Thanks Rusty. Exactly, i like everoynesA bit different depiction or slight subtle color variations.

Excelent progress Frank.hat off. V.

That IS epic ! Congratulations.

Happy new year Folks. I worked on chapter 9 and 10 preparations over christmass time. I see its sold out already but ill wait when Chuck restocked it or maybe even for chapter 10. My ugly duck Will look different from yours as I decided not to proceed with planking along Wales ! Only in center . The reason IS i want to leave knees Fully exposed, but i do want to install Few guns on q deck so i Will make very small Partial decks only under two or there guns just underneath IT. ! I have it on papier i Will post the idea. So far i again sanded knees after installation and finished corner planks , or whatever they are called. I was thinking a lot about how to proceed and im Happy with this decision as beams are natural hull color and deck IS cherry so i sorted IT púť this way and mismatcu would veď to much. This looks mi uniform together I think.

Fantastic depiction of Great republic Rob and wow glory Will be masted soon. It once again gives me proof and goosebumps that true treasures and highligts of these Giant vessels are not in there body but All in thier Sphisticated rigging and mightly sails views ! Instead of trying to move Glory away i should start of Fully rigging her and learning to make those beautiful sails! Then we have amusing continuation for Few years ahead Sorry try to hijack thread Rob, pic of her Lines Once again. And i Made new proper big Cabin planked roof over christmass - weathered. Still commited to her.

@Rich, @Rob, Dear Friends, I decided I have small favor to ask you in benefit of Glory of the Seas herself and our joined commitment itself I believe. As much as I love Glory herself I want her to be in her homeland so that AS many people Can see her hull in her true form and participate in and her history wrote so magnificently and so sorrowfulpy at the end. For sake of IT so as many people Can see her, I already wrote an email to Boston maritime and i plan to wrote to San Francisco museum as I believe those two towns have strongest Bond to any clipper of era. As I dont think I have rights and i dont own right to work I consider we All Made, I decided to do IT merely as a donation. Im not asking more than symbolic 500 usd - for full one year of extensive labor plus insured shipping. I would not sleep Well if i hang her on ebay , that idea IS far and cruel to me as I would Keep her myself rather. but if you knew someone who could value appreciate her truest form yet reconstructed with help of Michael Mjelde yet unseen photographs and as i Will always be proud with building with such authorities as Rob W and Richard Jones are on the subject ! and Can appreciate true meticulous boxwood detailing of Captian Cabin true moldings ornamentals and proper planking strakes and her coppering, All true deck details AS various molded Sheeran and Lines ... Food sake of future generations please kindly let me know. I owe you both, sincerely Vlad

Happy new year Rob ! wow breathtaking pics. i cant believe these two are in same scale that difference is massive. She must have been a titanic like for crew and would have been a vision .

Promised glory vs cutty sark deck & bow outline shape comparison. Though Revell cutty stern IS plain incorrect. But doesnt matter atm.

Rich my heart says yes and yes to both but I dont assume I will have such free time this year as I happened to find myself in spring and summer last year. it was rare coincidence of stars :)) . i wish to help most likely by some evenings. but first i need to get rid of glory :))) joking. well I promised to family that i wont build or bring home another boat till previous one is gone. tough life. with another frigate reaching final stage, I promised them to leave some place in house for living by the way where is your NRJ article ? :)))) joking. V.

Gentlemen, I took out glory model and watched her profile yesterday after some time for a while and her uniqueness fascinated me again. this time especially her very short bow profile - that thick arrow - very very promptly fattening up towards her thick wide lines beauty beast indeed. I smiled at her thinking how much she tortured us she shows off with her sleek lines and long stern cabin in every moment. not speaking of Robs continuation - with all the tall splendor...i stand her along with Cutty sark yacht and must say they cant be more different in every possible aspect from top to the bottom. but i am McKay convert though still 3 days but...Wishing Everyone happy New year and good health in 2022!

Merry christmas Everyone ;

Flawless Mathias. Congratulations.

This IS gorgeous. Very Nice. V.

Beautiful work Rusty. Wow. Congrats.

Lovely Job on these Dave.

im sure almost everyone finishing Winnie will have hard time to resist Speedwell. in my opinion is just a perfect in size snd ornamental beauty kind of cross for those skipping and little regretting not trying english cutter or missing its lovely rigging - smaller than winnie, which is for instance without rig understandably. that would be years to finish planking above wales will satisfy both worlds. look of finished ship with full hint of frames below . i clap hands absolutely.

Well Well. Few notes. I feel this Will be tough to watch and swallow for Chuck, i want to say no likes for me folks. I Can tell im Happy scratch modeling IS over and im looking fwd fór next preciusly laser cut chapter. Even with laser cut chapter i never imagined chapter 7 8 would be such difficult and demanding. Slow slow IS sure approach. Pumps look so simple but took me entire day even to assemble them together. Knees are slow work to fit and notoriously boeing fit and sandfit and sand. I utilized Few very Minor details differently fór the fact to cover some perfectionsor imposibility to make myself in pumps like edges cover with black band. Nothing to like here. Im ať the fence of thinking Chuck Will exclude me from this workshop hope not. One important mistakes i Made silly of me i run pump wire trhu Columns, in Rush i started to drill Holes of decorated Columns. By the tíme i realised i have even caps Made ready IT was too Late. As i watch later it doesnt také away fine impression but i was really pissed... Regarding first forecastle Beam. I didnt know how to get Column under the Beam so i Worker out Few workarounds. But its not winnie anymore so i Guess i Will scrap IT and move Columns under beam . First be should be straight clean. Im sure Chuck Will like that correction. Arrgh... As cabins walls....yep cartoonish. But i lost balls to try making Windows myself... Especially when i dont have ones laser cut and I destroyed so Many of those. I did best to fit them snugly to walls etc. And i quite like outcome... ..... Thanks for Patience and probably rather skipping or not watching this "scratch" chapter. But im fine with how it Turned out finally . IT was hard to make those myself by hands. From next i to fresh with Chucks precious pieces. V.

youre going like a train Chuck, we barely keep up watching. Amazing installment, wheel is a beauty. cant wait to order chapter 9 and maybe will wait for chapter 10 as well to save double customs overseas. i have feeling chapter 10 will be ready in few weeks with this pace. white spokes for me indeed

wou wou amazing set of paralell comparison ship photos Rob. absoultely fantastic V.

looks shipshape. classy work wow.

How IS things Gentlemen? After spring and pause im back to winnie starting chapter 7. This Has Been on work for some time. As i had already beams cut, i thought that this Will be only chapter i Can make without precious laser cut pieces..Wellsome of them..and IT Will add to my skill improvement and much more pleasure than laser char removal....besides.. Chuck IS encouraging us fór this approach here and there add well.. i Will see how it goes....decided i Will tackle chapter from scratch, i see raised eyebrows but not in entirety. Doors Will be laser cut. I dont want to spoil winnie so when there are pieces not Up to solid look i Will probably redo. But i Guess center bits are pretty easy stuff, AS Well as collumns . Its far tougher than laser pieces modifying to get approximate result and IT Will never be such beautiful but my winnie IS cripled in many wany ways already. I Will be glad if Chuck IS honest here and if something IS Bad IS Bad. Started with stove - i aimed for effect of copper stove already weathered by many years of smoke. Thanks for watching Advice etc. Sharp eyes wont Escape to notice Few things are adjusted to as laser minicut IS impossible by hands i regret a bit that upper plates on stove are little smaller than should be not following edges of stove nearer..but IT was hell of a work though

Congrats to deck Matt. We are on par now here. I brushed dust off winnie and m about to start again after almost year of pause with chapter 7. Slowly :)) V.

Incredible indeed !

Looking fwd to Robs mAsting rigging sails. Then glory Will shine in her spectacle from boots to the cap! Im heading to my year put aside frigate along with winnie group. But eyeing here. V.

Great catch Richard. from vague eyeing it pretty much correaponds with Crothers American clipper "bible." by the way, your plan arrived. Thank you very much indeed, im pretty excited but i want to share photo if it on display it deserves on my wall. V.
