Chuck, Sorry if this has been asked before, but I can't find anything in the various logs. Do you have a sense of how much the Winchelsea's hull weighs at this point? Adam

You make it look so easy Marsalv! I have learned so much from reading through this log and your Pandora log. It makes me want to practice, practice, practice. Great work. Adam

Rope making attempts - Feedback requested
Pirate adam replied to Moonbug's topic in Masting, rigging and sails
It looks great to me. I also recently bought a Rope Rocket, and I have been really happy with it so far. I agree with Chuck that making the rope is weirdly satisfying, and my wife even found it interesting. -
I really like the river raft. That is a cool execution of a very creative idea. Adam

BTW, all of the Vallejo paint on the bench is NOT for the Washington. It is only used for plastic airplanes

I have been a bit of the passenger on the site as late, but work on the Washington has continued in fits and starts over the last couple of years. Construction has picked up nicely as of late, and I think we may just end up with a finished galley at some point Here is the latest look at work to date. I have treated a lot of the pear wood as well as the decking with a layer of tung oil. Decking is holly. I'm super happy with the look especially on the areas that were coated a year+ ago. I am planning to leave the gun deck more or less as-is with half of the beams exposed. I'm still deciding whether or not to add another row or two of planks below the wales. I have seen models either way, and both look fine. Next up I will start with the internal planking. Adam

Pirate adam replied to albert's topic in - Build logs for subjects built 1751 - 1800
Looking forward to seeing this one develop Albert. -
Stove in place.
-
I used model railroad materials for the fire bricks.
-
I made the stove out of plastic and brass bits.
-
Platform and well in place.
-
Limber boards in place.
-
Mast steps and limber strakes.
-
Deck clamps in place.
-
Progress on the model continues much faster than progress on the build log. I will try to get caught up. Here are the stern timbers all boxed in.
-
The tricky ones....
-
Construction is underway on the stern frames.
-
Fairing of the frames is more or less done inside and out.
-
Progress continues much faster than updates. I haven't given up on this thing. All framing is now done with the exception of the ports for the sweeps.
-
I just happened upon this build on the IPMS site a few minutes ago. Spectacular. The lighting is great!
