FrankWouts Posted June 9 Author #403 Posted June 9 While my Winnie is going to stay upright forever soon, before I continue planking the deck, I first shifted my attention making a nice stand for it. It’s 200X600mm. A friend made and milled the lovely edge to the pear plank in four passes... The pear is beautiful wood, but I doubt if it will match the Alaskan Yellow Cedar when treated with whipe on poly… I’m also thinking of painting it black, as it shouldn’t be a distraction from the model. What do you think? Hope to post updates on the deck planking soon! Frank.

Pirate adam Posted June 12 #404 Posted June 12 I think it would be a shame to paint it black. The wood is beautiful. Adam Ryland Craze, Tigersteve and FrankWouts 3
glbarlow Posted June 12 #405 Posted June 12 The pear is complimentary. I wouldn’t paint it.

Ronald-V Posted June 14 #407 Posted June 14 (edited) With some WOP it would get darker and your Winnie is of a lighter color. I think that would be a nice combination. Did you already test fit how it looks? Edited June 14 by Ronald-V scrubbyj427 and FrankWouts 2 Currently working on the HMS Sphinx from Vanguard Models
scrubbyj427 Posted June 14 #408 Posted June 14 That looks great Frank! Definitely do not paint it. Pear is lovely. FrankWouts 1 Current Builds: HMS Winchelsea 1764 1:48 - 5th rate 32 gun frigate (on hold for now) HMS Portland 1770 Prototype 1:48 - 4th rate 50 gun ship
FrankWouts Posted June 20 Author #409 Posted June 20 Thanks you all, For all your tips and comments and the likes. Well, I'll first try to use some WOP and see how it looks, the overwhelming majority thinks I shouldn't paint the pear, which would be ashame I think too. @Ronald: I've not yet test fitted the whole stand, I'm still fine-tuning the two conformal placeholders with the hull... Once it all fits smoothly, I'll try the WOP and see how it combines. Thanks, Frank. glbarlow 1 Current builds on MSW: HMS Winchelsea 1:48: Prior builds on MSW: None

FrankWouts Posted Tuesday at 01:08 PM Author #411 Posted Tuesday at 01:08 PM (edited) Checking the flow of the bow of the middle section of the jigsaw part of the deck planking. Just gave it a little fine sanding thusfar. Next step is to measure the equal distances with the template at each section line and lining off with the rest of the planking at both sides with narrow tape. Frank.
