    Thanks Chuck, Yeah, I'm glad I chose the cherry version. Although I was a little worried at first about how it would turn out in that size. I had a cherry on the Revenge from a different source, and I didn't like the "tigering" there so much. That's why I used a different source for the Winie and cut the strips slightly different so that the grain wasn't so visible. I'm trying to build a Stern lantern. I tried, but it didn't work as well as I imagined. Hopefully I will finish it and then decide if it will be on the models . I have already made a request to local companies to make me a plexiglass case And I'm already thinking about what to do next...

    Hi Ben, the case looks great. Do you have any older acrylic cases on other models? How do they look after all these years? Is there any yellowing? Don't they scratch when you dust them? I like them because at this size the glass is heavier and definitely more expensive I think. Here in Slovakia, or at least in the EU, I haven't found a manufacturer yet...

    Thank you guys, I'm one step away from the finish line. Swivel Guns will not be displayed, so the last step is to make a Stern Lantern. And also time to make the stand and find a company that will make me a glass or acrylic case.

    Wow, a beautiful and unique model Ben. I loved following your diary. Congratulations on the finishing
  25. westwood
    yes I agree, looks amazing Ben!

    continued... I finished the fancy roof rail qgallery and I started to place the carvings and fittings for the Qdeck…
  28. westwood
    This looks amazing, Matthias. You are a master carver!

    Hey guys, Thanks for your kind words and likes. I'm slowly making progress, finishing things I've been putting off. I cleaned up the carvings and since I couldn't get the Old Masters Gel Stain I had to find another solution with Vallejo Wash. I also had to paint the friezes on the binnacle... It didn't turn out as I wanted, but I can live with it. The belfry, belfry rail and other details and the forecastle are almost finished. The breastrail.... is finished and I just have to install the rest of the parts and finish the quarterdeck.

    Hello I've finished the belfry and some bits and pieces, so I'm slowly starting to fit out the forecastle deck
  31. westwood
    It looks gorgeous.
  32. westwood
    Thanks for the comments and likes guys. I'm already finishing Six Pounders for the Qdeck...

    Hey Glenn, I've been following your blog since the beginning, I always enjoyed it when you posted new photos and comments, insights from the build. It was a great motivation for me. Thank you for that. You have built a really beautiful and admirable model. Congratulations and I can't wait to see what you will do next time.

    Hey guys, It's been almost a month since my last post. As I get closer and closer to finishing this build, it seems to slow down. But the main thing is that I'm trying to keep going.

    Hi no staining on the hull and deck, just WOP. I've only stained deadeyes to match the rest.
