HMS Winchelsea by Beckmann 1/48

[Beckmann]

Hello everybody,

I started chapter 4 now, and made 2 of those fantastic gun's at the beginning. I think the red carriage suits better, but the natural carriage is beautiful as well.

 

 

 

Next I planked the lower deck platforms and glued the deck beams an deck sheats in position. All turned out well, no problems so far.

 

 

 

 

 

This broadside will look wonderful, once completed!!

I can't say it any better than that!

[Beckmann]

I made the inboard planking of the bulwarks, and of course forgot to insert the little shells in the second layer, I inserted them in the first layer. So I have do drill the holes in the right place and somehow create the notch between them.

 

 

 

After painting everything, I will continue with the paneled captains cabin.

[AnobiumPunctatum]

Your model is looking really beautyful.

[Stuntflyer]

Matthias,

 

Your model is looking really nice! Just a reminder to end the plank here. Same idea for the one at the QD.

[Beckmann]

Thank you Mike, I corrected that.

The next thing for me to do is the panels and flooring of the captains cabin. I wanted to use my ivory for the panels and started with the starbord panel.

I made a base from a thin veneer and cut out door and gunport in the right position. Then I glued small strips of veneer onto it, for the placement of frames and panels. The ivory parts were cut and profiled on the saw and afterward sanded an glued on the base. Here you see the result.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My material will be enough for the captains cabin, but not for the rooms infront of the cabin. I plan to make that with wooden panels like this one here:

 

 

One thing I still have to add, before gluing the starbord panel in position is the door to the Quartergalerie. I am thinking of a sliding door like this one:

 

 

After that, I will make the checkerbord flooring, using the material of the panels and some ebony. I started the preparation on this one:

 

 

 

Here you see the strips glued together and sandet roughly, next they will be cut apart and glued on a veneer-basebord as well and then sanded and polished.

wow your panels look fabulous Mathias. I will try to mimic same idea though.V.  

[Beckmann]

I glued the panel to the model now and added the sliding door. Next will bet the port side panel.

Hello everybody, I made the checker floor for the captains cabin.

 

I wanted it like on the pictures on the captains cabins:

 

First thing was to provide the stripes and cut them without breaking them.

 

 

Next step was to stick them upside down on a tape.

 

 

after that was done, a veneer template, wich had the size of the later flooring was glued to it upside down.

 

Afterwards the edges were cut and sanded in shape and the surface was polished.

 

 

Her you see the flooring on the model:

[jfhealey]

That is looking superb Matthias. Really well done.

Fred

[Chuck]

Nicely done.

[Rustyj]

That looks really good Matthias!

[scrubbyj427]

I wasn’t going to paint my panels white but that really pushed me in the other direction after seeing yours. Wow!

Hello Everybody,

I finished the captains cabin rear gallery with the installation of the rudder trunk and the benches. For the small panels between the windows, I made small ebony decoration strips as framing.

First picture is the rudder trunk befor installation:

 

Here you can see the Captain Sir C. Passaro is giving order for the next work to do

 

 

The paneled front of the bench were glued against a curved template, to follow the curved edge of the flooring.

 

And the finished arrangements:

 

 

 

 

 

A little talk after everything is done.

congratulations. beautiful. 

[dvm27]

Captain Sir C. Passaro's figure is more anatomically correct than that skinny stick figure you substituted. No wonder he gave it a thumbs up. Love the way your treatment of the cabin makes your model unique.

[AnobiumPunctatum]

Really nice progress. The color of the ivory looks fantastic.

[Beckmann]

Hi all,

 

I added the coamings and made the planking of the deck. That was a nice work to do.

 

 

 

[Chuck]

That is quite nice.  Well done.

[Rustyj]

Beautiful work! 

[Beckmann]

Thank you all for the likes and comments,

I proceeded with the rudder, wich was so incredibly well designed by Chuck.

 

 

 Just following the step by step instructions

 

 

 

 

 

She loves doing the fiddly things and her eyes are better than mine anyway...

 

 

Not much left to do, and I can turn the hull back over and mount the rudder in its place.

Matthias

 

[Beckmann]

Here we go with the rudder mounted at the model.

Great job!

[Beckmann]

The grating is about 1,6 mm or 1/16" thick now. Is that how you do it Chuck?
