Really nice finish OC, well worth the wait😉

He's only gone and done it again!!

Great job Chris 😁 another masterclass for us mortals.

Thank you Malcolm, as it happens, I did get to visit HRU in June 2022, also the RNLI boats housed in Sheringham Museum.

Both are a must if people find themselves in Sheringham or the vicinity, plus those places mentioned in Andrew's (@AJohnson) post above. 

As an extra, the RNLI/Grace Darling museum in Bamburgh, Northumberland is well be worth a visit if ever up that way.

Many thanks for visiting my log Malcolm. This build will continue this winter.

Cheers 

Looking good Andrew, it appears you have definitely taken to these card models.😉 

Well, that, work and holidays, now I've got the massive task of catching up on everybody's build logs .

, crikey Chris, you are a glutton for punishment 😁.

Oh fantastic job by the way!

I'm still making eyelets and rings, dozens and dozens of the things! I've upgraded my tools for this with new round needle nosed pliers and a decent pair of flush cut snips

Oh and I also got a couple of Vallorbe needle files.

Thanks to everyone who's looked in, commented and hit the thumbs up.

Unfortunately I'm going to have to wait until Christmas time before I can start arming Winnie, this year's list is cannon and more cannon, and maybe chapter 7 parts.

Cheers

, Welcome to MSW Dave

I'd be interested in this boat, it'll make a cracking little project.

Very nice, precise work as usual, from Chuck.

Gorgeous planking Frank, I'm now going to find a dark, quiet corner and cry😂😇

Very nicely done!

Just exquisite Frank!

Very well done Andrew😉

Had a bit of catching up to do and wow! Excellent finish, a very absorbing Dio.

It is good to see you back on this Dio OC! 

The teasers of what is to come promise a spectacular vision.

Ah! Denis, I'm glad you're back!

Beautifully done Craig, 👏👏 and I'm watching avidly for Andrews rendition 😁

Very well done, Rob. I'm totally gobsmacked at the level of detail 

Looks real nice Andy, but then I had no doubt it would😁😇

It's turned to be a great model, all power to you!!

Thanks to all for the encouraging comments.

Over the last week or so, I've made eight hinges, only 12 more to go, but I've only got enough brass strip for 9. The search is on for some more strip.

4 gun port lids have had their hinges fitted 

I still need to make and fit the pivot for the hinges and remove the molding where the hinge will sit.

An order of .8mm wire has arrived, so I will make the larger ring bolts.

Thank you everyone who has commented, and for the likes, or for looking in.

Cheers

1/16th wide brass strip....

 

Google, Amazon, even the K&S Metals website have failed me. I cannot locate the 1/16th wide brass strip I need for Winchelsea's port hinges!  Does anyone know of a source for getting this??

 

I have the same problem, I used a couple of spare from my AL whaleboat but need more.

Im sure CMB used to have some, it was from Occre

welcome to MSW 

Certainly, if one has access to a large bench saw and thickness planer, timber can be found by contacting a tree surgeon in ones area, who more often than not, are more than willing to give you wood. Also local timber yards stock clearish constructional timber in various lengths, thicknesses and widths for a fraction of the price of PAR/PSE wood eg £3.50 for 6ft of 4x2 spruce. In my own case I have carpenter/ joiner acquaintances withe the right kit, if or when I need.
