Yes that is very nice!

Great job on the planking JJ. Looks real nice.

Very nice workmanship Matthias!

Well done Glenn!

That shot with the supervisor also presents an interesting perspective.  It looks like the model  is at least 1:10 scale..

Picking that hull up and moving around makes it seem 1:10 scale too! Thanks

Thanks Chuck. Yes I plan on painting them black and use some weathering powder. I'll

definitely sand them down and try my best to balance them! 

Thanks nzreg, She had her walkies and needed a nap! When she's awake she's usually asking for a treat.

Also thanks for the likes.

I've added the Syren laser cut fluted columns to the qgalleries and sanded the slope for the roof.

I've also made a test run of the shingles for the roof sticking them in place with rubber cement.

I just wanted to familiarize myself with the placement prior to gluing them in place.

This size roofing shingles are much easier on the body though I'm having a hard time finding a nail gun in this scale!

Thanks Glenn!

Thank you Chuck. Yes they go together very nicely. If I didn't already have the pear I definitely would have done her in cherry.

Thanks Mike! Having fun when I can get into the shop!  Also thanks for the likes.

Thanks Fred. With summer upon us you will probably go roaring past me in no time.

I've framed in the windows for the qgallaries. The window frames as well as the rest of the

chapter three parts that came from Syren are first rate. Not that it comes as any surprise.

Chuck includes extra window frames and lucky for me as I had one casualty.

As I said it's busy the summer time with home projects so progress will definitely suffer.

Looks great Glenn. A coat of poly now is what I normally do. 

Everything is looking really good. I like that you planked the deck too!

Hi Don. I seldom use a dremel for fairing except at the most severe angle. For me it is way to easy to take too much off. Aleve is my friend when fairing. 

Welcome to the club Don!

I've placed the molding across the stern under the windows. I've also shaped the tops of the qgallaries and

temporarily tacked them in place as well and glued the molding to the lower portion of the qgallaries.  

Excuse all the dust and shop debris in the background.

another of your practices I’ve stolen, I mean adopted.

Thanks Glenn. I've been "adopting" everyone's practices here for years.

Thanks Jean-Paul and all the likes too.

I'm tinkering with scrapping the moldings for the qgalleries and stern. This is the third attempt

and the first worth posting. The molding is 1/8" wide and 1/32" thick.

The picture isn't real clear but I think this is close.

Take your time with those qgalleries.   They are tricky buggers.

Oh don't I know that. I must say I like the changes you've made to the v2.0 qgalleries over the ones we did in v1.0.

Thanks  nzreg. I've downloaded all sorts of pictures from various build logs and continuously bounce between them,

the plans and Chucks directions. I'll still mess some up but hopefully will keep it to a minimum.

Ouch! Sorry to hear about the battle damage your first hull received. I'm so glad you reordered and are back in business. Great job on the winch by the way!

Thanks Jorge and thanks for all the like too!

I've glued the transom in place and the filler pieces have been placed on top of the transom to cover the two layers. They are 1/64" thick!  

I've also placed the quarter galleries window.

The starboard side framing has started. The two pieces have been temporally placed with rubber cement as I check them out before permanently gluing them in.

Hi Shawn,

Welcome aboard! I'm sure you'll enjoy building the Winnie. Don't worry about miss steps, we all could fill volumes confessing ours.

Just take it slow and steady and continually check and recheck everything. Something I could do more of myself.  

Great workmanship and explanation Mike. Always a pleasure seeing your updates!

I've cut the transom out of 3/64" thick stock. This is the third attempt and it seems it was the proverbial charm.

First one the scroll saw went a wee bit out side the lines. The second one succumbed to heavy handed me.

I rough cut it on the scroll saw leaving the lines. I then fine tuned it with knives, files and sanding sticks.

I've clamped the transom in place so far the fit doesn't look to bad to me.

Before I permanently glue it in place and plank the upper counter I will test fit as many pieces to see if there are any potential issues.

Congrats on completing chapter 1. Looking really good!

I received chapter 3 laser cut parts in cherry from Syren today and I must say they looked great online and are even more impressive in person.

Now the quarter galleries fun begins!
