Brilliant idea on those angled wedge pieces for the frames!

Welcome to MSW from yet another fellow Oregonian! From what part of the state are you?

Take care and get well soon Bob, your Winnie will be there waiting for you.

Mike, your Agamemnon look just fantastic! Well done! I’ll have to go over and throughly go through your log As far as the false keel on your Winnie, if I remember right I only had one piece as well. I’m pretty sure I just Milled them according to the drawings.I think I even just ran the waste trees from the parts through my saw for the wood, it already had the char on it so it worked out well. Looks like you’re off to a good start. JJ

Beautiful work Chuck!
-
Great to see you back Frank! Your Winnie looks right on!
-
Perhaps you could start with a much wider plank, ( I assume the plank you need is the one traced out in pen?) get it shaped and fit, then sand to the appropriate width/shape? Or you could laminate two or three thin planks and take care to finish them so there are no seams visible. Good luck whichever route you take, the model is looking excellent.

Thank you, I’m going to have to try this, I’ve always liked this aged look.
-
Just outstanding work! I love the blackening/wearing process you use. How do you achieve those results so well? JJ
-
Incredible work Oliver. What CAD software are you using?
-
Beautiful! I’m glad that you found the batten trick and used it to achieve the proper curvature of the lower moldings between the ports, it makes easy work out of it.. She’s looking great!

starlight, Don’t be too intimidated by the larger ships it’s completely realistic to complete one as your first., especially with the resources on MSW. I tackled Mantuas San Felipe as my very first wood ship model, that was 20 years ago and I still display it proudly, even though it’s riddled with errors and I’ve since improved over time, but the model kept me interested and motivated to keep going. But it does boil down to what one is comfortable with and are they willing to commit to a project of that size.

Hi Steve and welcome to MSW! You’re about to dig into a can of worms with this one, you may want to post this topic over here: https://modelshipworld.com/forum/24-wood-ship-model-kits/ or just search it out as it’s been covered extensively. I personally haven’t built victory but there are many fine examples here. If I were ever going to build a victory kit I’d look at the Caldercraft one, but the new Amati release looks to be promising as well in 1:64.

Chris, I’m curious to know who you are having produce your figures and sculptures? Or did you take the time to learn zbrush and pull all your hair out doing so?
-
Amazing. I love how this looks like it was built 250 years ago. Brilliant!
