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! 

[Ryland Craze]

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.

[MBerg]

Holy cow. Incredible job. I only just jumped in the last few weeks here, but I appreciate the intricate details none-the-less.

[JpR62]

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.

[Ronald-V]

Congratulations on finishing this masterpiece Glenn! Superb  

[Toolmaker]

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

That is stunning, beyond words. If I'd built that, I'd retire my tools.

 

Simply gorgeous.

Beautiful work Glenn! It’s been great following along, you’ve kept the bar set pretty high for us fellow winnie builder's, looking forward to see what you build next.

Glen,

It is awesome!! I have just started the journey, 6 months of work and I am only 1/2 way thru Chapter 2. I have been using your build log as one of my references since I started and it has been immensely helpful.

[Tossedman]

Wow! So good Glenn, so good! I'm just starting out in this hobby and this is something to aspire to for me. Thanks for sharing and documenting all of your hard work.

 

Cheers,

A truly magnificent model! Thank you Glenn for sharing your journey with us, I’ve been following since the beginning and your Winnie is a go-to for when I have a question about how something could be accomplished. Congratulations again!

 

Best Regards … Rick

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. 

[Thukydides]

Fantastic work Glenn. She really is exquisite. I have enjoyed following along watching her take shape.

[jfhealey]

What next?

Great question. I thing something simpler like the Medway Longboat. 

[JGoff]

Your work is absolutely stunning. It has been a joy to follow along, and I will look forward to your next ship!

If you decide to go that way you won't regret it!

Hey Glenn,
I've been following your blog since the beginning, I always enjoyed it when you posted new photos and comments, insights from the build.
It was a great motivation for me. Thank you for that.
You have built a really beautiful and admirable model.
Congratulations and I can't wait to see what you will do next time.

[glbarlow]

Thank you all for the gracious comments. I really enjoyed this build, a little sad it’s finished.

Congratulations on finishing your superb model of HMS Winchelsea 1764 Glenn!

Your build log was and still is an inspiration and a true benchmark for me.

I don’t have as much time and your experience clearly not only shows in your building skills, but also in your fast work pace…

Once again congratulations and I’ll be following your next project with great interest as well!

Cheers,
Frank.
