Hello everybody, I didn't have much progress for a while, In preparation for chapter 8 I just recently finished the mini-kit for the stove.

Here are some pictures, not very sharp, but it is somehow difficult to take good photos of black objects.20220415_184645.thumb.jpg.a913f5e404018f81da7777723396c591.jpg20220415_184623.thumb.jpg.30e09658255f265cfa67242c4bbb7252.jpg20220415_184654.thumb.jpg.527e83bf8bf0f45c9b2f773376d4d4ac.jpg20220415_184532.thumb.jpg.c17f7f5be087a0affe781d99f4175cd0.jpg20220415_184637.thumb.jpg.71a3e9a1806c361da3593d174c7fa6b4.jpg

I am not shure about the wheathering yet. Maybe I will try to wheather it a bit, maybe I leave it as it is.

Hi Chuck,

no progress since my last post, but I will continue soon!

I was asked to write a little article about the Winchelsea, and especially the great cabin for the magazin „Logbuch“ of  our Arbeitskreis Historischer Schiffbau. So I was busy doing that. I hope, that is some good promotion for you as well. I put your contact information in the article.

At the moment, I am finishing an old project, wich I startet 10 years ago. It is the HMS Unicorn, a frigate from the 1740’s. Scale 1:72, fully rigged. I had to finish some rigging, now I am working on the display case.

I want to make this as a waterline-model, because the ships hull is not as well built, as I wish it would have been, and I like the idea of a waterline-scenery.

After this is done, Winchelsea will be continued.

I needed a rest from modelling and painting water, so I continued with Chapter 8 and installed the forecastle fittings, deckbeams etc.

Nothing much to tell about, it was as always perfectly prepared by Chuck and no serious problems occured.

Next thing will be the front panel, I want to build it from boxwood like I did for the cabin front below the quarterdeck.

Today's update is all about the first steps of chapter 9

The caprail was added first. This is a nice step, it changes the overall impression of the model so much.

Continuing with the margin plank wich I joined before gluing it in position.

The planking of the outside bands on the forecastle and quarterdeck is to do next.

I reduced the size of the hooks at the top of the planks a bit, as I have seen on the frigate Jylland at Ebeltoft in Denkmark.

For this I made a new forecastle template.

And here we got with the result on the model.

The planking is not cleaned yet, that will be the next thing.

Hello everybody, 

today I want to show the latest progress.

First of all I finished the planking of the forecastle and quarter deck. I know, this does not actually belong into chapter 9, but I wanted to get this done and clean the model, before I add the deck fittings.

 

1.thumb.jpg.21f61ce297dd6179ad4447873715b26e.jpg

 

2.thumb.jpg.af7db651649045dfe1c6d980e984ec9c.jpg

 

3.thumb.jpg.17527b7de088c26f187f1dbd992ce50d.jpg

The first fitting wich will be added to the forecastle ist the belfry.

Some of you might remember me using the ivory for the captains cabin. Now most of this is hidden unterneath the quarterdeck planking. So I thought about using this material for some of the upper deck fittings as well.

Chuck provided a wonderful mini-kit for the belfry and I follow his way of building it, but replaced a few materials as you can see on the following photos.

Thanks Chuck!

I made two more belfrys. I think they came out better then the first one. 

One of them is a gift.

Guess what this is!!

It is a piece of mammut ivory. About 50 mm long. Remember, the last mammut died about 12000 years ago. 

I hope it will be enough for the breastrail columns.

Thank you.

I continued with some of the deck fittings.

There are quite a few contemporary models, showing excellent deck fittings, including wheels made from ivory. Of course I had to try my best and make one for my Winchelsea model.

20230111_224136.thumb.jpg.866e76811d4c26b9146d9b7d6905804b.jpg

20230111_223721.thumb.jpg.3c9835170f81f05bbb19eab0998339b6.jpg

 

First I cut the strips and made a jig, so I can sand them to a oktogon.

For the red painted parts of the wheel, I used Chucks wonderful mini-kit.

After that they were turned and the profiles were made with sanding sticks and files

Ivory is a fine material for turning. It can brake if you are not careful, but with some patience one can make nice profiles.

The final assembly. Not perfect, but the little incorrectnesses wont be visible later.

And here the arrangement on the model. It will be glued onto the deck later, I don't want it to be damaged.
