  1. Hi all, The second cabin bulkhead has been tested, tweaked and finally fitted. The door knobs caused me the biggest headache, as the ones Chuck supplies, I managed to break or lose most of them, so fashioned new ones from the offcuts of the cannon trunnions. There are still only two beams glued in, as I daren't glue the others till I'm absolutely sure I can!! It certainly gives Winnie a better look with these bulkheads fitted.thanks for your support. I still have some little niggles to sort out, but work progresses slowly. Cheers
  2. Welcome aboard It's a hobby in itself perusing these pages, so enjoy!
  3. Hi, the guns are finished!!! A long slog, and obviously a few more to do when the Q deck and focsle are done. I started by cutting the trunnions by hand but after breaking a few off I changed to a cutting disc on a small rotary tool The fittings are all done in the bulwarks so the first dry fit of the aftmost cabin bulkhead has been done A long way to go still, but I'm getting there. Thanks for looking in and your continued interest. There will be a short break as I'm off to the Yorkshire dales to do some hiking/walking for a week. Cheers
  4. Thanks Frank, there will be one soon, as the artillery for the main deck is finished. I'm still in progress of fitting the ring bolts and and split rings in the bulwarks And then to start on the cabin bulkhead fitting Cheers
  5. I've temporarily placed all the QD beams except the one on the transom. They've been numbered for removal as and when required Need to double check for a smooth run with a plank Time is limited because of work but I manage to work on Winnie now and then, so please bear with me. Cheers
  6. Thanks Chuck and Glenn. It's taken me a while to get back to working on Winnie, I seemed to lose the motivation for modelling over the past 12+ months! Happily it's coming back
  7. Hi again, Chuck's deliveries are fast, the parts for chapter 7 arrived in about a week or so again. So now, it's more sanding and trying them for fit And all the barrel trunnions to trim for the fitting of the cap squares Thanks for looking in. Cheers
  8. Good to see you back on Constellation, Jack. Looking good. And yes I know that feeling 😄 True true
  9. So, all the 12pdr carriages are done, 8 have no barrels, but they are on order, along with chapter 7 and the cap squares. While I wait for chapter 7 to arrive, I will spend time making lots of ring bolts and split rings for the bulwarks, 125 is mentioned in the monograph. All with barrels are placed in position. Im quite satisfied, even if I do say so myself. The barrel less ones in the cabin area, And one last photo Thanks for looking, and hitting the like button. Still no decision on whether to rig or not to rig the guns. Feedback will be gladly welcomed on this matter. Cheers
  10. Thank you Chuck 🙂 I am still working my way through the construction of the cannon, I'm on my last batch of eight. There are so many ring bolts to make, but I'm slowly getting there. Thanks for you continued support and encouragement. Cheers
  11. Hello, so Winnie got dusted off and brought out of ordinary. With 8 cannon completed bar the cap square, I wanted to see them in place! The stove and capstan were placed too. I'm still undecided whether to rig the guns. Only 16 more to do! Thanks, till next time Cheers
  12. Hi, work continues gradually on the guns, and also the capstan and stove. I have thoroughly enjoyed building the stove and capstan, such great little kits, that can be stand alone modelsthe stove is finished and also the capstan As my guns are being painted I painted the capstan too Thanks for your patience and following my dabbling. Till next time Cheers
