I am not shure. Is this the way?
-
Hi everybody. Today I installed the Qgallery windows. I printed some dark grey paper and glued it into the filler peace. The other windows are not glued in position jet. Matthias

After the ivory experiment wit the stern windows, I could not resistent trying to somehow use my ebony piano keys. So here is the result. I hope you are all well. Matthias

Hi Rusty, I am not shure, but check your left and right stern frame. They seem to be too wide. I made that mistake and it was awful to correct it after having glued the transom in position. Matthias

Hi Matt, thank you for your compassion Matthias
-
They happen quite often in my building of Winchelsea. I hope, I can reduce that in future.

I had a little battle with my Winnie and that is the result. First I removed the small planks behind the door to the Qgallery. Then I shortened the 3 planks above and cut them loose from the frame. After correcting the shape of the frame I added the Qgallery transom peace and glued everything together again. I think it is close to the position it should be now. And thank you Chuck and Mike for your help. Matthias

Brigantine Leon by Beckmann - 1/48

Hi Doug, I am fine thank you. It has been a while now, that I did some work on Leon. I was pulled away by Chuck‘s Winchelsea. But I will certainly keep working on Leon. Concerning the companionway, I am not shure. But there is so little space and the hatch is in the way. So I just did not add it yet. I will have to do some more research. Matthias -
Thanks Chuck for the advice. I will carefully try to correct the shape by removing the short planks behind the door to the Qgallery, maybe I manage to cut lose the 3 planks above and then correct the shape of the frame. Today the parts of chapter 3 arrived, so I have a good guide with thd laser cut part.

Yesterday I glued tue transom in position. All looked well. The ivory windows fit is not bad as well. but today I realised, that I produced a severe problem by not sanding down the outer frames enough. I don't know how to fix that yet. I have seen this problem in some other build logs as well, so check that guys, before you glue the transom in position. Matthias

Thanks everybody for the likes and comments. As always I know, it could have been better, but you are right, I am happy, it is done, and I am looking forward to the next chapter wich will be a spectacular one. Matthias

Yesterday I finished planking the starboard side by adding the stern post. I did some sanding, but that is not completely finished yet. Here are some photos. and some more pictures from the hull upside down.

Hi, what Kind of wood do you use? And in wich scale do you work? Matthias -
Mike, that is an increadable example of patience an accuracy. Your Winni will be an extraordinary model, once completed! Matthias

What an excellent and beautiful design!! We are lucky to participate in this, thanks Chuck! Will you leave this black hole for the rudder like it is, or open it later?

Thanks everybody for the comments and likes!! I learned two or three things while doing this: The bulkheads need to be in perfect shape. If not (and mine are not) it can happen, that you get a bump in the surface. And then, if you sand everything, you suddenly see the bulkhead. I had that at two points. I had to change those planks, wich is really not a nice thing to do. The other thing is, that the planks should not be too thin. Better more near to 2mm than 1,6 mm. That makes is all more safe and stable. And the better you bend the planks before glouing, the better they fit. Forcing it in position always makes problems. There is a saying about building houses in Germany: Make the first one for your enemy, the second one for your friend and the third one for yourself. That is probably, what I should do with this Winnie-project!😉 Matthias

The starboard side is planked two belts. The upper two belts are the next thing to do.
-
Today I finished the Port side planking. Alltogether it looks okay, but I know my corners. What do you think?
-
Thank you everybody for the comments, - as I said, these tutorials make it easy to achieve a nice fit of the planks. I switched now to the other side of the hull. Christmas vacations are over now, things will proceed slower from now on.
-
By the way, I did tear off the rear Planks below the Wales. If not, I would alway regret to not having done it. Now the Joints are like stairs in a regular pattern.
-
These planking tutorials are really a help. Thank you Chuck. If you do it step by step, there is no problem to get the Planks in position without much forcing and clamping an so on.

Okay I understand, but so far there is no duckboard piece on the model. Or do you mean the channels? They will be black I presume.
