    Joe, if I remember right the transom uprights are actually not as intimidating as they look. If you follow the plans and measure twice and cut once you should line up pretty well on the two outer frames, also the filler pieces in between for the windows are a significant help. Your fore and aft frames will give you your transom frame angles, this is found in the framing plan. if the frames are placed correctly they form the required curve pretty well, once the fillers are in place then the angle can be established by the framing that attaches to the bulkheads. I spent a lot of time on mine and was quite happy with the results, however I did find a small error but it did not affect my model very much in the end. Looking forward to your updates.

    Those look outstanding Chuck! I’ve been really focusing on this part lately and how to design it, pouring over contemporary examples and drawings, those look spot on with everything I’ve seen. Simply excellent results there. Not even close to resembling a kit.

    She’s coming together nicely Dave. Your planking looks really good. Definitely worth the headaches! JJ

    Thanks Chuck. I’ve seen so many variations of lamps that this one is somewhat of a mix of them all .

    Beautiful modeling! Will be following with much interest!

    I've designed a quick lamp model if anyone is interested. its close to 1:48 but can be scaled in any direction. My thought was to print it clear and paint the metal details on, drill a small hole and inset a micro LED. If anyone prints one id like to see how they turn out, I've yet to purchase a printer. lamp.stl

    Incredible work!

    Your Winnie looks great Don, the dull coat looks nice and subtle. Looks like you’re almost Finished.

    Hope to see some progress soon Bob. Take care of yourself.

    Definitely doesn’t work with safari....

    Work of art! Will be almost impossible to distinguish this as a kit next to a scratch built model.

    Just beautiful work! Amazing!

    Those look great Mike, what a great tool for that job, eliminates all the guess work and tricky eyeballing. Where did you get that? I may have to invest in one.
  14. scrubbyj427
    That’s a great idea Chuck, I was studying a contemporary model last night and wondering how you planned to do this. That makes perfect sense.
  15. scrubbyj427
    Looking really good. The windows were definitely a struggle, lots of test fitting, sanding and broken ones until I got it right.
  16. scrubbyj427
    Your planking is looking great, really good job on the counter. I definitely had a difficult time at the stern as well.

    Withdrawal pains! Welcome to the club! planking looks spot on! Well done!
  18. scrubbyj427
    Very Impressive. Well done Chuck. I Can’t wait to tackle this part.
  19. scrubbyj427
    That looks really good Mike, excellent work.

    Come July and the completion of your long planking journey, you’ll never once look back and say to yourself “I wish I used that good enough plank a few times and finished sooner”....
  21. scrubbyj427
    Once you complete planking things really start moving quick, especially if you are still working on planking mode!
  22. scrubbyj427
    Wow that looks very promising. I think I’ve seen this before somewhere. May have to take a crack at it.
  23. scrubbyj427
    I’ve been chewing my nails in anticipation for the last four hours, Chuck... what’s the secret?
  24. scrubbyj427
    I think you could go any direction with this. You would really have to start adding tons of crap to spoil this model. I think Amazon looks great and not too busy. But I wouldn’t go past that point. Maybe settle somewhere between Amazon and Winnie contemporary.

    Remarkable work Chuck! What an incredible project the Winnie has become!
