Hi Siggi, the draft for Portland class (Bristol dated 1775), 50 guns shows this open space in front of the galley which I think you are describing.
-
Incredible! Love seeing this version of victory! Beautiful work!
-
The little bit of boxwood that I have worked with has turned out lovely with a good sanding and just WOP. I’m very tempted to do my next build in boxwood.
-
Thanks Glenn. I’m kinda stuck at this point because it also matches the gun deck so I guess I may be buying a lot of billets to get it right!😬
-
Thank you Chuck. the thought crossed my mind. I told Joe to send the lightest stuff possible and I sent photos of my 5/16” stock (from syren) with a white background to give perspective. Fingers crossed, the margins and three planks took oh around 8 hours. If the wood is too light I can darken it but if it’s already too dark then I’m ripping planks off!

Small update… There’s always more guns to build! So I realized my lumber stash is lacking significantly so I wrote Joe at modelers sawmill and ordered some sheets of AYC so I can cut those curved margin planks and the forward curved planks for the bow, in the meantime I thought I would start on the aft deck and I got this far before I realized I was also out of 1/4” planking billets! Sent Joe another email and ordered plenty of those… at least there are always more guns to build to keep me busy while my AYC finds its way here. JJ

Great start to your planking adventure! Boxwood will look great.
-
Wow! Amazing results! That looks perfect. Well done Chuck. It appears that you are fairing frames as you go?
-
Looks very nice Gary! looking forward to seeing how you finish it off.
-
I would build it any way you release it. But I would want the main gun deck built completely without dummy barrels or anything hidden. Are there any photos of prototype models being built?
-
Definitely the right move. Winchelsea is not a model you want to mess around with, chasing errors made early on later in the build will haunt you.
-
Nicely done Edward! Perhaps you should have been a surgeon!
-
Incredible modeling! I would love to build this.
-
I think I will build her at some point, but like a lot of us, my ambitions far exceed my time!!

Wonderful work Fred! Seeing your model makes me want to build a cheerful of my own!
-
Looks great Edward! Well done! Let’s see some WOP on those planks!
-
Great work Frank! You’ve definitely got the plank endings at the counter down!
-
Beautiful work Mike. Congratulations on a job well done, it’s been a pleasure following and learning from your build as well as a great motivation!

Be careful!! I removed one during my build and I took it up from the middle first by cutting the center part out first and then used alcohol to release the seam/joint inwards to not do any damage to the surrounding planks. Good luck and go slow, your deck looks great otherwise!
-
Hi Tom, any updates to La Renommee?
-
Just found this log, very much Looking forward to this build and how you modify it to thunderer. JJ
-
Thank you guys! Appreciate all the comments. I’ll be back in a little over a week and hopefully have some more updates on chapter 9 and the upper deck planking. JJ
