glbarlow Posted October 8, 2022 Share #1714 Posted October 8, 2022 Wow, what a journey and what a beautiful result. It serves as ongoing inspiration for those following in your wake. Not that I can achieve a result such as yours, but it will be fun to try to come close. I understand about the wood and price involved for the base, and I’ll appreciate the plans, especially for the three pieces holding her up. One nice final offering I hope you’ll consider is the carved crest/name plate we can all use with what ever base we end up with. I recall first looking in wonder at your build log several years ago, now it’s a amazing finished result that I’m also trying to build. I’m sure there is a museum shelf waiting for your Winchelsea. Like others all I can say is Well Done! hollowneck, Chuck, scrubbyj427 and 6 others 9 Regards, Glenn Current Build: HMS Winchelsea Completed Builds: HM Flirt (paused) HM Cutter Cheerful, Lady Nelson, Amati HMS Vanguard, HMS Pegasus, Fair American, HM Granado, HM Pickle, AVS, Pride of Baltimore, Bluenose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vladimir_Wairoa Posted October 9, 2022 Share #1726 Posted October 9, 2022 Congratulations Chuck. im just novice in this hobby but it was tremendous learning force for me. Enjoyed every minute of it and even more every look at finished piece. so complex and so beautiful. Thankfully this hobby is not momentous as music but rather like paining art. takes years to finish but achievement stays for centuries to impress, shine and give emotions.... cant wait to strip and redo last part with proper parts. scrubbyj427, Edwardkenway, Ryland Craze and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are welcome. I will be the first to admit that I take forever to design and produce these projects. I cant rush through them. So many kit mfgs seem to announce the availability of new kits every few months. That is something I can never do. This next project will be a bit of wait. Hopefully worth it. POF projects have triple the parts and more complexity. I prefer quality over quantity any day. I am also trying out some new design features to make it easier to build.

Your ability to come up with creative solutions at difficult and critical parts of the build is quite remarkable. I still have many months (years?) in front of me to reach the finish line.
