  1. I’m definitely going to keep these in mind for down the road.
  2. Beautiful work Siggi! Everything looks perfect! Your Tiger build is my primary source of inspiration for my Portland model.
  3. Hi Fred, Yes it is, it needs some revising as I’ve learned more since I modeled the bowsprit, but you get the idea. Winnie should be very similar, I’m sure Chuck knows way more. Im flying home to begin cutting the first part of the model. I’ll be assembling two prototypes and will be posting updates very soon. Stay tuned!
  4. Beautiful work Fred! Excellent idea with the balsa and your fairing looks really good from here. As Chuck Pointed out early on, it’s very important to get those frames all faired up to the right thickness. This should be a great build. You should be able to contain your bowsprit in the structure that comes down from the bitts, this should allow you to partially plank the forecastle deck. i have not looked at the drawings for Winnie but I’m betting it’s very similar to a 4th rate. There would obviously be structure where the end of the bowsprit would fit into.
  5. Outstanding! What a beautiful model! This is just incredible work you have done. Congratulations!
  6. Costs are pretty much the same either way. AYC will have more of a contemporary model look to it, depending on how you treat it, but some prefer the warmer brown tones of the cherry. I think both look great ( see Rusty’s build log).
  7. I think the trumpeter 1/200 is probably the best on the market currently, yet still requires modifications if you want to be really accurate. But out of the box it appears to build into a nice Titanic. Olympic and Britannic are also possible with modifications.
  8. Very cool little kit! It looks like a very well designed project. Thanks for sharing!
  9. Looking very nice Glenn. Your railings look very good, tricky to install, no doubt. Well done. I didn’t even glue my QG roofs/rails on until the end of ch 11 I think! I knew they were doomed had i not.
  10. Outstanding! One of the best rigged models I’ve seen.
  11. Welcome to the group! Looks like you’re off and running with a great start!
  12. Incredible work! Congratulations on completing a beautiful model! It’s been a pleasure watching this build as well as a great learning experience. What’s next? JJ
  13. I really like the idea of multiple models in one case and beautiful work on your previous display. Looking forward to seeing more.
  14. Hi Alan, haha I hear what you’re saying. I was more referring to SE FL, I just moved out of Boynton and had to drive and deal with Miami and FTL traffic daily… that’s certainly nothing like what you describe! I always liked the west side much more. Miami/Lauderdale area is definitely a zoo, I lived in green acres at one point and traffic was backed up all the way up there. JJ
  15. Great work Matt, well done on chapter 9, it looks really good. You’re getting close to the end!
  16. Well Done Steve! She looks great! Chapter 12 really is the icing on the cake. Congratulations on completing your Winnie (well almost). Are you going to drive her down there or attempt to fly?
  17. Beautiful planking Frank! Congratulations on a job well done! Very impressive work!
  18. Very nice work Ondras! Excellent metal work!
