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.- 840 replies

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.

Jim, sorry I should have mentioned that the ports follow the deck, if you use the square dowel for the upper sills, it should keep them parallel to the lowers but it will do you no good to use it on the vertical sills. Thanks @glbarlow for correcting me.
-
Looks really good. Nice and fair. This will pay off when you plank and reveal your gunports. The laser cut pieces Chuck gives you should ensure you get perfect port openings. Just to be extra careful definitely use the square dowel between both sides to make sure upper sills are parallel.

Concluded chapter 10, no issues, smooth sailing. The wheel may have been the trickiest part as it’s so small and fragile. Back into full swing of gun production now as I wait for chapters 11&12 to arrive. Hope to have the waist filled in this week and start slowly adding the 6 pounders as I progress on chapter 11. Thanks for checking in. JJ

That looks just wonderful! Lovely work!
-
Well done Glenn, all the hard work with the frames and sills has paid off. Your windows line up on a gentle curve and look perfect!

Ron, I’m not entirely sure on the difference but I think isopropyl is used in small quantities to “denature” pure ethanol. all I know is that it doesn’t take hours to soften titebond. Hope it helps. JJ
-
Beautiful work Ron! Great idea on those cleats! That looks so good all assembled. For softening PVA, I seem to get it free very quickly with denatured alcohol, usually in minutes. JJ
-
Thank you Jim. Excited to see you start laying planks down.
-
That looks very nice Edward! Great job!
-
Nice work Matt, I actually think you weathered it just right, it looks realistic. I couldn’t get mine to stick well enough otherwise I would have loved more rust.
-
Those look really sharp Chuck, is that set a 3D printed prototype?
