rafine Posted April 7, 2022 Author Share #331 Posted April 7, 2022 I've now completed the quarterdeck rail and the transom rail. I pretty much followed Chuck's instructions and sequence, including cutting down the transom frames before doing the quarterdeck rail. Not everything came out quite as straight as I would have liked. One change that I made from the sequence was to drill the holes for the gunport eyebolts and ringbolts before mounting the rail uprights, since I was sure that nothing good would come of trying to drill over and around the deck furniture and fixtures. I also added the eyebolts and ringbolts at the transom ports, as shown on the plans. I had made up the fairleads, but somehow managed to vacuum them up and then compounded my stupidity by throwing away the laser sheets with the spares after completing the six needed. I will now have to scratch build them before moving on to the guns.

rafine Posted June 13, 2022 Author Share #339 Posted June 13, 2022 Some of you may have wondered where I've been and what I have bee doing for the last couple of months without any progress on Winnie. The short answer is that I 've had some serious health issues that resulted in two hospital stays. Even since being home, I have found it difficult to focus and concentrate on modeling. I also seem to have lost, at least temporarily, some hand dexterity. In sum, I have been unable to complete the quarterdeck gun rigging. I am now awaiting the release of the chapter 11 parts, in the hope that enthusiasm will be rekindled and I can continue modeling.

rafine Posted July 1, 2022 Author Share #353 Posted July 1, 2022 Finally. Enough focus and concentration have returned to allow me to complete the making, installation and rigging of the quarterdeck guns. While the results are not all that I hoped for, I am absolutely delighted to be back at work on Winnie again and making progress. Recovery is a slow process, particularly at my age, but I am far more optimistic about being able to complete this project than I Iwas when I last posted. On to chapter eleven, when the parts become available.
