glbarlow Posted March 4, 2023 Share #241 Posted March 4, 2023 I like the gray wash on the mounting plate - I've been deciding what I want to do there. The weathering powder doesn't stand out very much. Lovely stove too.

Trussben Posted March 11, 2023 Author Share #244 Posted March 11, 2023 I had to clean up the Dockyard before going on vacation, but thought I would post a couple of pictures of the two models, both in the same scale and of roughly the same timeframe - 1764 for Winchelsea and 1776 for Pegasus.

Trussben Posted April 15, 2023 Author Share #251 Posted April 15, 2023 Finishing up Chapter5 with the gunport lids and I thought I would share how I make these. 1. Scotch tape is placed over each of the gunports and then the outline of the port and the position of the plank seams is traced onto it with a pencil. 2. Pieces of the correct width wood to match the planking widths are edge glued together about 1” wide and then the Scotch tape is pulled off the hull and aligned to the wood seams. 3. I roughly sand down to the outline of the outside of the port, and then fine sand while checking the fit until I get a snug fit it the port it is intended for. 4. Add the backing piece to each and paint the insides red. rlb, Tigersteve, James G and 21 others 24 Current builds: HMS Pegasus TFFM. HMS Winchelsea.

Trussben Posted June 27, 2023 Author Share #255 Posted June 27, 2023 Well I have to suspend work on Winchelsea for several months at least because We are packing up and moving from upstate NY to the Carolinas. My Winnie is in a perfect stage of construction to stop at as no beams or deck parts have been added yet that could get knocked about or broken, I can pack them separately and safely away in their own boxes and do a really good job packing the main hull.
