It’s looks good then Ron, keep building. I lost count of all the mistakes I’ve made on my Winnie along the way, maybe I’ll forget most of them someday. -
Ron, did you confirm that your bulkheads are right on scale? A lot of people have had issues with drawings being printed slightly out of scale. But I agree with Chuck, just plank a bit wider, it won’t be seen up on that part anyway.

Thanks for the comments and likes guys, I appreciate it. I hope to make a little progress this weekend. JJ

Alright I have a small update finally! Lol got all my super small almost impossible To work with, LED’s installed and wired, I’m going to run a micro plug through the bottom of the keel that will meet the other end on the stand, powering all the lights with a 9vdc source. It will be impossible to see unless you turn her over. i finally thought of a way to make a scale lantern out of a kids juice box straw, a bunch of reject Boxwood columns And some copper foil. This is the first of many so I shoved it down in the hold In hopes of the rest turning out much better. Once the electrical connection is finished through the keel and the hold lights are complete I will resume progress on chapter 4!! JJ

This is looking very exciting! I’m definitely going to build this as soon as you release it. Was actually looking at drawings of Cumberland the other day, just before you posted this!
-
That counter looks really good Fred! Glad to see you back in action. Catching up to me and you’ve already built another one!
-
She’s looking good Fred. I think your sheet is good, as long as it’s angled up in the bow. JJ

Definitely buy the entire laser cut package and save yourself the trouble. Alaskan yellow cedar is a wonderful wood that sands like a dream, holds a wonderful sharp edge and looks very uniform with very little grain showing.
-
It’s not too late to lower it. Your second one aft looks good. Just add a little filler piece on the top and slightly lower the bottom frame. Will take some minor surgery but it’s possible. looking good otherwise. JJ

Looking forward to this release Jack! Looks great!
-
Well this looks intriguing! When should we expect to see this become available? very nice work Jack! JJ
-
Looks fantastic Chuck! Truly a work of art! When do you estimate you will have chapter 5 complete and available?

I think most all of the builders in this group have traced it on to a sheet and carefully cut it out. I bent a strip about halfway then joined it with a curve that was cut from a sheet of cedar and it worked well.
-
I enjoy helping you avoid all the mistakes I made on my build! It’s like a second shot for me without all the sanding! i think the battens I got were spruce from Home Depot, the ended up being very well behaved and I nailed them below the lowest wale line and used them to actually place the first strake and pulled them off later. It helped with the curve but was a little messy removing them. JJ

3d printing crew figures
scrubbyj427 replied to highlanderburial's topic in 3D-Printing and Laser-Cutting.
Hey Guys, I’m about to purchase a 3D printer I think and it seems like resin is the way to go for detail. Seems like the anycubic photon is a hot item. Can any of you experienced modelers give any advice? Also curious about sculpting software, I’m currently running rhino and considering stepping up to version 7, is there any good plug ins for producing good carvings? Thanks for any input. JJ -
That looks like a nice run, just make sure it’s perfectly even on both sides, I ended up with about a 1/32-1/64 difference in the waist which isn’t too noticeable and didn’t really affect anything but still annoying. Also it’s easier to fair up that batten if you keep the nails at a necessary minimum. Go super slow with that first plank as it will define the rest of them. You can fudge the Wales a bit of you need to though, I did. It’s in my log. JJ
-
So now you have a small teaser of what your planking will look like! Should be motivation enough. i just bought some spruce strips at the hardware store and ripped them through my saw to make a few battens.
-
Throw the WOP on.... you’ll be staring at it for quite awhile while you are planking, it may as well look good!😁
-
Looking good Ron. The gunports look to all be in a nice line with the sheer, bollards look good as well. Don’t sweat them too much as you’re going to bury all that pretty work in black paint!!!. JJ
-
That looks very nice! What excellent motivation!

Glad to hear you purchased the boxwood carvings, you will not be disappointed... you may even end up owning a cnc machine you’ll be so impressed. Looking forward to seeing your progress! JJ
-
This looks to be an exciting chapter! Well done Chuck. Will be ordering as soon as it’s available. JJ
