Hello everybody, I made the checker floor for the captains cabin. I wanted it like on the pictures on the captains cabins: First thing was to provide the stripes and cut them without breaking them. Next step was to stick them upside down on a tape. after that was done, a veneer template, wich had the size of the later flooring was glued to it upside down. Afterwards the edges were cut and sanded in shape and the surface was polished. Her you see the flooring on the model: Matthias

I glued the panel to the model now and added the sliding door. Next will bet the port side panel.

The next thing for me to do is the panels and flooring of the captains cabin. I wanted to use my ivory for the panels and started with the starbord panel. I made a base from a thin veneer and cut out door and gunport in the right position. Then I glued small strips of veneer onto it, for the placement of frames and panels. The ivory parts were cut and profiled on the saw and afterward sanded an glued on the base. Here you see the result. My material will be enough for the captains cabin, but not for the rooms infront of the cabin. I plan to make that with wooden panels like this one here: One thing I still have to add, before gluing the starbord panel in position is the door to the Quartergalerie. I am thinking of a sliding door like this one: After that, I will make the checkerbord flooring, using the material of the panels and some ebony. I started the preparation on this one: Here you see the strips glued together and sandet roughly, next they will be cut apart and glued on a veneer-basebord as well and then sanded and polished.

Thank you Mike, I corrected that.

I made the inboard planking of the bulwarks, and of course forgot to insert the little shells in the second layer, I inserted them in the first layer. So I have do drill the holes in the right place and somehow create the notch between them. After painting everything, I will continue with the paneled captains cabin. Matthias

I think it is a question of, what kind of model we want to build. There are different traditions of modelshipbuilding. The more puristic English Royal Navy dockyard model, or the models of the French Naval yards, or the famous Trianon collection. They show virtually every possible detail. Look here these cabins. They are like little dollhouses. The focus is on the details. They cover up the beauty of the hull. Very interesting and a document, but for the Winchelsea, I would prefer the English style.

Hello everybody, I started chapter 4 now, and made 2 of those fantastic gun's at the beginning. I think the red carriage suits better, but the natural carriage is beautiful as well. Next I planked the lower deck platforms and glued the deck beams an deck sheats in position. All turned out well, no problems so far. This broadside will look wonderful, once completed!! Matthias

Good morning Herbert. There exist detailed plans from Harold Underhill about LEON. He even wrote two books about building this model. There are lots of Informations. I suppose, you need the original dimensions? Or of the model 1:48 scale? Matthias -
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.

Hi Bob. A phantastic model. Well done!!! Did you carve the scale figure yourself? Matthias

Hello Everybody, Chapter III is done now, the model looks so beautiful, thanks again Chuck, for this design. so it is time now to do some cleaning and repairs and maybe continue rigging of a few older models. They all can't keep up with the Winni, but I still like them. Matthias

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

Hello everybody, thanks for the likes and comment. Here is a little update of my work on the stern columns. This is so much fun, building this model. Thanks Chuck. Matthias
-
The carvings are now added to the stern. I had some trouble to get the right balance of Neptun and Diana. (is it Diana, or Athene?), because Neptun is a little bit larger. Here you can see the result. Matthias

Thanks for the comments and likes, here some pictures of the model, after adding the moldings at the stern. Matthias
