  1. Wow! What a stunning model! Incredible work!
  2. Thanks Glenn. There’s an incredible amount of work and investment that goes into this, lots of design and redesign and I haven’t even began physically building it yet aside from what I’ve shown. It really adds another layer of admiration to the Winchelsea project as well as others such as the work Chris produces. JJ
  3. Hi Matt, the figurehead was produced exactly as the figurehead for the Winnie. I provided a 3D model of the knee to @Jack H along with the rough dimensions and paintings of the contemporary figurehead and Jack did the sculpting work in Zbrush. From there the file can be produced into a real wood sculpture with a CNC machine. Keep following this log for updates on all the stern carvings as they are in the works currently. I’m finishing up the initial structure design of the model right now. I hope to be building the actual prototype by September.
  4. Stick with model ships, I’d say you’re doing very well with this project.
  5. Nice work on chapter 9! Looks really good Matt. I broke all the same pieces as well! They are very fragile and snap very easy.
  6. Beautiful work! That looks so good with the pear(?) deck beams. Good luck with your move. JJ
  7. Well done Matthias! That just looks so good with the gratings complete. Very nice execution. JJ
  8. Thank you Don. I think you’ll like it out there. Bend is growing into a destination spot but still has a small town feel and great weather year round.
  9. Excellent work Don! Your Winchelsea has turned out just wonderful! Congratulations! Do you plan to build a nice display? I will look forward to following your cheerful progress! JJ
  10. Good luck Ben, glad to see I’m not the only one with a packed up Winnie model. Chuck is right, you will miss the snow!
  11. Lovely work Don! Glad to see you back and almost at the finish line. Those headrails and grating look very good. JJ
  12. Thank you Rusty! I should have some updates to the digital model soon. Thank you @rlwhitt. I recently purchased the Boss LS-2440, so far I’m very happy with it but of course I’m still learning the ropes and how to fine tune it.
  13. This will be my last physical model update for a bit as I’ve returned to work which means I’m away from my laser. Before I left I just wanted a nice mock up of the basic Skelton so I cut the outer aft transom frames just to give an idea of the overall length and height of the hull. For the next couple months I will be “assembling” Part1 of the kit on my computer to make sure everything required to make the hull is included and fits correctly. This will also yield all my cut files for that part of the model. Stay tuned for updates.
  14. Thank you Chuck! That means a lot. I’m currently working on the 3D assembly and cut files for Part 1 of the kit and will be posting updates soon. Thank you Fred! You Brits just built so many elegant ships that we can’t help ourselves but model them!😁
