Having recently had extensive back surgery I know the feeling. Take it slow. -
The bollards seem simple but I spent a great deal of time, and more than one attempt, to get them right on Winchelsea. So you’re not alone. Do keep in mind a lot of things fit around them as the model progresses, its work looking forward in the instructions to visualize how that all come together.

Like others I left mine natural, the same with the quarter galleries. I think it ties in much better with the rest of the ship. White would stand out as the only white. I like the natural result.

Nice and bright! What a long way you’ve come!

Tapering and bending to shape a plank so it almost lays correctly without gluing is key to planking. It is a learned skill few of us get right the first time around. I learned a great deal and after building a number of models re-crafted my own planking after watching thes Chuck Pisarro videos. Here’s a link: Planking videos Whatever you do don’t be discouraged. I removed and replaced enough planking to cover three sides of a hull more often than not.

If I get to the point of taking on another multi-year project this would be it. It’s really shaping up to be a beauty. I like your website and enjoyed your blog article. Nice to see there is a new source for Winchelsea. Hope you’re able to add Cheerful as well. I do have a temptation to build her again, this time in all boxwood. Though it seems we lost our US based source for wood packages.

Great to see you back at it. -30, not for me.

Did I buy the first version of the rope hank too soon

WOP is a great finish I always use. Homemade WOP even better Fun video.

I didn’t see it listed on your website, but then it also closed for maintenance. 😊

Very impressive carvings.
-
I’ll add another half layer to howser openings, I like how it looks on Winchelsea. The design details are impressive as always.
-
That’s all we need. Better blocks is such a major upgrade to any model. Anyone can scratch from there as they choose.
-
Nothing that big for me.
-
I’m in for the pre-order, when does that start? Although it may be cheaper for me to fly there and pick it up given tariffs and shipping. Happy New Year!

That ‘gap’ is pretty standard, it is also on my Winchelsea. On my Surprise I’ll defer adding that rail until most everything else around the stern is finished. While building Winchelsea I became very good at knocking it off multiple times. I’ll also paint that top to match either the trim or the shingles before adding the rail, me having less nimble fingers than James. I like how it’s coming together.

Wow Frank, those are excellent.
-
Looking great!
-
Very fine work! The head rails and grating were the hardest part for me on Winchelsea, yours here are nicely done. Nice workspace you have as well.

Welcome aboard. Looking forward to your log, I haven’t seen many 1:25 models. It will be fun to see.
