Looks Good Popeye, but i am more amazed on how you keep your head straight with all the builds you have going at once..... -
Hi John, I'm gathering that maybe you see i placed 4 frames at once. It's just my way of thinking about how to approach marking out all the scores Chief. I am in no hurry. So here is my explaination Chief, I was just tired last night and forgot to add how I cam about doing what I did.... I SHOULD OF EXPLAINED MYSELF BETTER AS TO WHY I TEMPORALY ADDED 4 FRAMES INSTEAD OF ONE AT A TIME. MY APOLOGIES FOR THIS. MY DAD WAS A MASONARY AND I WAS HIS APRENTICE. I WAS TAUGHT TO GET THE ENDS CORRECT FIRST AND EVERYTHING ELSE IN BETWEN WILL FALL INTO PLACE. GET THE ENDS RIGHT AND YOU HAVE A TRUE LINE LEVEL.....

Tim , Rusty, Thanks guys for your kind remarks and onward i go.... Well frames 4 n 5 are completed. I builT the square from a display type board material, the type which is used for science projects in school..... I added 1/16" spaced horizonel lines to assist me in keeping the port n starboard sides of the frames level with the horizon.. "SWEETIN BULLETS TIME NOW..... once the DEAD FLAT "0" was glued in place I went ahead and temporarly placed DEAD FLAT "01" and FRAME 01 FORE so I could mark out the locations for the 2 scores of the port n starboard sweep port sills..... I pulled all measurements from the DISPOSITION OF FRAME drawing which I glues to a scrap piece of display board so i could stand it on end and adjust my measuring tool accordingly.... I will then remove frame "01" fore and the dead flat "01". then use my chisel to create the scores..... ALL I CAN SAY FROM HERE ON IS """"I HOPE I KNOW WHAT I'M DOING!!!! and I HOPE I AM DOING IT RIGHT!!!"""" ALL ADVICE IS VERY MUCH WELCOMED......

JP, Greenstone, Thank you both for stopping by. I added the build back because I had been getting a couple of PM's on the build back on MSW 1.0 , so to help the others I had a fail safe and put the build back, though it is missing some texted but better then nothing I always say....

HI Jim, You are doing the right thing weather it be a kit or scratch build....."THINKING AHEAD".... I also plan on adding a bit more support before i fair the frames. They are very fragile and thats what worries me the most, breaking one during the fairing process. On the backboard square you made I to plan on adding a center line, but I also plan on adding serveral horizontal lines about a 1/16" apart. That way i will stand a better chance of keeping the toptimbers level to the horizon.... take care -
