westwood Posted March 1, 2023 Author #151 Posted March 1, 2023 Hi my friends, I can finally show a little - big progress. Before gluing the moldings I moved away from the plans and assembled the channels to prepare them for later fitting on the model. And then I glued the middle moulding first and then the bottom one. I chose this method and the friezes I'll try to glue in the end. But before that happens, I've done what I've been looking forward to for many months.

westwood Posted April 9, 2023 Author #156 Posted April 9, 2023 Thanks for the comments and likes guys, Especially now that I wasn't doing so well and progress was minimal. I kept toying with the idea of doing something with the friezes. I thought about editing in PC, but I'm not a graphic designer and I couldn't do it. It would take experience with graphics and a graphics tablet would probably be useful. Then I thought what about getting some waterslide decals made. Expensive and uncertain result. Today I tried hand painting but I'm not a cartoonist either, and my magnifying glass isn't strong enough. And I also don't have such micro brushes yet How the hell did they do it at the time? So I guess I gave up, and today I put the first friezes in place. What do you think?

scrubbyj427 Posted April 10, 2023 #158 Posted April 10, 2023 That looks great Dusan! The friezes are very well produced on the Winnie, I often wondered if decals would look better but I don’t think so. They are the next best thing to actually painting them…. In this case you could use them as a guide and paint right over them but that would be crazy!

glbarlow Posted April 11, 2023 #159 Posted April 11, 2023 (edited) I wasn’t all that sure about the paper friezes at first. After spraying them with fixative and now having applied them all with the recommended stick glue I’m happy with how they turned out. Short of hand painting, way beyond my skills, I think it’s the best answer. Yours, like your amazing planking, look absolutely great.

westwood Posted October 23, 2023 Author #167 Posted October 23, 2023 (edited) So the summer is over and I finally processed all the photos I took over the summer on the model. I thought I'd have the third and fourth chapters finished by now, especially the friezes, but as you'll see, I'm still avoiding that particular part.... I have finished some details on the stern, the windows and the inner sill. The only thing still missing are is carvings. From chapter five I worked on the bulwark and added all eye bolts and split rings, cleats and staghorns. I only need to make the port lid hinges. Chapter six is finished. So far only dry on the deck. I used Mike's method to fix it. The cannon wheels really gave me a beating. Chapter Seven. Ready are all the beams, bulkheads, knees, chain pumps, gallows, jeer bitts, Capstan and almost all the other deck fittings I think. So I've got a bit of a lego puzzle ready to go. 🙂 Chapter eight is also almost ready for final assembly.

jfhealey Posted January 3 #174 Posted January 3 I can see a lot of careful and wonderfully executed attention to small details that make a big difference - the wheels of the gun carriages for example (how did you make them?) and the scraped mouldings (which look superb) to identify only two among many. You must be delighted with the outcome so far. All the best Fred westwood, scrubbyj427, JpR62 and 1 other 4
westwood Posted January 13 Author #175 Posted January 13 Hey guys, I'm responding late as usual, sorry... but thanks a lot for the likes and the kind words. It was a motivation to keep going, albeit slowly, because I had a hard year and it didn't go as expected. I'm hoping to finally finish painting the friezes and move forward. Because the plans for the future are big - Speedwell and I hope JJ that your Portland will follow. scrubbyj427 and FrankWouts 2 Dusan Currently building: HMS Winchelsea 1764 by westwood - 1:48 Revenge 1577 - by westwood - 1:64 In preparation: Fourth-rate ship 1681 - 1:48

westwood Posted January 21 Author #179 Posted January 21 (edited) Thanks for the encouraging words and likes guys. This weekend I finally finished the friezes after an endless struggle. I tried everything, printing on both inkjet and laser printers on different papers, but I still wanted something different. Finally I decided to paint the friezes. First, I repainted the Monsters - how do you call them, right? And then the ornaments - acanthus leaves, which I decided to paint directly on the model. Judge the result yourself. I regret that I didn't start with the ornaments. Today I would have done it differently and used much more muted colors. Maybe next time... But the photos are not faithful either, I have to take new ones in better light... And I still managed to do a few little things. Now I have to finish the gunport hinges and then yay for the next chapter.
