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

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

Looks great Frank!

Thank you for the kind words Frank. Made some progress up front, got cheeks and hair brackets completed. This was quite a project and involved many hours of sanding and test fitting. I’m still not happy with the hair bracket joints and may redo them... I’ll sleep on it a little longer. one thing I found to make it a little easier with the frizzies was to glue them on prior to laminating the upper and lower cheeks, the same applies to the hair brackets. Once dry I gently sanded the excess off and then assembled them, this made the seams appear clean and sharp. I still have some clean up work to do as well as finish the stbd side anchor line holes and a little paint touch up. On to guns and tackle next... probably post that update in about 6 months. also made some poor attempts at better photography with the plans as a background white... lol... lots of room for improvement but I clearly see the benefits now!

Nice work Chris! Are you doing your own 3-d carving or contracting it? JJ

Your Winnie is looking really nice Fred! The choice of coloring for the paneling and wood tones look great! JJ
