James H Posted November 23, 2021 Share #1 Posted November 23, 2021 As I'm now on a brief respite from my usual stuff, I thought I'd fill in a little time with the HMS Winchelsea Double Capstan kit that I got from Syren a while ago. I'll work on this between killing aliens on my PlayStation and other important daily stuff 😁 This is a pic of the kit contents, minus the black filament that is used for the bolt heads. The first task was to gently clean up any surface scorch from the laser. Thankfully, there's very little, and I used both 320 and 400 grit paper to finish the surfaces. I'll be working on this over the next days and weeks. VTHokiEE, scrubbyj427, CiscoH and 9 others 12 SAY NO TO PIRACY. SUPPORT ORIGINAL IDEAS AND MANUFACTURERS. KEEP IT REAL!

James H Posted December 7, 2021 Author Share #3 Posted December 7, 2021 Only a little update as my workshop is a little indisposed at the moment, plus I'm heavily into a PlayStation game too. 😆 I really do like the colour of the timber in this little kit. The fest parts to use are for making the lower capstan. The column sections are first slid onto the 1/16 square strip. Note the thicker one sits at the end. These are then glued to each other, but NOT the strip! Aligning these is easy as you simply align the edges which have the connection tabs present. When dry, the narrow edges are cleaned up and evened out. These will be visible between the chocks. Now onto the whelps. This sheet is engraved on both sides to accommodate the chocks. As we all know, removing char is important 😉 The char on the outside edges of these is now carefully removed. More as soon as I can get back into my workshop! chris watton, Vladimir_Wairoa, Ryland Craze and 7 others 10 SAY NO TO PIRACY. SUPPORT ORIGINAL IDEAS AND MANUFACTURERS. KEEP IT REAL!

MEDDO Posted December 7, 2021 Share #4 Posted December 7, 2021 This was a nice little kit very well designed and I just finished it myself. 1 hour ago, James H said: plus I'm heavily into a PlayStation game too. 😆 Haha! Endwalker just dropped and I am pretty sure it's available on a PS. Enjoy! mgatrost 1 Michael Shipwrights of Ohio Current Build: ...
