I think I got the bulkheads straight and perpendicular . Here are the photos. I added balsa fillers at the stern and bow that are dry fitted. Should I add more fillers? I got the height by making the tall bulkhead frame flush and then leveled the other tall piece with that

Thanks cdogg, I have been reading your build log and I see it will a lot as I go along I happen to figure out quickly that my file set came in very handy to fit the bulkheads on the former. The pictures show them loose after filing so they are not yet perpindicular. I hope I did not make them too loose but I think glueing will take care of it.

Attached are pictures of the framing they are not yet glued I have a question about the height of the frames. I am assuming that the height of most of them should be even with the keel. However, the 2 that are higher, how do I determine their height? I am using the Fair-a-frame building jig the square the frames. However, the keel is too small and narrow to fit. Is this a good building jig to use. How do I fit the keel on the stand if it too narrow? Also the frames when fitted are too too long to fit using the frame, what do I do?

Hi everyone, I have decided to start my model shipbuilding life with this Baltic ship model. I have no previous experience in any modeling but want to use this ship to work on my building skills ANY AND ALL HELP would be appreciated. I have been reading the blogs on this website and followed a few build logs. I hope all of you will not be bored with some of my basic questions . I will probably look ill informed (which I am) and may not use proper terminology so please help me with that. I will follow this up with my first pictures as I am trying to fit the frames on the keel. Thanks for your help
