Seems a bit small (in the photo view). If your rudder were functional would you be able to swing it to it's proper angle Hi Greg. I've enjoyed working with the pear and happy with the way it is looking. As to the rudder opening you are correct about the openings size. I can get about 2/3 movement but I didn't want to cut away more of the frieze. So straight and steady for this Winnie! Can't get anything past those sharp eyes of yours.

dvm27 Posted April 27, 2021 Share #302 Posted April 27, 2021 Not so much sharp eyes as been there before. Cutting the rudder hole opening and filing it out to the correct size with all the angles involved is nerve wracking. I too took the "close enough" approach on my Swan class model.

Rustyj Posted May 5, 2021 Author Share #305 Posted May 5, 2021 (edited) I was able to find a little time to complete the rudder cover and the benches. The parts are laser cut from cherry by Syren. and are perfect. Now I have to clean up any dust so I can add the windows to the stern and Q galleries '.

I also cut the inboard stern window sills. Next up will be the gun port lids and hinges.

FrankWouts Posted June 2, 2021 Share #327 Posted June 2, 2021 (edited) Wow those colors, so warm and colorful... Maybe I’ll build a second one with your example, when this one’s finished in Alaskan Yellow Cedar. Plenty of Swiss pear lying around here, didn’t know it combines so nice with the cherry!

Rustyj Posted October 3, 2021 Author Share #328 Posted October 3, 2021 Hi All! Long time no see. Well life intruded on my modeling for the last few months but most has been squared away and no longer demanding so much of my time. So now the workshop is again open for business. The poor Winnie has been in dry dock all this time, covered and ignored. I've started out small by building the ladders for the two hatches. They are ones in Cherry purchased from Syren. Small progress but it's great to be back at it! Next up I'll be doing the gun port lids and hinges. dvm27, Nunnehi (Don), rafine and 11 others 14 Rusty "So Long For Now" Current Builds: Speedwell Completed Build Logs: HMS Winchelsea 1/48 Duchess of Kingston USF Confederacy , US Brig Syren , Triton Cross Section , Bomb Vessel Cross Section, Cutter Cheerful, Queen Anne Barge, Medway Longboat Completed Build Gallery: Brig Syren , 1870 Mississippi Riverboat , 1949 Chris-Craft 19' Runabout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
