My Winnie will be a tiny little bit different then others. I just did not like the look of the Captains cabin walls so I built my own and painted them white. This made the cabin a tad bit narrower so without doing a lot of trimming on the doors it could not fit four doors. Went with three and a filler. Looks fine. Not historically or Chuck accurate but nobody will know except this little group. Also added a ship’s cat, the Admiral loves it.

Been busy busy working on a display for the whaling museum in Lahaina Maui . A buddy of mine built the Charles W Morgan and asked me to build the case. The trick with this case was it had to (1) be used for transport without damage to the model, (2) be the model display case with no modification after shipment and (3) have a water feature. It all worked…go figure. Anyway after this project I got back to work on my Winnie.

Wow, I have a Charles Morgan sitting in the box. Bought it on ebay for a song. Now you've got me interested in this again...

Winnie update. Got the outside planking done on the fore castle and weather deck. What is it going on with these upside down images. This is the only site on which this happens. They are basically the same size. Some post correctly others don’t. It is frustrating!

I have no idea why that is happening to you. But the progress looks really good. I like what you are doing with the model.  Its nice to see you forging ahead.

Are you taking the pictures with an IPhone and posting them directly to the site? If so I had same issue - depends which way you hold phone to take picture, i had to edit the picture on my phone and flip it around and then save it again - it would then upload to MSW the way it was supposed to.

Test flipped photo upside down prior to posting. It loaded upside down. I am going to flip it back and try again. And ditto. Same thing.

Jim,

 

Have been having the same problem and it’s causing me to utter very inappropriate things for polite society so I tried an experiment. I use an iPhone for my posts and took the two photos below. One is holding my phone horizontally with the lens at the top left and the other is with the phone flipped 180 degrees with the lens at the bottom right - need to confirm but maybe this is what’s going on. Both pics are correctly oriented in the photo library on my phone, but one is flipped when I post here.

I always make sure I hold my iPhone 11 horizontally, with the camera push button at my right thumb, both pictures and movies are upright and can be watched on a computer screen or tv upright and full screen, that is, no small vertical phone recordings.

Even uploading to this site can be done without problems.

Just to confirm, for reasons known only to Apple an iPhone or iPad phot will upload and post based on the orientation when it was taken whether it’s flipped in editing or not.

I had six photos posted originally, four were upside down so I removed them. And there is the rub, it is random. I went out flipped them upside down in edit thinking that would solve the issue, reposted, nope still upside down. Infuriating!

My photos sometimes post upside down from my I phone too. Posting here strips the Apple orientation tag or something. I solve this problem by re-saving my photos in editing software before posting here. I use "preview" on a mac to do this but other simple editing software will reset the orientation to a non I phone "proprietary" orientation tag. Hint: Editing on your phone will not solve the problem. Are we off topic yet?

Well my Winnie is finished. As I have said before I took some liberties with Chuck’s awesome design. Mine is nowhere as crisp and beautiful as Stuntflyer Mike’s, I envy your talent, but I really like mine. I coppered the hull, added Trenails to hull and main deck, used ebony deadeyes, added gun crew and cook figures from Chris Watton and even found a figure I could sit on the head. I am currently in the stand planning stages and she currently rests on Pegasus. Thanks for a great time Chuck. Really, really, really looking forward to Speedwell.

Congratulations Jim, she looks great. The figures add a whole new layer to the model and the copper looks really good. The crew really gives perspective to the size of Winnie. Looking forward to seeing how you display her.

Congratulations on finishing your model. Definitely made it yours with a very different take. I’m sure you are justly proud of your Winnie and looking upon her will bring joy for years to come. I also look forward to your plan for display.  Well done!
