  1. I think that would look really good. I personally like the duller not so bright colors, that will definitely compliment the rich color of the pear. I’m toying with adding a little weather to mine. Will see.
  2. I’m a red ochre fan but I’d say second from bottom, X7 is closest to the painting if that’s the route you want to go.
  3. Thank you Frank. Would love to see you build one! Stay tuned for a website soon. I will begin to produce chapter 1 kits in the near future.
  4. Outstanding job so far Ben! Looks great! I took mine outside and hit it with the leaf blower when I was done, did the job….washed my car afterward.
  5. Just glue it on carefully with some slightly damp pva, it will conform/bend. you just need to bend up upwards less than 1/16”. Or you can stretch it in a photoshop program.
  6. Draping surfaces, constructing basic shapes and learning the tool functions will lead you right into modeling ships. Theres likely some marine focused ones. I’m also sure there’s plenty here on MSW. Lots of people are 3D modeling ships on here.
  7. You should follow all the Rhino tutorials until you are proficient with basic surface modeling and 3D construction, From there you can start constructing basic 2D plans into a wire frame 3D object.
  8. Very nicely done on those uprights and windows! Going to make for a good looking QG!
  9. If I can complete 4 full strakes in one day I feel like I was moving fast! This is amazing you did this all in one day!
  10. Thank you Christian. Still a few small bugs that are being worked out of chapter 1 but it’s almost there.
  11. I couldn’t bring myself to glue another plank to anything today. So I decided to work on something fun. I think I have these headrails in a good spot so im going to coat them in WOP and then paint them black on the insides and tops. The head Timbers are in place and I’ll paint those too. A smidge of fine tuning on the headrails when I glue them down should do the trick.
  12. it was a very rewarding part of the build for sure and something I had no experience with. It sure made the model and the friezes pop! And Thank you. It will look really nice sitting next to your Winnie!
  13. Today I finished the main wale, a huge milestone after 10 days of a nonstop planking party. Just half of the other side to go now. Once both wales are complete I can move onto finishing out the gunports with some fine tuning and another nice coat of red. I need to figure out the width of 1-2 planks below the main wale and probably 1-3 planks up from the keel, then I can finally protect all those pear frames and move onto the QG’s.
