Fun stuff making the little sticks fit, but it looks so good when it’s finished. Your journey is near the end. Great work Ben!- 399 replies

Just catching up on your log. Very nice work and progress. I enjoy watching another Cheerful coming to life. Well done!

It’s your model and your choice. Not sure how anyone can claim to know the shade of paint on a ship that hasn’t existed for hundreds of years. I also like it, very striking. Beautiful work, exquisite detail.

I have 13 models sitting about the house, none have cases. They are all fine, easy to view and seemingly much more a part of the home furnishings, at least to me. Dust is not a major issue, there just not that much of it. I turn them every 3-6 months and use a blower (not a high powered air can , but a more gentle blower) and soft brush to remove the dust that has collected. My oldest model was built in 2006. This process works for me, I just don’t like the concept of hiding them behind acrylic.

Nothing here to dread it seems, very nice work.

Nice looking tiller.

Next is the fun of the head timbers………

Your usual stellar work. Good luck with the move, never fun.

Yours is such a great build. The paintwork is especially nice. I understand a bit about slowing down, I was a little reluctant to finish mine, it having occupied me for three years.
-
Thank you all for the gracious comments. I really enjoyed this build, a little sad it’s finished.

Cutting out a copy of the stern is a good idea, something I did as well in fact I had two copies of the plans, one just for cutting out various pieces. Glad my log is helpful.

Very nice work, as always.
-
Hopefully you haven’t done this yet. These don’t get cut down for a while but the do get cut down in a curve higher than bulwarks. I believe I showed my wale placement in my log, it worked out well as I did it. You are correct to check. Every step at this point of the build is critical to your future success.

Great work Rusty. So much to line up and fair…

Wipe On Poly Techniques

I have always used cut up cotton t-shirts, no fiber issues. -
I failed a lot, just keep pushing. No model is perfect.

Great question. I thing something simpler like the Medway Longboat.

You’re really moving along, it looks great. I got stuck for a long while sorting out head timbers, I’m sure you’ll fly right thru it. So much great detail in such a small space chapter 12, fun stuff.

That’s some serious sanding, my elbow hurts just looking at it. Looking great!

Thanks. It’s true building Cheerful taught me lessons I carried over to Winchelsea, modelling is definitely a progressive skill set.
