Matt D Posted March 13, 2023 Author #181 Posted March 13, 2023 I completed chapter seven. My elm pumps are not glued in yet. The handles seem pretty fragile they might be in the way down the road, so I left them pinned but not glued. As you can see, I left the beams bright, rather than painting them. The only exception was the forward side of the front-most beam.

Matt D Posted March 14, 2023 Author #185 Posted March 14, 2023 Thank you for your nice comments, Glenn, JJ, and Jim. And thank you to the people who clicked the "like" button. As Chuck describes at the end of the Chapter 7 instructions, that bow area sure looks empty now. I'm looking forward to filling it in with the beautiful Chapter 8 pieces. But first, I need to make more eye bolts and split rings. glbarlow, FrankWouts, James G and 1 other 4 Current Build: HMS Winchelsea 1:48 (Group Project) Completed Builds: Virginia 1819 Artesania Latina - 1:41
Matt D Posted March 19, 2023 Author #186 Posted March 19, 2023 (edited) The Admiral is recovering from Covid, so I had lots of time to work on chapter 8 this weekend while she was isolating from everyone. She had a mild case and is well on the mend. Here are some pictures of my progress. I’m going to need to order chapter nine soon.

James G Posted March 20, 2023 #191 Posted March 20, 2023 Hope the Covid recovery ❤️🩹 is progressing comfortably. My wife and I had it last August and the worst part was our son and his wife were visiting from out of state when it hit us. We finished the rest of the visit outside and at a distance which seemed weird. However, they remained healthy and we recovered quickly. Your Winnie continues to look beautiful as you progress, Matt. Thanks for providing a great log, along with others, for us recent starters to follow!

Matt D Posted March 25, 2023 Author #194 Posted March 25, 2023 (edited) Here are a few pictures of my stove. I think my weathering powders are a little too heavy. I have not glued the flue yet. I’m afraid it will be in the way when I plank the forecastle.

scrubbyj427 Posted March 26, 2023 #196 Posted March 26, 2023 Nice work Matt, I actually think you weathered it just right, it looks realistic.

Matt D Posted March 27, 2023 Author #198 Posted March 27, 2023 Thanks, Jim, JJ, and Rusty. It was fun to build it.

Matt D Posted April 8, 2023 Author #205 Posted April 8, 2023 Thank you, Rusty, JJ, Chuck, Glenn, and Jim, for your comments. JJ, you’re right about the fun stuff! Chapter nine is full of really neat stuff. I’ve planked the bulwarks on the quarterdeck and made the cap rail on one side of the waist. These two things make a huge difference. Having finished surfaces in those areas is a world of difference.

Having finished surfaces in those areas is a world of difference. Once I got the caprails on it felt like I rounded the corner for the finish line for sure, not only did It give the appearance of an “almost” finished model but the black added a much needed contrast to all the red and bare wood that needed to be covered.
