  1. 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?
  2. 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.
  3. I can second Marks words. The Triton section makes also a really nice model.
  4. That are good news. I will wait for the 1/48 scale figures. Have you also planned some sailors and gun crews?
  5. Hi Ed, what a really beautiful model. Congratulation for finishing her.
  6. 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.
  7. Interesting project. I will follow you with interest. Perhaps Fusion 360 is a simpler way for checking my reconstruction. Do you know, if it is possible to load a DWG file as startup point?
  8. Congratulation for finishing this beautiful model. It was a long journey, also for the readers of your log. But it makes a lot of fun to follow your progress. Thanks for sharing.
  9. Really nice progress on the master for the group build. Do you also build the scond version without the full planking first?
  10. Is it possible to have a look at your model, if I am in the hood. I live for a longer period in Amsterdam.
  11. Today I glued the parts of the keel of my little model together. To glue the apron, the rising wood and the deadwood centrally on the keel I build a simple jig.
  12. The colour of the wood is perfect for planking. Is it possible to show a picture with the cedar and a piece of pear wood? I am really interested to see how they looks together. I think on my Triton project.
  13. Congratulations for this beautyful model. It was a great pleasure to follow your log the last five years.
  14. Very impressive presentation, Albert
  15. Chuck, The second version of the keel looks perfect. What kind of timber do you use for the frameing? It Looks different to the cedar of the keel? I like allway the idea to combinate the cedar with pear or cherry for the framenig.
