HMS Winchelsea 1764 by Guillermo Madico - semi scratch build

[Guillermo Eduardo Madico]

Thank you all for the likes,

I decided to build inboard to give strength to all structures before completing the moldings and freezes.  It will also give me more time to customize the freezes.

I am intentionally mix and matching sedar and sherry wood kits from Chuck's chapter wood installments.  The deck planks are holly.

I build the sherry parts out of the model to ensure they were squared and placed back into the ship (they are not glued yet).

 

 

 

 

Next, I will add the false deck.

Best,

G

N Thank you JJ, My plan is to use wood for color. Thank you all for the likes.

During the Holliday break I completed planking the bulwarks, added the spirketting, clamps, and the panels for te cabin.  Before adding the false deck, I finished and placed the ladders. I used cherry for the counter planks, coamings, mast and capstan partners.  The base plate for the stove was painted to simulate slate/blue-stone.  The stone color was selected to add some of the green color of the freezes in the deck.  After painting the bulwark red, I added the margin plank.  I used holly and follow the plans for the scarf joins.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Next, I will plank the deck with holly.  The freezes will be completed after that.

Best,

Thank you Vladimir and all for the likes.

I finished the captain deck.  I followed the method Chuck told us by gluing strips of wood first and cut them again ensuring the the cut is a perfect square.  I made a template and glued the strips in a "V" pattern to keep the squares aligned.  I use holly and red cedar.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Next deck planking.

My progress on planking the deck.  I am following the plans for placing the joints.  Wood is holly.  I painted black under the mast partners but also under the comings to increase contrast.

That looks really good Guillermo! That’s definitely the hardest part of the deck and you’re making it look easy. Your cherry coamings and grates look wonderful next to the cedar.

When working with holly any little mistake shows.  I am taking my time to do it right.

The holly deck looks great, I’ve used it on some past models. If I can find a source I may use it on my Winnie. Nice work

[Beckmann]

Close to perfection. Well done!!
