Merry Christmas to all of you. I hope you are enjoying some time with your shipmodels. My wife got me an incredible book about the shipmodels of the musee de la marine in Paris. Looking at the great cabin of the frigate "La Flore" makes me dreaming of finally continuing my Winchelsea!!! My rigging project made some Progress, but I am running out of blocks, so Winnie will continue soon. Matthias

Hi Chuck, will the port lids be equipped with ropes to keep them open?

Hi Matt, thanks for your sympathy! While waiting for some parts, I started the rigging of an 1/75 Model of a frigate. The parts for the next Winchelsea arrived long time ago, but the rigging takes so much time, that I didn't yet continue with the next chapter. Here are some pictures, of where I'm stuck at the moment. Examples from NMM Making sails making the yards and adding the sails most of the time goes to reading to understand, how the rigging works.

Well done Reg. Your stern arrangement looks very good! And I like your base. It looks really nice with those brass collumns. Where have you got them from? Matthias

Hi Steve, that looks good! Just a little thing: The lower molding at the bow should be longer, so there is no gap to the stem. Matthias

The friezes and Fancy moldings on both sides together with the Qgallery-roofs are now finished. After printing the friezes, I sprayed the paper 2-3 times with varnish, then cut it out and glued it to the model. Here are some Pictures. Now I look forward to the stern with all the wonderful carvings from Jack. That will be the absolute higlight of my so far modelbuilding. Matthias

Okay thanks for the advice. I will close the Qgallery with tape from the inside, that might help against the dust. I actually just spent more than one hour searching one of the windows wich fell down when I carried the model outside, thats why I spontaniously glued them to the model. I was so happy finding it inside the doormat. Matthias

Chuck, That model is another example with red painted coamings. Wich one is it? The cabin panels of your Winni look great, even upside down !!!

How to explain in a foreign language... Here are two photos. If there are Copyright issues, please delete them. The first show the panels with frames and fillings. The second shows something like plywood with a painted frame.

Are these panels just painted, or actually built with frames and fillings?
