GrandpaPhil Posted August 8, 2019 #1 Posted August 8, 2019 I’m going to build the HMS Winchelsea. I will build from scratch. Most of my build will be plywood and basswood with cedar carvings. I am backed up a couple of builds, but I will be participating. I can’t pass this one up. The Winchelsea makes for an impressive model.

GrandpaPhil Posted August 9, 2019 Author #5 Posted August 9, 2019 Quick question, is there any record on the masting/rigging for Winchelsea? Would it be the same as for Triton?

Chuck Posted August 9, 2019 #6 Posted August 9, 2019 It would be very similar yes. When time permits I will put something together. But that is at least a year away. The model is too big to rig in my opinion though. It would be about 5 feet long and just as high.

AnobiumPunctatum Posted August 9, 2019 #7 Posted August 9, 2019 (edited) Yes it is big, but fully rigged a really nice model in that scale.

GrandpaPhil Posted August 9, 2019 Author #8 Posted August 9, 2019 The Prince de Neufchatel is done which puts me one model closer to beginning the Winchelsea.

GrandpaPhil Posted August 14, 2019 Author #9 Posted August 14, 2019 I was thinking about building the Winchelsea on my way to work this morning. I think that I’m going to pick up a 4’ by 8’ sheet of 1/4” birch ply from the hardware store and cut the bulkheads/center panel for both the Triton and the Winchelsea at the same time. Most of the internal structures for both the Triton and Winchelsea will be plywood and most of the external woodwork will probably be basswood, because I paint everything anyway. It won’t do me any good to use the better wood. I have some chunks of cedar that I would like to use for the figurehead of the Victory, more decorative carvings, the carvings on the Triton and then I’ll carry over the rest to Winchelsea (I have a lot of cedar).

GrandpaPhil Posted October 16, 2019 Author #12 Posted October 16, 2019 (edited) I haven’t forgotten about Winchelsea. I’m still working on Victory and in the process of building the head.

GrandpaPhil Posted November 18, 2019 Author #13 Posted November 18, 2019 (edited) I finished the figurehead on Victory and am about two-thirds done with the beakhead and the head. I’m one step closer to starting Triton, which means that I’m one step closer to starting Winchelsea. I’m getting plenty of experience, so I’ll be much better off when I get to Winchelsea.

GrandpaPhil Posted January 4, 2020 Author #14 Posted January 4, 2020 (edited) I haven’t forgotten about Winchelsea. I am making good progress on Victory. I am trying to finish her by the summer. I still have a couple models to build before I can start Winchelsea, but I very much look forward to building her.

GrandpaPhil Posted October 20, 2020 Author #15 Posted October 20, 2020 Winchelsea is still pending. I am looking forward to building her. I am still a couple of models behind at the moment.

GrandpaPhil Posted February 12, 2021 Author #16 Posted February 12, 2021 (edited) Ditto. Still planning to build the Winchelsea. Still backed up a couple of models. Winchelsea will be a fun build.

GrandpaPhil Posted June 17, 2022 Author #17 Posted June 17, 2022 (edited) I really like fully rigged models, with sails. I bought a Shipyard Models HMS Mercury, a British 28-Gun Frigate from 1779. It should be rigged very closely to the Winchelsea (and the Triton). I am going to use the rigging and sail plans for the Mercury, adjust for size based off the mast proportions in zu Monfeld, to generate the masting, rigging, sail and belaying plan for Winchelsea, once I print the plans (I haven’t made it that far yet). This will be fun!
