Glenn,
As always, your work looks superb. I like the idea of airbrushing the cannons. As I approach that stage with my Cheerful build's cannonades/cannons, I think I may do the same. It seems a bit tedious to hand paint them all!

I really should get some weather power - your cannons (as well as everything else) look awesome. I have to stop looking before I convince myself that I need an airbrush as well.
You have done a remarkable job with your Winchelsea!

Thanks for the comment Eric. My cannons are a two step process. First airbrushing with Admiralty Paints Ironworks Black (I love the stuff, a rich matte black), airbrushing both the carriages and the guns produces a much more even finish, especially on the barrels. Then a four different brush application of Doc OBrien’s Rusty Brown weathering powder (which I also more lightly apply to the cap squares to bring it all together. Don't know why but the combination turns the cannons into a nice gun metal gray, credit goes to Chuck for the Rusty Brown, not an obvious choice.
Enjoying your work on Cheerful as well.

Thank you for the kind words. Glad my log will be of some help. Both Cheerful and now Winchelsea are great build, lots of challenges and lots of fun - with a little frustration here and there.

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.

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

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.
