Very nice work! Congratulations on retiring, now you have plenty of modeling time! -
I finished the stbd side planking of the main wale up..finally. I apologize in advance to anyone who takes on this planking behemoth! I attempted to give a more “worn” look to the wales, similar to some of the contemporary models I’ve seen, I need to play with it a little more but I think it adds a little character. I still need to clean up the gunports a little more and then paint the margins of the planks after another coat or WOP, but I’m finally making some noticeable progress. Thanks for looking in. JJ

Thank you Fred, I’m making a career change that’s going to allow me to dive into Portland almost full time, but I have to wait until January, but I do have some updates on Portland coming shortly. In the meantime, in about a month, ill be able to direct some major efforts towards completion of my Winnie.

If you’re interested in laser cutting, I’d be happy to discuss.

I had to immediately tie all mine together on Portland, some were over 5” long. The longitudinal gunport structure is a good way to do this and kill two birds with one stone. I also utilized the strip along the top, but mine is integrated into the design and permanent and like Chuck, I’ve used it for a fairing guide on the inside and out.

Stunning work Fred! I’m now extremely motivated to resume work on my Winnie, next month. Keep the updates coming! JJ

Hi Fred, Thank you! The lower gunports will have all their doors but I will be showing them Open, as shown on the painting. The gun deck will be fully fitted with 24pdrs and visible through the main deck.

Very impressive. Looks like my decision in which 3D printer to purchase is being made easy.

It seems you and I are in an competition now to see who can put off working on their Winnie the longest😂 Great photos of the NMM, post more when you can, I’m curious about some of those two deckers. Enjoy your trip.

Completed the upper stbd wale, a little tricky in the front area where the grating will eventually go. As you can see in the photo below, the precut sub deck piece has a spacer on it that represents the eventual boxwood piece that will hold the gratings in place below the 3D model shows this piece in place already. This will come later for obvious reasons, it is just too fragile to survive the build. the upper most plank for the upper Wales needs to be slightly trimmed so this place holder sits on top of it as seen below you can see a slight notch at the end of the beak head bulkhead, this plank needs to be bent and shaped first before being notched otherwise it will break every time . The rest of the planks are business as usual, heat, bend, notch for gunports and glue. I started at the lower plank and worked my up. I sanded them down smooth and added some WOP to protect them. Next I will move up with the thinner planks (.045”) to meet the upper panel which is a little thicker to allow some sanding. Very slow and steady. JJ

Those guns look wonderful Chuck! Plans to do a 24 pdr? Amazing what printers can do. What printer are you using? Anycubic?

Lovely Subject Kevin! I would go 1/48, the detail is much cleaner and easier to manage. The model won’t be offensively large compared to your Thorn model. -
Such a nice job Dusan! Excellent Winnie Build!
-
Nicely done Yves! Quite the project you’ve taken on. Very nice display! Inspiring me to work on my Portland further. JJ

Hi Yves, Thank you, yes that it Artemis I will complete the bow with an arrow upon final assembly. The figure you are looking at is actually boxwood, I have yet to produce a resin one. If you look back a few posts you will see the stern carvings as well, those will also be boxwood and I should have the first sets soon. JJ
-
Slowly working on the port side wales now, when I can find time. Should have some finalized QG’s soon and a test drop in resin. When that’s finalized, will begin production of boxwood carvings. started playing with this new sticker feature on my phone, tricky way to make a full white background. Works about half the time JJ
