Thanks Guys, Druxey - I'm going to spend some time completing fairing the inside of the hull, then align all the toptimbers and get them all to correct height, then remove all of the temp basswood spacers and install new pear ones, that's a good few weeks work for me as I spend a lot of time traveling for work these days, that's the plan anyway.

Very nice Grant, as you said - take your time glueing the frames and triple check positions and your gunport heights as you go. Look forward to seeing more Ben

Ha, nice to see you deviate from the norm and start using that lathe, to great effect I may add, those gauges look great. Ben

Hey Druxey, At the moment I am just laying in store and I havent totally decided yet, as you know I have been working in CAD on my own plans of Indefatigable but they are still a long way from completion, Maybe a different Frigate before tackling the Indy. Sorry Remco ben

Thanks everyone and the likes. The 7 frames to go are only the square frames remaining, there is still a lot of work around the stern framing to be done and then all of the fairing and clean up work before the milestone is passed. Greg - I still don't have a finalized idea of how much planking will be done on exterior, I can say for certain that I won't be covering up much of the framing that I have worked so long to make, but still undecided.

Looks like you have found a method for Chock making and fitting that works well for you. It took me a couple of different ways before I found one that I was comfortable with and gave good results. Looking really good Grant. Ben

Received a copy of this beautiful book as a Christmas present from the Admiral, spent a few days reading and my compliments to David for yet another fine read. As said before it doesn't reitterate TFFM but it does build on and give more info and insights on building RN ships of that era, especially interesting is a breakdown of building quarter galleries which is an art of itself. I have placed on the bookshelf right next to my copies of TFFM. Wish mine was signed by the author as well. Ben

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.
