Where did they carry the wood for this stove? It must have been a large load.

Looks like it .is pushed back a 32nd or so. Might cause a slight dip in planking. Add a shim and sand easy peasy fix

My Winnie will be a tiny little bit different then others. I just did not like the look of the Captains cabin walls so I built my own and painted them white. This made the cabin a tad bit narrower so without doing a lot of trimming on the doors it could not fit four doors. Went with three and a filler. Looks fine. Not historically or Chuck accurate but nobody will know except this little group. Also added a ship’s cat, the Admiral loves it.

Been busy busy working on a display for the whaling museum in Lahaina Maui . A buddy of mine built the Charles W Morgan and asked me to build the case. The trick with this case was it had to (1) be used for transport without damage to the model, (2) be the model display case with no modification after shipment and (3) have a water feature. It all worked…go figure. Anyway after this project I got back to work on my Winnie.

Beautiful work Bob. Stealing your wire idea.

Chuck I’ll post some photos in the next couple of days.
I usually download the plans from the Syren site. Never think about checking on MSW. Daaaa.
On the gun port covers you did not have a line for opening but I was planning on adding it. Would a cleat be added above or on the side of the gun port to secure.

The base is just as important as the model itself. A poor base and case can really degrade the overall look of a project.

“Turns out I only needed to adjust and use one wider plank”
You talked about having to add one or two wider planks on the ends I was wondering if it would also work top dead center.
-
Could the two wider planks go top center?

What Bill said. Soak in Acetone first to remove oils, fresh water rinse, then gun blueing solution.

Where beams bolted into place and should we simulate bolts?

Apply a little heat with a heat gun and pull it out.

If it were me I would fill, sand, prime again. It looks good now and will look even better when painted.
