Thank you, Glenn and Ben. Also, thanks for the likes. The deadeyes have been completed on both the port and starboard sides. On top of the anchor linings are the billboards. They are laser cut from cherry and required just a little sanding to get them to fit. Then the frieze was added to the top of the billboard. So, when you print out the friezes for the hull in chapter 3 don't discard them like I did as you will need them still in this chapter. After the billboards there were fenders and chesstrees. They are assembled in three pieces but prior to putting them together the center piece needs to be tapered. You can see the laser cut piece and with the one sanded and tapered. Once assembled I sanded the outside layer even a little thinner. The frieze was then added, molding trimmed and then glued in place. Now I was looking at the plans and realized I need to make 34 more eyebolts before I can start on the boarding ladder and swivel guns. Like gun carriages it seems the eyebolts never end.

I've pinned all of the chainplates to the hull on the starboard side. I'm now moving to the portside chainplates. Once they are completed I'll start on the billboards, chesstrees, fenders and boarding ladders.

I've been slowly making some progress on the starboard side. The channels have been placed in their positions. Before adding the straps, I heated the ends of a pair of small needle nose pliers over a candle and bent them as Chuck described. The straps were then added and pinned. I then put all of the deadeyes in the strops and placed them in the correct locations. The chainplates and stools were added and are ready for pinning them to the hull.

Thank you Mike. Yes they were fun to do. Hi Glenn, Yes it is very enjoyable, though it means I'm now much closed to the end than the beginning. Thanks Chuck. They are well designed and went through without any issues. Thanks all for the likes too!

Some progress has been made though most of it is preparation work. I did put the hinge pins on the remaining gunport lids and installed them. I then worked on the channels, sanding the char and gluing the layers as Chuck described. I too used the Scotch spray adhesive on them. After they were dry, I also put on a coat of wipe on poly. Next I assembled the 5mm deadeyes from Syren, sanded them and dyed them dark brown. Also here are the acrylic strops, chainplates and straps. I have to lightly sand them with 400 grit and then apply some weathering power. Once I assemble and finish the 6 mm deadeyes, I'll start placing the channels and deadeyes on the Winnie.

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal.
