Just looking at this now.

Did you buy the basic version? The adjustable speed one could prove useful.

Thanks for bring this to our attention.

+ One for ropes of scale👍👍

Also since this kit has a great deal of PE Brass does anyone have a recommendation for how to prep the brass before painting and the type/brand of paint to use?

I use CRC Etch-it, comes in a rattle can and sprays mid to dark green, very easy to apply and dries quickly.

Be sure to wash the parts with either Acetone or Vinegar before spraying. 

Nepean Longridge mentions plating from the waterline down in “the anatomy of Nelsons ships”

Thank you.👍

A question thats a bit off topic but when searching for this kit they seem to refer to it as a starter kit.

could someone explain why this is?

thanks

Well done👌👌 great display of model ships

You are doing a great  job of this ship. Brings back many memories as I came out to NZ on her in 1964, those were the days😎

You are a making a very nice job of this model, well done👍

Very tidy

Well done, it’s a credit to you👍

Thanks for the kind comments, most appreciated.

I couldn't believe it when a friend told me how long it has been since my last post.

My only excuse is that life caught up with me and subsequently Winnie took a back seat.

She was finished some time ago so I will post a couple of photos that show some of the details.

Since taking these shots someone made me an offer that I could not refuse so Winnie now has a good home leaving me with plenty of space in the workshop.

Who knows I  am tempted to build another one and hopefully correct some of the mistakes I made first time round.

My thanks must go to Chuck for making this superb ship build available.

To all those who, with their helpful comments and suggestions made this possible...Thank you.

Good company to buy from👍

You sir are a craftsman.  Most impressive work.  Well done👌👌

Looking really good and as always shows the amount of time and thought that goes into this ship before any wood is cut.

Will this chapter also be available in Cherry?

Amazing work 👌

Thanks for the comments guys but I think we need to confine this log to the Winchelsea build.

Hi Timmo,

like yourself I don’t understand the why USPS wont ship, I have recieved an item from Micromark ordered just before I placed the order with Chuck. They must have placed the restriction on between the two orders, the strange thing is I can find no reference to the restriction anywhere.

I did recieve a package from Chris Watton in just over a week.

I dare say that things wll sort themselves out in time😩

Sorry bdgiantman2 I don’t understand your comment🤔

Beginning to look like a complete ship Bob.  Thanks for the info re the positionable spray.

👌👌👌 Beautiful!

Sorry about the shipping, I’m sure that’s frustrating. 

Sure is, serves me right for living at the bottom of the planet🥴

Many thanks for your comments and likes.  I look forward to the time when shipping restrictions are over.
