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

The linseed oil brings out the most color but pics are deceiving. I used wop and was happy as well. Im kinda partial to copper as it will age nicely and look authentic. I used both though, mostly by mistake. Either route you take the cherry will look great just like Rusty’s build.

Small progress update, I’ve been working through chapter 9, doing the final onboard planking and the caprails. I’ve have a few small issues with the caprails which all stem from my earlier planking and fairing in the beginning of the project but nothing serious. The worst is in the waist, I had to sand down the spirketting a little more than I wanted, to make it match the sheer, it won’t be too noticeable once the model is complete but I’ll know it’s there. Lesson learned. taking a week off from work and I plan to finish chapter 9 when I return. Thanks for stopping by! JJ
-
Very nice deck planking! Will look great after you sand it.
-
Ok I can see it now. The previous photo looked like the spirketting was way too inboard but it was because of the elevation and angle of the photo. Glad you’re on track! She looks good.

She’s looking good. One thing I see but can’t tell for sure, because of the angle, is your spirketting in the very front of the bow, it may be too far back from your fairing guide. I would jump ahead to chapter nine and print out the cap rails in the monograph and check to make sure everything is going to fit right. If not, then now is definitely the time to make corrections.

Ver nice work Steve, off to a good start! I usually just use a dry brush to dust it off then wipe it on and wipe it off. Never had a problem and always looks good.
