    Hi Anna. Welcome to MSW

    I'm back at the workbench after a short holiday break. I glued the aft 10 frames to the keel after some prep work and a few dry runs. I went ahead and applied the glue and after several terrifying moments of manipulating and adjusting the frames everything settled into place. I used the front most frame to help me align the keel squarely to the frames. Now I move onto the front frames.

    Hi all. Just a quick update and a question. I've built all the frames and dry fit everything together. I put the packing tape on the frames for support also. You may notice that I haven't attached the transom yet. I'm going to glue it on while everything is dry fit together on the build board. I thought it would be easier to get it properly aligned and perpendicular to the hull. My question is on the small strip of wood at the top of the frames. Is this added to all frames?

    Alright, finally got the keel finished. I just pretty much followed along with the instructions. I installed the simulated bolts and sanded off the laser char. After that, I ended up gluing the two inner keel pieces together first and then glued them to the keel. I made sure I had a nice flat surface and aligned the bottom edges along a angle block. It worked out nice. No adjustments were needed for the inner keel pieces, everything fit perfectly, no wiggle room on either end. I used the little 1/32 jigs as seen in other build logs to make sure I had the 1/32 rabbet. I gave it a coat of wipe-on poly and on to the next step.

    I like the unpainted bulkhead too, gives it some nice contrast.

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.
