Dutch yes! :D 

I think I’m going to, 17th century Dutch ships always grab my eye. Perhaps I can collaborate with Ab and produce any one of the wonderful models/plans he’s made.

Quick update:

 

Planking above the wales is complete on the port side and all the gun ports are cleaned up and painted. Need to finish a few details on the stbd side channel wale planking and that’s it for now. My Winnie awaits me back home!
 

Crating model and shipping to mainland and its eventual trip across the country.

Portland is coming along really nicely JJ, but also cant wait to see you back on the Winnie too!

Will the lower deck be getting a full set of cannons/carriages or just dummy cannon barrels sticking out?

Hi Ben, 

the gun deck will be complete with all the 24 pdrs as well as cabins, chain pumps and fittings. It will be fully viewable through the framed upper deck with minimal planks.

As soon as the hull is planked I will begin working on the gun deck. 


Im looking forward to making some progress on my Winnie as well, it’s been way too long and I’m so close to the end!
