By the way, 9/32” to the foot is not an unusual scale in Europe. It’s simply 1:43.

Thanks. Country: USA | Posts: 3351 Carrie Creek Fireman Premium Member Posted - 04/08/2018 :  12:16:26 PM     Carl, I am using basswood. Get from Michael’s mostly, sometimes from Hobby Town. Phil Z POR (press on regardless) Country: USA | Posts: 1507 Carrie Creek Fireman Premium Member Posted - 04/21/2018 :  5:30:59 PM     finally, have time to resize and post! have all frames in and now am sanding down to the lines and fairing overall. pics of the framing: frames laid out ready to cutout a view with the transom sitting in place the aft support is there to hold the transom at the correct angle, the transom is not glued yet as I still need to sand the correct bevels around it. a nice side shot with rudder added closeup a quick sketch showing difference between model and real so, sanding away, when faired will start placing the deck beams and the deck structures sides. enjoy Phil Z POR (press on regardless) Country: USA | Posts: 1507 Pennman Fireman Premium Member Posted - 04/21/2018 :  6:53:36 PM     Phil, I'm in too..would like to see how this is done.

Country: USA | Posts: 3351 Frank Palmer Fireman Posted - 04/21/2018 :  8:52:06 PM       Looks ship shape. Nice lines. Country: USA | Posts: 5277 Carrie Creek Fireman Premium Member Posted - 04/22/2018 :  10:27:55 PM     Rich, welcome aboard, any and all questions will be answered to my best ability. Carl, thanks Frank, thanks also. Still sanding away!..... Phil Z POR (press on regardless) Country: USA | Posts: 1507 Carrie Creek Fireman Premium Member Posted - 05/01/2018 :  12:00:56 AM     will still need some sanding to fair in the topside tumblehome but in order to get to there I need to get the deck beams in and the bulwark stanchions made and installed. so, made a jig to cut the camber that is in the deck beams. Have cut the pieces that make up the Great beam and step in the deck. This would be a single block of wood but it was easier to make 4 pieces than to try and cut the steps in a block. Pics: the 3/32" thick beam material slid in place ready to cut in the curve of the camber the curve cut in the beam cut to the correct height the 4 pieces making up the Great beam than over view a wider view the fore deck sits on the lower front step and the aft deck sits on the rear step. so now more deck beams fore and aft.
