Well done Matthias! That just looks so good with the gratings complete. Very nice execution.

Lovely work Matthias 👍

[Beckmann]

Hello everybody and thank you for the kind words and the likes.

At the moment I am working on finishing the last parts of equipment. Guns, swivel-guns and the stern lantern.

The model is a bit dusty, but here are some photos.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The stern lantern will be the last step. I will make it from ivory again.

Wonderful…one of the best winnie models for sure.

[dvm27]

Lovely model! You've got Chuck beaming like a proud Papa.

[glbarlow]

So well done, congratulations for a superb model!

[Stuntflyer]

Congratulations on a beautifully done Winnie!

[jfhealey]

Superb. What next?

[Beckmann]

Thank you all for the kind words and the likes. What's next? Well, the stern lantern and display case of course. And then I circle around a special project of a danish ship. Designed by a french shipbuilder in 1742 and decorated by a german master-carver. It is a bit early to show something here. A contemporary model survived in Copenhagen and a few quite detailed plans.

Hi Don, I will make a display-case similar to the one I made for my HMS-Unicorn model.

I have got same pear-wood for this wich I plan to use.

Here you can see the case I made and the drawing for the new one.

 

 

 

 

I will post pictures, when I build it.

Wow! That’s gorgeous!

I really like the idea of multiple models in one case and beautiful work on your previous display. Looking forward to seeing more.

[Beckmann]

Thank you!

This weekend I made the stern lantern, as I said from ivory agein, like some of the other features.

I did not use laser cut, like I did for the galery-windows, but cut the parts with a jigsaw. I must say, this is better than laser cut, because the heat of the laser somehow affects the material and makes it a bit yellow and more fragile.

 

After cutting out all the parts I made the bottom and the roof, wich are assemblied from several parts.

 

 

The windows needed a careful sanding, to not look too crooked.

 

 

Then I glued the parts together...

 

 

 

...added the candle and the glazing...

 

 

and here we go, everything finished for being mounted on the model.

 

 

 

 

I will add the lantern to the model, once the display case is completed. Otherwise I will break it of for shure, while carrying the model around.

Hi Everybody,

still no progress with my display case, but I mounted the stern lantern on the model.

Very nicely done! Displayed very well, looking forward to seeing the complete display.

[Rustyj]

That is one beautiful Winnie! You've done a wonderful job, and I enjoyed watching along.

[Beckmann]

 

Thank you all for the comments and likes.

 

at the moment I am working on the dispay case.

As I showed above, I want to make a case for three models. My Queen Anne-barge 1"/2' scale and my bone model of the azorean whaleboat wich I showed in my other build log on MSW, also 1"/2' scale. They will be together in the "ground floor" and above them the Winchelsea. Last year I cut a pear tree and so I have some nice pearwood for the case.

 

 

 

by now it is dry enough and I started on the table of the case.

 

I started with the legs for the table, dimension 40/40/400 mm

 

Then the table was put together...

some parts to stiffen the construction in the corners...

Some strips to cover up the top...

 

Here ist one of the models for the ground floor, the mirror-basement will come into the display case as well.

Those are two wonderful and beautiful models in amazing and beautiful cabinets Matthias!

Beautiful craftmanship Matthis! Respect!

Frank.

[Beckmann]

Thanks Frank

[Rustyj]

That is some wonderful workmanship on both your model and display case!

[Beckmann]

Hi Everybody,

my display case is still not finished, but I managed to make some progress with the stand. I saw, that many displays have the model parallel to the keel, my model will be sitting parallel to the waterline. There will be two collumns, one at the bow, one at the stern wich have a different length to get the balance.

Here are some pictures:

These are beautiful, so well crafted. I bet a bunch of Winnie builders would happily buy a set. I have no clue how I’ll mount mine and certainly don’t have the skill to make anything like this. Well done!
