Looks really sharp Chuck! Amazing work! I need to uncrate my Winnie and get back to work soon. Sorry about your abduction, can you order a new mini you? -
Looking good Matt. That’s a nice milestone to complete!
-
That looks really nice Fred! Your hinges worked well and they look good opened.. I had similar issues with mine and they just required some gentle persuasion. Your guns look wonderfully executed! I will definitely be referencing your log when I get to this point. JJ

HMS Granado 1742 Kit - CAF Model - 1:48 Scale
scrubbyj427 replied to cafmodel's topic in Wood ship model kits
Excellent work Tom! -
Have you used sketchup for hull design at all? I’ve never tried it. I do have a hull developing and hydrostatics plug in for rhino that really streamlines this process.
-
Matt, I actually elected to stay with my current owner, I’ll probably end up on another boat. Problem is I may not have the same size cushy workshop again. There may be plans to temporarily invade the kitchen table soon.

That looks great Ben! This stage is a nice reward after all that planking. JJ

Thanks Rusty.

Chuck, Where is the show this weekend?
-
That looks awesome Chuck! out of curiosity, even though the forward gunports are typically closed, would there have been guns up there or did the ports serve another use? Same with the aft most ones?

Thanks Rusty and Glenn. looking forward to some more updates on your Winnie, Rusty. Glenn, your cheerful is a delight on the eyes, can’t wait to see your Winnie get going. I finished up chapter 5 last week, took care of the rest of the gun ports and the small stuff which is a convenient stopping point as my mobile shipyard has sold to new owners so my tools and supplies are packed and my Winnie is crated up in a wonderful smelling custom pine box. Hopefully I’ll get back to her soon, but In the meantime I’m working on developing another project for the future, HMS Portland 1770, a 50 gun 4th rate at 1:48. I’m aiming for the Joseph marshal painting, similar to how the Winnie is built. I’m hoping to get the hull surfaced soon and the basic structure and framing built. JJ

Hopefully this is helpful.

Been plugging away at guns, hinges and metal work. Still a long way to go but it’s starting to shape up. Need to add more details to the carriages as well as tackle. I Also got the capstan sitting temporarily, may take a crack at the cherry one and see how it looks but I like the way the AYC one looks so far. JJ

There should definitely be a slight arch to the stern frames. Hope this pic is helpful. JJ

Beautiful work! -
That framing looks amazing, very sharp and accurate work! JJ
-
Looking forward to seeing some updates on Cumberland again soon.
-
Is this a rhino plug in for the figureheads? Or a separate software for carving?
-
Excellent design work Chuck! That really finishes it off. Looks spectacular!

Good lord this thing is a stunning piece of work! I want to build it but I don’t think I could come remotely close to these results! -
Not sure what problem this individual has with your work but he’s wrong. I’ve been following this build closely in hopes of someday building the same ship, if I can build it anywhere near the quality of yours I’d be happy. JJ

Thank you Don! I’m enjoying this group project very much. Everyone is doing a great job.

Thank you Fred and Chuck and the likes. the cheeks and hair brackets certainly are not easy but they are indeed worth the effort. If I were to do it again I think I would change a few things as the learning curve was pretty big on that one. Fred, I knew you would spot those bolts!... don’t worry, I’m on it. I’ve got days of little messes to clean up before I move onto chapter 7. JJ

Looking really good Don. You’re moving right along, paving the way for the rest of us. JJ
