  1. Beautiful work Glenn! It’s been great following along, you’ve kept the bar set pretty high for us fellow winnie builder's, looking forward to see what you build next.
  2. Congratulations Chuck! Peace and quiet awaits! You could test the water integrity of your new designs in any one of those water features nearby.
  3. Think I’m going to jump in tomorrow or the next day. Most of my tools are still in the mail. But I got her out of her crate and back on the bench.
  4. Glad to hear you’re getting better Ron. You shouldn’t have any problems unloading this gem.
  5. Hi Ben, the gun deck will be complete with all the 24 pdrs as well as cabins, chain pumps and fittings. It will be fully viewable through the framed upper deck with minimal planks. As soon as the hull is planked I will begin working on the gun deck. Im looking forward to making some progress on my Winnie as well, it’s been way too long and I’m so close to the end!
  6. Thank you Glenn. Hope to be working on Winnie in a couple weeks!
  7. Quick update: Planking above the wales is complete on the port side and all the gun ports are cleaned up and painted. Need to finish a few details on the stbd side channel wale planking and that’s it for now. My Winnie awaits me back home! Crating model and shipping to mainland and its eventual trip across the country.
  8. Beautiful work Marsalv! The joinery on the ebony looks very good.
  9. I think I’m going to, 17th century Dutch ships always grab my eye. Perhaps I can collaborate with Ab and produce any one of the wonderful models/plans he’s made.
  10. Hi Brian, ha! nothing larger in the pipeline as of now, but seriously considering another 4th rate from the 17th century and possibly a smaller 17th century Dutch vessel. Have to see how Portland finishes up and if anyone even builds it. Chucks work, specifically Winchelsea, is a major source of inspiration in designing Portland.
