George , lovely milestone. one suggestion though. probably too late but it would be a bit nicer if deadeyes iron braces were a bit thinner. otherwise she is beauty

Im here im here Rich. I will try to dig that picture working on it. Michaels depiction of ship is fascinating indeed with predictable result as we arleady predicted that it would be from that photo. i saw it immediately once seen that photograph that that one is source... especialy for bow it was obvious. with many distortions of quite massive proportion on both sides of extremities. bow and stern ....had vessel been photographed with modern technique it would be another story . - and im still not so sure. i cant imagine a dockyard where you can zoom out by legs with 50 + lens back 100 meters to get all shio in frame - maybe only with expensive wide angle corrected shift lenses for architecture puprose that buildings are photographed. still not sure of outcome

thanks Rob for clarifying. indeed as you stated. besides there was not much more to work on anyway - for simple reason , height of standard door opening design in buildings V.

Well. I Worked All spring long. Cj 9 10 and Beyond . And my love -hate relationship with winnie continues. Being naturally impatient, i relaised with scale AS this and even without rig which takes event longer, ship modeling craft IS sort or art like painting. No matter time. Years even. What count IS final outcome or quality. Change in visual feeling from bare Hull to full form with All deadeyes fancy rail etc IS HUGE. Its worth platience. I was ooh and aah when making stern houses and inner compartments .. etc and after that too many months long structural timvers floors....All important but visually boring stuff almost offputting. I must say its steep learning Curve probably top much fór me unskilled bloke. but ship IS enormous. There was way too long watching at bare Hull. Sort of offputting feeling. Therefore i decided not to wait till autumn and trying to finish her AS soon AS possible with knife and files and sandpapers. After purchased part 9 i commited myself to 10 and Beyond - thinking IT Will be almost impossible. I tried to extract clay for Few stanchions and thats IT. I miss though Beautiful center rail columns AS i Made myself simple rounded. Well. And Guess what? I observed how those bows are Made in other ships and started IT off thinking i Will not be ale to cut those by Hand. Sure they are not complex beauties tusks Its temporatily attached somaybe i Will change them for originals when available. I Did malé inner fangway already and IT was tough ! You folks have Still a lot of works ahead.i Finally learned how to make proper Cannon. i Made swivel guns without that handle AS those are brass...Another aaargh. And i tried to make handmade upper capstan - only one though. binnacle was enormous fun to make with Dremel. And many other things. Like outrt steps although they are from poorer Wood unfortunately. if someone is making cherry winnie , add Chuck opted fór darker deadeyes I went fór white that complement beautifully with darker Wood. Oh - sure i miss 3 layered Channels but i tried to copy originál obed with black layer on the top. AS only knife cut, they are not such precise though. I intend to change those wired holding deadeyes AS i had biggest problém make IT beautiful and Neat thinner and straight .and they are top tehij i Guess. I Will have to buy those Made chains i Guess. Well, ať this point i miss only statues and figurehead and wheel and lamp and gratings to end.and Few more to finish bow - you are correct im not going to try to make those. :)Thanks fór watching and comments. my deadeyes are 5 &7 MM though. Little more covering freezies. And my pedestal Will be myself Made very old OAK lightly planned so old rustic vibe IS Still visible with simple brass nameplate ...now i Can wait Few months for you guys 😀.

Rob you are machine ! its constant joy to watch your rig progress . she portrays another dimension with her rope net . how long spanker boom. wow.
-
Respect Rob. Then i Will try to observe and study IT when tied up. v
-
Its getting busy there isnt IT
-
Wow Rob, im in awe. glory Will ( hopefully) be my first complete rig whatsoever. Studying your progress ( despite of Few differences of later years changes are Great source to me. Plaese do feel free to comment whatever you Will see strange:) v.

Thanks Rich, lovely paint indeed. AS i started to study rig properly i Now understand "the mess" meaning a aj additional pack of ropes in case one considers sails comparing to without sails . Yes they are there but All the buntlines and so on yes they have to fit comfortably indeed question sa s whether i want them. But i leaning to sails probably similarly as in the paint. First i need to learn making those. Silkspan? Not sure yet. You know I am not doing on glory ATM, probably later in spring or summer..but when i start i Will let everyone know. I Will need to assemble ropes stuff etc...Will be long build. I see it fór autumn and that Will be intense work and i hope lovely rigging. Fingers crossed. Meanwhile i Will experiment with figurehead:) i Still think how to frame that fine sketch from you. I Guess when i start rigging Rob Will build Another clipper or two :D. V.
-
Thank you Rich !
-
Thanks you for advice i Will také IT to consideration .:) V.
-
Very beautiful.
-
I got the point Rob. Fully agreed thanks. its just reason i paintakingly digitally recreated entire ornamentals for no use though V .
-
Thanks for input gentlemen. youre probably right. At some moments I miss or regret not having those elements authentically 3D outstepping of surface. but on the other side as you say its high tech against hand paint. I wont change it and will focus on figurehead to make it instead. slowly. Thanks much V.
-
Thank you Rich apology i dont check my list regularly. There IS pauze now but just so you know, im Still thinking of figurehead to me Made somwhow and to get nameboard and hoods laser cut. And update. This IS proper height of her in scale after rescaling. First fine. So there Will probably be second attempt somwhow. Not sure how .
-
Folks. After long thinking.This IS how im going to tackle center of deck. No full planking just coamings hatches and in between. I Hand knife cut rear hatches .i go this way Also in forecastle so stove Will be Fully visible and almost everything in rear and between.
-
pretty fine work Bob. congrats.
-
Rich yep I agree. Robs working around bowsprit and rigging at whole is better guidance than any book for me. as far as Figurehead goes, that Boxwood sculpture is beautifull indeed but i do find there one substantial anatomical flaw that doesnt do it for me. Men like proportion between waist and top of bac kand shoulders. no women in world have triange or men proportion - broader shoulders quite opposite exactly same. its my another hobby to paint portraits, i noticed thst immediately. Robs figurehead is closer to original and for me wins in that conparison . no matter detail, when a atomy is destryed nothing would save it. not trying to undermine it it. it is glorious work of a master that i admire in any other respect. ...
-
You are still humble and hard on yourself that you shouldnt. It is beyond my comprehension how for gods sake you could elaborate even face details like eyes nose lips proportionally but there is also glipm of gesture. im sure you worked under magnifying glass but. i have cutty sark figure of revell in 1:96 and it is pure crap comparing to this . i can tell you. everybodys praise is well deserved.
