Glenn, you have done yourself proud! Your work and dedication to "getting it right" produced a Winnie that is a feast to the eye. It's been a pleasure following along. Though it was three years ago you started, it also seems so much shorter. Well done!

Congratulations on finishing your Winchelsea.  Your model is a work of art.  I have enjoyed following your build log and it will definitely be a great reference for future Winchelsea builders.

This Winchelsea is a magnificent ship model. Many thanks for your many posts, always very detailed and above all very instructive. It's been a real pleasure to follow this superb work.

Congratulations on your superb effort.

Thanks seems so inadequate in consideration of all the pictures and instructions you have posted here.
I am about to finish Cheerful having followed your build log alongside the instructions, as it is your level of skill, and more importantly, your patience, that is my aspiration.

In the New Year I will begin my Winchelsea adventure and once again, I shall be using your build log as my guide alongside Chuck’s instructions.

Cheers

Paul

Hey Glenn,

 

I thought I'd chime in too.  Your Winnie is a superb work of art.  I reference your Cheerful build regularly as I progress with my own Cheerful.  One thing I have noticed as I've also been following this build log is you've managed to really raise your own bar with the quality, precision, and finish of this model when compared to your Cheerful.  Don't get me wrong, your Cheerful is amazing, which is why it's one of the builds I regularly reference.  But your Winnie is simply superb.  I can't wait to see what you tackle next.

Thanks. It’s true building Cheerful taught me lessons I carried over to Winchelsea, modelling is definitely a progressive skill set. 

Regards,

Glenn
