Stunning planking Job Glenn... I want to tear all mine off and replank the Wales down. Beautiful work and right on time with your planking schedule. if your looking to achieve some more yellow tone to the wood I found that WOP coats worked but between coats i lightly rubbed on some watco golden oak oil finish after a fine sand (800 grit) and then applied another coat of WOP until you achieve the finish you want. It will look just like the contemporary models do. After more than a year mine has a nice boxwood like finish to it, AYC is a wonderful wood. https://www.amazon.com/Watco-242210-Danish-Finish-Golden/dp/B000ONVI8Q

Thanks Guys, it’s good to finally cut and glue some wood again. I’ll be back at it in a couple weeks, I’ll finish chapter 7 and move right into guns again.. I’ll probably be lazy and tackle the 6 up front so I can begin chapter 8. I can handle 6 guns without losing my mind lol.

Beautiful work. I love the choices of wood you used in this build, it pulls your eye into every detail.

I snuck some time in to work on my Winnie the last few days, pulled a few late nights but I finally made some headway on chapter 7. I still Need to fine tune the aft deck beam and permanently set my lantern wiring before I can complete the transom. All the beams went together relatively easily, just lots of test fitting. I added some fluted columns to the transom frames, I’ve seen this before on some models and I’ve always liked it but I mainly did it to cover up my lantern wire run up the inner stbd frame and it worked out well. I stole Bens idea and used the laser etched mouldings that I had leftover for the tops and bottoms of the columns....still wish I did that on the outside... oh well. It was really fun to get back to work on Winnie again, I decided to build most of the stove for fun while I waited for beams to dry. Hopefully I can get some more completed in a couple weeks. JJ

Thanks Gabe. If you can get it to print the metal frame that would be awesome, I’d purchase a bunch from you Initially I tried to have shapeways print just the frame and they said it was too small so I just made it a solid. Can’t wait to see your progress. JJ

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.

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.

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.

Looking really good. The windows were definitely a struggle, lots of test fitting, sanding and broken ones until I got it right.
-
Your planking is looking great, really good job on the counter. I definitely had a difficult time at the stern as well.
