Waldemar, that is just amazing work! I’m just speechless. What did you render it in? -
That looks very good Chuck! The laser square tuck transom is very nice and impossible to tell it’s just one piece.
-
Very nice display Jim! Turned out just wonderful!
-
Those coils look great Fred, very convincing. I used to make them a similar way but once placed on the model I would place an appropriate sized dowel at the bottom of the coil that was weighted, then I would apply diluted PVA or poly and simply wait for them to dry, extremely tedious but it gave the impression of gravity doing its job very well.

Chuck, I think the deadeyes look great and very convincing, I do however like your wood ones and I’m partial to wood, even though it requires more work. I will try out some of your new ones just to see how they look in person but I don’t think they will make it on my winnie, she’s got a full compliment of fresh boxwood ones already, it will have to be my next project.

NyQuil is really the only reason to get sick otherwise there’s no point. Take care and get well soon Chuck.
-
I like the white as it’s more convincing but I’m open to a boxwood color and like Ben said, they can be painted. Very cool discovery though. What is the material?
-
Very nice work! Those columns look excellent!
-
Very nice work! I like how precision your placement is, it will show later. Or should I say, pay dividends later.
-
Beautiful model! Very well executed!
-
Job well done Fred, what an excellent model of cheerful you have built. No doubt you are ready to tackle Winnie and I’m really looking forward to seeing her back on your work bench!
-
Thank you Dusan.
-
That looks great Dusan! The friezes are very well produced on the Winnie, I often wondered if decals would look better but I don’t think so. They are the next best thing to actually painting them…. In this case you could use them as a guide and paint right over them but that would be crazy!
-
Thank you Glenn, I appreciate it. I haven’t decided if I’m going to rig guns again on my next model, there’s a lot more but it would look impressive. I’m leaning towards red or AYC. Who knows.
-
A quick look back at my model shows that I did fill both sides. Soon you will see in the monograph that the sheaves will go on soon. Place on the outside then drill through to locate the inside.
-
Yes, if I remember correctly that does require filling. You will be adding the sheaves there soon, before you begin planking. The sheaves will show on both sides.
-
Well done. Nice system in place for the hinges!

Thank you Chuck! I forgot to ask you what blocks I need to rig my 6pdr guns🤦♂️ 1/8” Thank you Jim, I have had nothing but model boat free time this season! Thank you Matt, rigging them was definitely no small task. I think the cherry does look good even though not correct for a dockyard model. I have to say though, I could have gone either way, bare AYC or painted, I thought they all look great. I think the bare AYC shows the most details though.

Beautiful work Glenn! You seriously must have been a tool and dye maker in a previous life, very methodical with your jigs and tools. I love it. Cheers to gunport lids and all the guns! I found making the gunport lids to be very rewarding as they usually look like crap on most kits. I must have opened and closed mine a hundred times, like a little kid.

Small update: Well today I hit a major milestone on my Winnie, after almost two years (one month shy) I’ve finally completed chapter 6! What a journey! Lol. I feel better about the remaining 8 6pdrs now.
-
Once I got the caprails on it felt like I rounded the corner for the finish line for sure, not only did It give the appearance of an “almost” finished model but the black added a much needed contrast to all the red and bare wood that needed to be covered. Looks good Matt, you’re closing in.
-
Those Timbers look just awesome Rusty! Everything lines up very nice and symmetrical!

Looks good Matt! Well done. I like your fishing lines you’ve employed to line up those carlings. I used blue tape and ended up redoing them all! You’re moving on to the really fun stuff now!

Very nice work Tom!
