Really great progress, Jorge

See my post 😉

Hi Toni,

sorry to hear that, but I respect your decision.

Hope this helps: 1/48 * x = 1/35 ==> x = 48/35 = 1.3714 or 137.14%

Hi all,

I know, that you have prepared some kits, but I like to ask, if it is possible to make the drawings and description available for members out of the US (for me Germany) . I like to give this small project a try but with shipping costs and tax it will become to expansive for me for a training project

This looks great, Chuck

One possibilty is a stretching of the paper if you glue it on the timber.

In my opinion it's not a problem to send over the line. Let enough wood at the side of the frame that you can check the shape later.

Welcome in the Triton shipyards and a lot of fun with your build

Congratulations for reaching this milestone. The planking looks perfect

Looks really nice. You're on a good way

This are good news. I like to watch your progress. I hope that I can start et the end of the year with my version of tis beautiful little frigate.

Really nice start, Edward and welcome at the Triton shipyards

Really nice progress

That's a nice idea with the cutter. I will try it.

Really nice result, Christian. I like the color of your stand

Can you make some pictures of the colored stand by daylight? What I see looks really nice.

I know, that the wrong place for a discussion, but is the basis -the old Heller kit- a good base for all the work and research you invest? Isn't it easier, if you like to work with Styrene, to do it from scratch with Evergreen-Profiles? I got this question every time I look in your buildlog in my mind.

Really nice model.

Really nice start. You choose the same method I like to us for my own build. How did you made the notches? With the table saw?

Hi all,

first of all I like to thank Chuck and all the other guys in the background which make the group build possible.

I will participate and build this nice 5ft rate frigate, because the reconstruction of my HMS Triton will need much more time and I have lerned in the last years that it don't make sense to build her or any other ship as POF model before I am retired. So I think it is a good possibility to take the challenge of building HMS Winchelsea and improve my skills. In the moment I like to build her fully rigged and colored as the original model. As wood I will use pear, boxwood and other European woods.

For job reasons I live partially in the Netherlands, but I will build her at home in Germany. So I am not the fastest builder of the group.

Yes it is big, but fully rigged a really nice model in that scale. 

I can second Marks words. The Triton section makes also a really nice model.

Cheers Jim, I am having them done in 64th and 72nd for now, with possibly 48th later down the line

That are good news. I will wait for the 1/48 scale figures. Have you also planned some sailors and gun crews?

Hi Ed,

what a really beautiful model. Congratulation for finishing her.

Your planking looks absolut fantastic. I like the color of the cedar. I think it will give a really nice contrast with pear of swiss pear.

The books are really wonderful and a great help.
