Thank you Rusty, I imagine by the next time i post an update you will have already completed your Winnie. Looking forward to it. Thank you Glenn. Much appreciated. so I didn’t reverse the configuration, prior to me laminating the channels, i had painted them black but what I failed to realize/ pay attention to is that the edges should have remained bright. I was slightly discouraged that I had let this slip through the cracks, it’s a minor detail that only us Winnie builders will notice but still I wish I had paid better attention. Thank you Steve, you are off to a great start on your Winnie, I look forward to seeing your Winnie come together. Thank you Jim, much appreciated. Thank you Fred! I hope that next time I check in, I will be seeing updates on your Winnie build. -
Very nice work Steve, you have taken care to do it right and this will pay off later.

Very Nice work Jim. Time for some strip wood!

Chapter 11 completed. This will be my last update for a few weeks as I’m packing up shop, crating the model and Winnie and I will be sailing back to Florida then we will be taking a road trip across country where I will finally complete chapter 12… and the remaining guns. Chapter 11 went pretty well, the channels and associated parts went together quite well and much easier than I expected. I messed up on the color configuration on the channels but I can live with it. The chainplates and deadeyes also went pretty smooth, I think I spent more time tumbling and finishing the deadeyes than I did installing them. Thanks for stopping by.

Well done Frank! Your planking looks perfect!

I find myself studying Endymion on the regular, probably one of the finest most complete contemporary models out there! That quarter gallery is so attractive, I would love to build this one. I’m surprised there are no drawings at all. Both of your friezes look fantastic! I’m slightly more drawn to the left but not by much.

Beautiful work Fred! Congratulations on your cheerful, she’s a wonderful achievement! Looking forward to your next build, whatever it may be. A fully rigged Winnie would be very cool to see.

Excellent tutorial Waldemar! Apologies for being late to the party. I will try this on my Portland model. I individually rotated my deadeyes one at a time, in 3 separate planes and simply eyeballed it. This is incredible! I’ve also never managed to create lines(pipe) like that before, sometimes I can by sweeping but that doesn’t always work out well. Great function of rhino you have discovered!
-
Wow. You must be version 7 because mine doesn’t look nearly as realistic in V5. Well done! I would Absolutely love to build this!
-
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!
