Your ability to line up and cut the recesses for the carlins is so accurate and is excellent. Can you describe the process. Kevin -
Nice clean work

Challenging to get the end pieces to bend perfectly. I pre bent the pieces off the model then I had to make up a push jig to hold the end into the stern. It worked thank goodness.

Thats what i figured. I used this system with the first set of planking. I did not feel that it mattered with strake 1-5. But fair enough. Ill do it for the last two bands

What do you mean by tick strip. Is this a piece of sticky paper laid against the frames?
-
Looking great

Too much traveling. 25 days in NY. Then back to Tobago for a wedding. Ill finish strake 5 tomorrow and then start closing up the last two bands.

Just returned from my New York trip. No modeling for some time now but lots of great additions to the shop.

I just got on try typing “ ship ahoy model “ in google kevin -

Allan. I do not think it would matter which you do first.
-
Alan if you want to get a good finish you will need to place some temporary strakes inside the model. Use PVA which you can easily remove with 90% alcohol when you are finished and you will never know you put them there. The problem with sanding at this point is that there is too much movement in the frames. The temporary strakes solve this problem. When you are happy with the outside you reverse the process and temporary plank the outside and sand the inside. kevin

On another note Greg there seems to be some question on the use of bronze sheaves or wooden ones. The book seems to indicate that in some cases bronze was used.?
-
Its an interesting response as in the Swan practium a number of the sheaves a number of the blocks contain Bronze sheaves.

I have been using a slight bevel to get a nice tight fit in some cases. In one case it resulted in my having to remake the piece 4 times. I do try to get the fit correct before using the bevel.
