westwood Posted January 1, 2022 #1 Posted January 1, 2022 Hi boys, Let me you join your group and introduce myself. I am Slovak, I live near Trenčín. I have a manual job so I spend my free time mainly on biking. I am a forum member for many years but I came back to modelling after about twenty years. Two years ago I started with Revenge kit which is rather a scratch build. But I like Chuck's project very much and indeed all your builds guys have inspired me a lot to return to this beautiful hobby. So I couldn't wait any longer and started building Winnie as well. I'm currently finishing the first chapter. I'll gradually upload photos of the build. Now I wish everyone happy, healthy and prosperous new year.

westwood Posted January 4, 2022 Author #11 Posted January 4, 2022 Hey, guys, thank you for the warm welcome and the kudos. I really appreciate it. Adding the bulkheads was the easy part because everything fit perfectly. I start fairing at the bow. Then I did the Port framing. Sanding the ports was a bit more challenging because the bulkheads are soft poplar plywood and cherry wood is harder. And then I made the job even more complicated by adding balsa blocks. I hope I won't regret it.

Chuck Posted January 6, 2022 #18 Posted January 6, 2022 Now would be a great time to check the shape of your bow. This will ensure the caprail parts will fit and the fancy rail. See below.

Chuck Posted January 6, 2022 #20 Posted January 6, 2022 Perfect....but seriously check the bow shape before you plank over it.

westwood Posted January 7, 2022 Author #21 Posted January 7, 2022 So I checked the bow shape. More sanding was needed, so far the right side is done, I hope it's good. The temporary plank is thick as the planking plus the fancy rail. Fcastle cap rail template now fits quite well, it overlaps by about 0,5 mm. Is it better now Chuck?

westwood Posted January 26, 2022 Author #25 Posted January 26, 2022 Hello friends, unfortunately I didn't have enough time to build but I finally took the next step. I checked the bow shape over and over again. And yes the templates and plans and also your logs help a lot... ...Finally the first plank is glued. I just hope it's ok now. What do you think guys , has it fine run ? I hope so, because I'm worried about it.

westwood Posted January 27, 2022 Author #28 Posted January 27, 2022 Thank you guys, the drop plank isn't glued. I only used it as a template for the position of the first strake.

Trussben Posted January 27, 2022 #29 Posted January 27, 2022 I narrowed the width of mine a bit to better match the widths of the other 5 planks in that belt, it helped with the flow of the planking up the bow.
