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!
-
Your choices of wood look great Ron, I’m really enjoying how it all looks together and I’m sure it’s even better in person. It’s amazing how things can look different in person as opposed to a photo, I’ve certainly noticed it with my model as well.
-
Looking really good Ron! Are they boxwood?
-
Looks very good Waldemar! Such an incredible subject you have researched and developed!
-
Remarkable work! What a work of art!
-
Thank you Ron. Appreciate it Thank you Rusty. I think we both started about the same time. It’s been quite the journey and a very rewarding build. Looking forward to seeing you cross the finish line soon. Thank you Greg, that really means a lot coming from you, your work is very inspiring.

Thank you Matt, I’ve tried to step up my photo game lately. Honestly I’m still using my crappy iphone but I’ve employed a nice halogen light that I follow my camera around with. It makes nice warm light as well as a great surface to fry eggs on. thank you Fred. I’m still eagerly awaiting the resurrection of your Winnie build.
