Ed, just a thought do yo feel that you need to install all the strapping or just a small amount to show how it was accomplished on the real construction? It looks fantastic though! Mitchel, read through Ed's post on the HMS Naiad for yoour answer http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/232-hms-naiad-by-edt-160-frigate-38-1797/?hl=naiad Guy

So all the strapping was put in place before any other timber was attached ie: Breast hooks, crutches and carlings etc:.That applying the strapping between the frames and ceiling would seem like it would make for a really strong Hull! Do you think that on the actual construction the strapping would have been let into the frame timbers before attaching the ceiling planking? Thank you for the update

I still have about 15 frames to construct. I am cutting out the patterns to glue on the wood. I still need to cut a couple of additional pieces of board to do this. I have started attaching frames to the keels! As this is the first time that I have constructed a build in this manner the going will be slow. I always have that fear that there will not be enough wood when I start fairing out. As you can see, I have done some fairing on the inside and a little on the outside to accommodate the temporary riband I will try taking and posting as many pictures as possible to show this progress.

I used treenails but I suggest that you use copper, see EdT's build of the Niaid on this site or better yet get his books from Seawatch! They will explain all you need to know about nails and iron fittings for your model. Back from Hawaii, have about 12 more frames to finish and then progress should go much faster as I start attaching them to the keel

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
