Hi Roger, I have a brand new extra extended fence. PM me if you are interested. JJ -
This is outstanding work! I remember seeing the beginnings of this ship around 2008 at the Batavia wharf, I was sad to hear that she will not be completed. Where did the plans come from? JJ
-
Hi Frank and welcome to the build! It’s a fantastic project that will definitely elevate your shipbuilding skills. You should be able to order the cnc boxwood carvings from msw member Jack @hjx. I used them on my Winnie and they look fabulous, like a master carved them by hand! There’s also the resin ones through Syren which a lot of the guys are using and they are also extremely convincing if colored correctly. good luck with your Winnie and start posting right away! JJ

Can anyone here who has a Byrnes saw give me a pointer on what’s happening here? I can’t see what’s going on but my rip fence seems to be off about 1degree. Hopefully it shows in these photos. Thanks for any advice, JJ edit: problem solved, everyone please be careful when setting up their rip fences!!! Mistakes can be made!

Looks good Ron, just check and double check those stern frame angles, as chuck said they are super important when it comes time for the q galleries. Mine were just a smidge off and I could see the error, luckily it didn’t set me back much but it’s there. Your counter planking and hull planking intersections should go smooth.
-
If I ever build another Winnie I’d probably do it exactly the way you did. Glue up your lower counter planking now and test run some planks and see how it looks at that intersection. The only thing I see is that the top of your filler blocks don’t quite meet the lower edge of the frames, where the lower counter planks will land But it Should work and looks good to me so far. JJ

Looks good Rusty, glad you took the plunge first so we can all follow now. Lol JJ

Looking good Matt. Feels good to get to that point, it’s like a gigantic pay off for chapter two! JJ

Hi Ron, thank you, I’m sold on the leds now and will be ordering about 20 or so this week. Also going to get started on the lanterns, I’ll keep everyone updated on that mini project. they are rated 5-12vdc And are very affordable. Wires are nearly microscopic, so very easy to hide away... I do plan to illuminate the stern Lantern now that I can do it without showing any wires.
-
Thanks Matt, I’ve always wanted to light one of these models. I’m going to keep it subtle. FYI, the pictures are really accurately representing how it actually looks Incase anyone was wondering. I used Evans designs, the smallest one available in yellow believe it or not.

Hi dvm, thanks, I’m going to 3-D print period correct lamps for these lights and keep it as close to the real thing as possible. I saw some good examples online and from master and commander...😁 i did buy the scrapper right off his site, you have to dig for it but it’s there. This link should take you right to it: https://cafmodel.com/products/scraper-52

Merry Christmas to my fellow Winchelsea builders and everyone on MSW! been toying around with interior lighting and I think I found something I like. These LEDs are literally half a mm if that and have a nice warm glow to them similar to candlelight. What do you think?
-
Looking good Don! I’m jealous of all that room! JJ

Not going to lie Ron, I bought the CAF scraper as well as the AL set. Between the four different scrappers I managed to cover all the profiles required for Winnie, some required some minor modifications. Even then I had a lot of wasted pieces until I figured it out and started making moulding that looked acceptable. I Do recommend them all though. Tom at CAF sent the scrapper out very quick and it actually didn’t take long to get here as I thought it would. JJ

Looks great Tom! Looking forward to the next release!

Let’s do Minerva next Chuck. I’ve seen that model a couple times too, in fact I’ve seen the whole collection many times and it’s amazing how many details I did not pay attention to until I started building Winnie.

Hey Guys, both ships are coming along nice. If you’re going for the Darker look I’d follow rustys log, he used cherry and Caldercraft red orche, which I used as well. That will definitely give you the dark red color you’re searching for. JJ http://www.jotika-ltd.com/Pages/1024768/Fittings/AP9116.htm
