I used model railroad materials for the fire bricks.

Here we are with all the little bits temporarily in place. Next I will work on the rudder and various cleats before turning to the upper deck.

I also managed to frame in the stern windows. Not sure yet if I will add something to simulate glass. Zoomed in photos are brutal, lol.

I have also spent the last several months learning some new skills. I turned all of the cannons and swivel guns on a Sherline lathe. There is a whole bag of practice cannons before I got to these. Next I need to learn silver soldering to finish these guys up as well as the various other metal working on the ship.

I have also been working on lots of little bits here and there. I am especially happy with how the capstan turned out.

Construction on the galley has proceeded in fits and starts since the last post. Time for some updates. I wasn't sure about adding treenails to the deck. I decided on yes, and am very happy with the result. Nails were made from cherry.

There are many amazing models on this site, but this is one of my role models for precision wood working. Incredible!

Bitao,
This is amazing work. Your craftsmanship is beyond most of us on the site, but I love seeing the limits of what is possible. It gives a lot of inspiration and ideas for techniques even for those of us not quite as skilled. This is one of the few models I have seen with the pump dales actually in place.

Pirate adam reacted to Rustyj in HMS Winchelsea - FINISHED - 1764 - by Chuck (1/4" scale)
Hi Chuck, I've had the pleasure of see your Winnie in person and your design and workmanship is simply stunning.
Ok just for grins and giggles I requisitioned (stole) the Admirals kitchen food scale and weighed my Winnie. She currently tips the scales at 5lbs 8ozs. (2.5kg). Might have to put her on a diet.

Glen,
That is a really cool display. One of the most unique displays of a ship in bottle I have seen.
