Chuck Posted September 9, 2017 Author Share #191 Posted September 9, 2017 I am glad you found them.... The flags and ensigns are now complete. The dowels were tapered and painted red. Then I added the trucks. The flags are made just like on Cheerful. They are printed on tissue paper and shaped on the staff. The ensigns are the English flag from 1710 and Queen Anne's royal standard from the same time period. Next up will be the oars.

Chuck Posted September 11, 2017 Author Share #194 Posted September 11, 2017 Prototyping the sweeps for the barge..... One down and nine more to go. Each sweep is made from four pieces. Each piece is shaped accordingly. It is either turned and rounded off or tapered and steamed bent. I will of course elaborate more in the instructions. But they seem to go together well enough and are pretty straight forward.

Chuck Posted September 13, 2017 Author Share #197 Posted September 13, 2017 Spent some time making a base. Testing how to display the sweeps. Still only one sweep completed. Wont get to the others until next week. Even so, this project is in the home stretch. At least the model is. I still have to carve the decorations for the port side too!! The sweeps will be displayed 5 per side on laser cut racks. I just taped them to the base for this test but I like how it will look. Then I have to finalize the plans, write the instructions, think about packaging and start manufacturing. So still lots to do before these are shelf-ready. But at least now the long to-do list is shorter and more manageable.

So please click around and if you have any trouble placing an order please let me know. I have tested the cart and all seems well. But just in case please let me know if you see some screwy text I may have missed or broken links.

Chuck Posted September 24, 2017 Author Share #207 Posted September 24, 2017 Just a quick update. Even though I only have to make 5 more sweeps I can tell you that they take a long time to complete. I finished the sweeps for one side of the display so now you guys can better see what the finished presentation will look like. While working on these last few parts I am also finalizing the plans and gearing up to start making kits in just a few weeks. I am also busy writing the instruction manual. I am looking forward to the Winnie soon after !!!

Chuck Posted September 25, 2017 Author Share #209 Posted September 25, 2017 Thanks No its just paper. You cut them out carefully with a #11 blade and glue them on. Really simple. They are dolphins/sea creatures based on the typical decorations shown on sweeps of that time period. I basically tried to repeat what Druxey painted on his sweeps for the Hospital Barge. His sweeps as decorated inspired me to do the same. I think it adds a nice touch. Here is one of his painted sweeps. Although he painted all of his directly on each sweep. I cheated and made one and then scanned it, printed it .....cut them out and glued them on.
