BobG Posted September 13, 2020 #31 Posted September 13, 2020 She's going to be quite a showpiece, Don. You have a nice, spacious workspace also. I don't think I could even fit a model this size into my tiny modeling area. FrankWouts 1 Bob Garcia "Measure once, cuss twice!"

Nunnehi (Don) Posted September 13, 2020 Author #32 Posted September 13, 2020 Thanks, Bob. I’m very lucky to have a finished basement and a Wife doesn’t like stairs so She never goes down there😉. My oldest Son also did a stint as an apprentice cabinetmaker and built a desk that fits me like I wanted. It’s simple but has some good storage space and cutouts for power, etc. Thanks again, Don Edwardkenway, FrankWouts and BobG 3
Nunnehi (Don) Posted November 8, 2020 Author #33 Posted November 8, 2020 Am making some progress and have finished Chapter 3. Thanks to Chuck for replacing broken window frames due to ham-handed handling. Will be starting Chapter 4 in the morning and eager to move on. scrubbyj427, Edwardkenway, Gregory and 10 others 13

Nunnehi (Don) Posted November 8, 2020 Author #37 Posted November 8, 2020 Thanks for the kind words, Rusty, I appreciate it! I’ve been following your build and am deeply impressed both with its precision and your choice of woods - it’s beautiful! If mine turns out half as nice, I’ll be happy. Don Rustyj and FrankWouts 2
Nunnehi (Don) Posted November 9, 2020 Author #38 Posted November 9, 2020 Two of my favorite tools- the equal space divider is perfect for finding an exact center line. Don Jorge Diaz O, JpR62, Rustyj and 9 others 12
BobG Posted November 16, 2020 #39 Posted November 16, 2020 (edited) Very nice work, Don, and thanks for showing us that equal space divider. It looks like a really cool, useful tool.

Nunnehi (Don) Posted November 16, 2020 Author #40 Posted November 16, 2020 Bob, Thanks! I was a cartographer in a previous life and have had the dividers probably 45 years. You can find several different versions on Amazon but not sure which ones are best. The ones I have are K&E and Felsenthal. Don BobG and FrankWouts 2

Nunnehi (Don) Posted November 16, 2020 Author #42 Posted November 16, 2020 Thanks, Chuck! Thanks also for the replacement parts, I really appreciate it! Moving along nicely with Chapter 4. Don FrankWouts 1
Nunnehi (Don) Posted December 23, 2020 Author #43 Posted December 23, 2020 (edited) I’ve been making steady progress and have finished planking the deck. I was initially a bit confused about the pattern, but with lots of references back to Rusty’s and Bob’s builds, I figured it out and am very much looking forward to moving on to making the gunport doors. As I also build in plastic, I have quite a stash of left over photoetch brass bits and pieces and have picked out several pieces that are the right dimensions to make the hinges.

Congratulations on the guitar - been trying to get a new sax for a while but no luck! The Winnie could replace the Calypso, they’re about the same size, but I’d really like to figure out a way to display both..............

Nunnehi (Don) Posted April 19, 2021 Author #53 Posted April 19, 2021 A bit of an update....... I’ve been working on Chapter 5 and have it pretty much completed with a few exceptions like the trim in front of the figurehead and the gunport lids. The bow details were a challenge but I’m happy with how they came out. On to the cannons soon. Don FrankWouts, Edwardkenway, Matt D and 11 others 14
Chuck Posted April 19, 2021 #54 Posted April 19, 2021 Nice work on the cheeks and hair brackets. Have you ever modeled those before? They are tricky and you pulled it off well. These are just like on the contemporary model. Nothing was simplified which is why you should be very happy with those results. chuck FrankWouts, Edwardkenway and BobG 3 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
Nunnehi (Don) Posted April 19, 2021 Author #55 Posted April 19, 2021 Thanks for the kind words, Chuck, I really appreciate it. No, have never done that exact kind of thing before and it took quite a bit of time with lots of references to the pictures you have posted and more than a bit of sanding. I’ve learned over the years that consistent, parallel lines are pleasing to the eye so that’s what I went for. At one point, I didn’t like the set of the ones on the starboard side so removed and repositioned them. Should finish the gunports this week and will post some more pics Thanks again, Don BobG and FrankWouts 2
