So great work here Bob, crows feet look very good indeed. Ben -
Thanks for all the likes. I thought I'd take practice run at the knee of the head, here is my first attempt, some of the joints are not as tight as I would like so another one will be made. Ben

Glad the sander is getting a work out, I don't know where I'd be without mine. Ben

Hey Grant, This is a common problem when trying to precut ports, the only way round it I found with Druxeys help was that each frame gets temporarily installed making sure it's height is absolutely correct, then marking the positions and then removing it again to cut the sill mouths, and then reinstalling. Take a look at comments in my Pegasus build from Druxey, Greg and Toni when we were discussing how to do this. Good luck mate Ben

That's a beautiful display of modeling Toni. Ben

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.

Well on the 13th month anniversary of the start of the build the final full frame has been installed. Ben

Yep - good looking floor. ben

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

Hey Al, glad you managed to figure out how to upload photos, just email me again if you run into further issues. Looks like your planking is well underway, congrats. 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.
