Good morning Daniel. I hope you are enjoying Florida ( my kind of climate- hot, hot and more hot) and have settled in. Must be exciting building a “one of a kind” (well 9 as you have said) build. So far you are certainly doing this “kit” justice. I have pulled up a beach deck chair ;) . Cheers Grant

Hi all

I have achieved my first milestone: To have the frames with the first beveling done. It was achieved using a spindle sander.

Then I proced to finish placing all the frames one over the other. It start with frame 25, end with frame 37. I have not placed for the pictures Frame37A neither Frame 38. Frames 37, 37A and 38 (these also full 3D) , as well as 25, are CNC. Frame 37 (CNC) you will see in the interior picture that has not been sanded yet.

Next steps:
- Take down frame by frame. Do a final char cleaning on the sections that will be visible (see the last 3 frames almost all those sections without char).
- Start to glue the frames.
- Final sanding for a smooth hull shape.

Let see a few pictures:

Cheers and have an excellent weekend !!!

Hi Daniel, you are doing a good job removing the char on the frames, your stack looks better than mine. The build gets more interesting as the build goes along,

Thank you Mike !!!

It is very encouraging when an experience modeler says something like that.

Cheers !

Hi guys just baby steps and moving on.

As mentioned, this built is a Navy Board Style. The navy board Style construction does not require a Jig, the frames are stacked vertically, one over the other. It requires a lot of stack testing before you move to glue the frames. This is the reason why I am posting many frames stacks at this stage of the built. The presicion of the stacking will define your frame assembling and position perfection. Of course, anyone is perfect, so you will still have to do a good sanding to the hull. Internally and externally.

Let's stop here the words and show some pictures.

Frames are , for example, 25 and 25 A , 26 and 26A and so on. First I glued all the pairs (frames X with XA)

After that I staked the frames again (no glue)

They looked fine so I moved to the next step. Glue the first set of frames. I will do 2 or 3 sets. This is the first set and the only one I did today.

I will let them overnight with those weights. If you have any questions please, don't hesitate posting it.

All the best !!
Daniel
