Outstanding high standards Glenn. Every picture an inspiration.
I have high ideals, which of course is not the same as high standards, but I would be beyond joyous if able to match those standards you are displaying.
I am learning my trade on Cheerful but 2025 will be Winchelsea year and along with Chuck’s monographs I shall be having your build log with me as escort.
Thank you
Paul

Quarterdeck Cannon
No lengthy explanations, the quarterdeck cannon were made just as the main deck guns detailed in an earlier post.
The carriages were freed of char and air brushed.
One difference from the main guns are the cannon; before being air brushed with Ironwood Black I elected to replace the thin resin trunnions with 19 gauge wire by drilling through the guns using my mill. Or perhaps I should say the decision was made for me with at least three of the guns already having the plastic ones broken off while still in the bag. No doubt carelessness on my part.
The production line is ready.
The completed guns sitting (not glued, that comes later) on the q-deck. I always build one extra … just in case.
On to Chapter 11.

My Chapter 10 posts were too long, I won’t take the time to do that much again.
The quarterdeck is pretty much the last “big” thing to do, starting with planking and ending with rails. It’s been such a journey from the first framing, through months of planking and the many detailed components assemblies since. Not sure I want it to end.
To keep it short, here are just four final photos of the quarterdeck.

glbarlow got a reaction from mtaylor in Ring light
I’ve never seen a Nikon lens with f/40, interesting.
I too rejected ring lights in my photography due to limited use and high price. This seems like a nice price effective choice. Thanks for sharing.

glbarlow got a reaction from Canute in Yellow Boxwood from Model Expo
For the whole model or just the wood?

Not sure basswood for boxwood is a fair exchange, glad it works for you.

Not all of us have high praise, I think they’re a junk company that proudly lists kits based on stolen IP from China.
As Chuck notes The Modeler’s Saw Mill is an excellent US source for wood. I recommend you replace what you have with Alaskan Yellow Cedar (much less than boxwood and easier to work with, though boxwood is amazing). See my Cheerful or Winchelsea build log for more photos on how it looks planked on a hull. Then toss that junk away after sending MS a demand for refund (which you likely won’t get, but you’ll feel better) and post a nice Google Review.
