It would seem that they are the experts over there, with all the new designs and innovation freely flowing to the market.

Great looking drawings Chris!
-
That would be some advanced lighting effects. I think after a bit of grog they may start to spiral on their own! Lol

I’ve been wondering where you went, Fred. I’ve patiently been watching for an update on your winnie. Glad to see you building again, your cheerful is looking great.
-
Looks great Glenn, very clean and precise. Spend as much time as necessary on the frames and windows, just like your planking, it will pay off.

Thank you Greg. So I did install lamps in the companionways to illuminate the steps, once I started the subdecks and other coamings I quickly realized my error and had one of those face to palm moments, I didn’t want to start ripping up wood at that point. The next time around I won’t miss that opportunity!
-
Thank you Glenn, I’ve always liked the idea of lighting a ship from the inside but I’ve never liked seeing wires or lights that obviously shouldn’t be there. Hopefully this will pay off in the end, if not I just won’t turn them on ever!
-
Thank you Bob. Your Winnie is looking very nice, we are all watching as you near completion.
-
She looks wonderful Bob! Looking forward to the finishing touches.

Watching you build ships makes us all happy too! Amazing work! -
That looks like a great idea for lining up the frames. What did you use to ensure the keel is perpendicular to the board?

So here’s a few shots in very dim light. I need to start using a real camera, this iPhone just doesn’t capture what it really looks like, they are much warmer and not nearly as bright as the camera shows. Very happy with the LED’s that I went with, this will display very well and lifelike when complete.

Been slowly plugging away at chapter 7. I’ve got my first set of lamps in, now I can begin working my way forward to complete chapter 7. I’ve been building some fittings, including the pumps and the stove and I started on the forward guns in anticipation of chapter 8. I’ve also got the first bulkhead installed and after I complete a few more sets of lamps I can move on to the next bulkhead. Lots of care has been taken to make the electrical element as discrete as possible, I have been thinking of how to accomplish this for months and I decided on a simple system of carving a small channel into the underside of the beam and gently running the wire with some pva to secure it. The natural beams will be the hardest, as soon as I hit the red ones I can begin to fill the channel and smooth it out and simply paint it again. Big thank you to Gabe @Gabek for his assistance with the lamp printing, the resin printer captured the 3D model wonderfully. These are very small pieces and require some assembly work as well as an opaque glazing. I’m happy with the results. JJ

Will hobbymill mill the wood to your desired thickness? I would inquire to see if they also offer a lumber package for the Winchelsea. I believe the owner of hobbymill.eu is also a MSW member.
-
You can rip as you go or buy the completed wood package . I just cut my wood as I needed it. Chuck outlines pretty clearly what thickness you will need, If you’re cutting your own. http://www.modelerssawmill.com/wood-packages.php

Joe, im Not sure what kind of glue you are using but I found the mistakes I made early on were easy to correct by using some denatured alcohol to soften the PVA and move/adjust pieces, in fact I think I even encountered a similar problem on my framing as you are experiencing, I just softened the glue and made adjustments. Rebuild your transom frames and glue back into the slots, set your angles with a jig and let set. This is a recoverable problem.
