  1. And that concludes chapter 8, opening chapter 9 as I write this, forward progress will begin tomorrow. I did the same for 8 as chapter 7 with the deck beams and all the knees. Had to finagle the stove in so I could block sand all the beams down fair and make a gigantic mess but it all worked out. One more gun to rig for this chapter and then I’ll finish remaining four after chapter 9. And no more lights! Thanks for stopping by. JJ
  2. Just excellent work Siggi. What a wonderful build you have going! Looks awesome.
  3. Looking good. Those planks are definitely a challenge that’s worth it. Great results!
  4. Thanks Gabe. I finally got them all installed and that design worked perfectly.
  5. Nicely done Matt! You’re moving along now. That whole pump assembly is quite a challenge with many moving parts… no pun intended. So many things need to line up for it to work. Looks good. You’re almost on chapter 8!
  6. Congratulations Jim, she looks great. The figures add a whole new layer to the model and the copper looks really good. The crew really gives perspective to the size of Winnie. Looking forward to seeing how you display her. JJ
  7. Very well done! The Q gallery’s look just perfect, along with the moulding profile! Impressive work.
  8. You definitely have gotten the hang of it. Looks very good Frank. Keep at it!
  9. You could also take sections through your butt lines and then offset each one to the thickness you want the frame (in profile view) and then proceed to build the new frames around those lines as a reference. Also as @Richard Dunn mentioned, offsetting by the outer surface of the frames and creating a solid from that would be beneficial. The issue is that the inner hull and outer hull are shaped differently. Have you tried to just offset your hull surface by itself and see how that results? For my model I just used offsets from the hull surface at the thickness I wanted for the frames and extruded solids so the tops of the frames are as fair as the outside. These were always taken from the higher side of the hull, for example, in the bow I would take the section from the fwd facing side and extrude aft and the opposite in the stern. This allows for proper sanding. In rhino you would do the same but run you spline that you would use to create planks, from the highest side of the frame to the next highest one, slicing right through the part that would be sanded… if that makes any sense.
  10. Very nice work Ron, it’s coming along very well!
  11. Beautiful job Glenn! Well done! And that angle cutter… wow! I need that for sure.
  12. Beautiful work Fred! Those guns look great! I hope it’s motivating you to do the same to your Winnie.
  13. I have to check my model when I get home but it does look a little high but your capstan looks built correctly. Is the lower part sitting all the way down into its position on the gun deck?
  14. Congratulations Stuglo! Well done. She looks great! Been great following along.
  15. Thank you James. Yes indeed the cannons are fun, especially if you decide to rig them, I’m trying a new method of building them one at a time now as I need them. I’ll get there eventually.
  16. Just incredible work! Almost spilled my coffee.
  17. Welcome aboard Jim! Looking forward to seeing your Winnie progress. JJ
