I’m not sure about the “all natural” quote there Glenn, there is actually a lot more paint on this model than I like personally, but we all have to expand our horizons. My Pegasus only has one color of paint on it, and I now wish I had done that in ebony wood. ben Current builds: HMS Pegasus TFFM. HMS Winchelsea.

glbarlow Posted October 22 Share #332 Posted October 22 Let’s just say it has less red than mine. I built my Fair American by “painting with wood,” not a drop of paint on it, all variations of different woods. It was a fun project so I get it.

Trussben Posted October 29 Author Share #333 Posted October 29 Pushing forward into Chapter 11, I cleaned all of the channel pieces and glued the layers together and faired the backside to fit each location, I then added 1mm brass pins to each of them, 2 pins for the smaller ones and 3 pins for the longer ones. The trim work was cut away and then holes in the hull drilled to suit the pin positions, then the channel was glued in place. I just completed the port side and will get the other side done this week. realworkingsailor, Rustyj, westwood and 8 others 11 Current builds: HMS Pegasus TFFM. HMS Winchelsea.

Trussben Posted November 4 Author Share #335 Posted November 4 Halfway through Chapter 11, the gangways and their ladders along with newel posts and their fancy work is done. The Chesstrees and fenders, with their friezes completed. All of the Channels installed and I have started adding the channel straps, I looked at both boxwood or ebony deadeyes and I didn’t like the look of either so I have ordered some Swiss Pear deadeyes hoping they give the look that I want. I have also made a decision about the swivel guns - I’m not going to install them or their mounts - not keen on how they look on finished models that I have seen sticking up and altering the flow of the model.

Michael Mash Posted Friday at 05:41 PM Share #337 Posted Friday at 05:41 PM I don’t build wood sailing vessels so I am no expert. But, I don’t think it can be done any cleaner than this. I am curious about one thing: Since joining this site, I noticed there are quite a few Winchelseas being built. What make ship a popular choice?

Chuck Posted Friday at 05:44 PM Share #338 Posted Friday at 05:44 PM Really looks beautiful....just wait till you get those headrails on. It will be a show-stopper for sure. scrubbyj427 and Trussben 2 Chuck Passaro - MSW Admin Sloop Speedwell - POF scratch Block Island Boat - POF scratch HMS Winchelsea - POB scratch build HM Cutter Cheerful - POB scratch build Royal Barge - POF scratch Medway Longboat- POF Scratch SYREN SHIP MODEL COMPANY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike HI IMHO - the Winchelsea is pretty much the best 1:48 Frigate “kit” out there, it is perfectly designed and the laser cut parts supplied by Syren are excellent - this gives the builder the best chance to complete a really good looking model and I guess that’s why it’s so popular.

glbarlow Posted Sunday at 03:28 PM Share #341 Posted Sunday at 03:28 PM You’re really moving along, it looks great. I got stuck for a long while sorting out head timbers, I’m sure you’ll fly right thru it. So much great detail in such a small space chapter 12, fun stuff.

Trussben Posted Sunday at 08:36 PM Author Share #342 Posted Sunday at 08:36 PM Chains completed on the Starboard side. I also installed the gunport lids on both sides and the remaining QD cannons. Only things left to finish Chapter 11 are the entry steps, anchor billboards and the elm tree pumps. woodartist, jansmiss, gjdale and 6 others 8 1 Current builds: HMS Pegasus TFFM. HMS Winchelsea.
