More progress on QD railings.
  22. Trussben
    Looking really good Rusty but I have a question, the frames seem to have an awful lot of difference height wise in places so you need to do lots of fairing - but do the joint lines have a nice curve fore and aft? Just wondering if some of the frames are too high/low compared to their neighbours? ben
  23. Trussben
    FC timberheads and railings all cleaned up and shaped. Started installation of QD railings.
  24. Trussben
    Gangways and their knees completed, Breasthook installed, Cathead slots were cut and then they were installed and the Transom frames were cut down using the supplied template. All ready to start making all of the railings.
  25. Trussben
    Center planking on both QD and FC completed ( did not put the notches around the scuttles on the QD - prefer the look ) and I started the gangways, I want to finish most of the inboard details before I begin the railings to avoid damaging them.

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
