Trussben Posted May 13, 2018 Author #64 Posted May 13, 2018 Thanks for the Likes. So the fancy panels went on really well and the friezes that Chuck supplies fitted inside them perfectly. Also I scraped the trim pieces with a home made simple profile. Now for the carvings. ben Chuck, alde, JpR62 and 14 others 17 Quote Current builds: HMS Pegasus TFFM. HMS Winchelsea.

Trussben Posted October 28, 2018 Author #72 Posted October 28, 2018 Hi Thanks for the likes and comments. I made 5 of the sweeps and displaying them on the little stands that Chuck supplied. Here is the QA Barge completed and in her display case. This has been a really fun and fulfilling little build with enough complexity to keep me interested to the end. Chuck you are to be congratulated on a great kit that will be enjoyed by many people and I may have to have a go at your new longboat when it’s ready.

BobG Posted January 13, 2020 #75 Posted January 13, 2020 Fantastic model...beautiful! I noticed that you have built the Medway Longboat also. How would you compare the building process of the Longboat to the Barge? I'm building the Longboat currently and I really like the Yellow Cedar. How was working with cherry by comparison?
