    Hi Nenad
    I`m dreaming, breathing, eating, living frames, I AM FRAMES !
    There are a lot more still to make, but the first 31 are done.
     
    Hi again to all my visitors, and thank you for your nice likes!
    Today I made the next frames, including the first frames for the boilers. They are a little different to the "normal" frames, and need more work and pieces per part.

    Hi again, and thank you all for your nice likes!
    The last days wrer filled with more frame making, the front frames from No. 110 to 85 are done, and the keels are prepared to that point. I will need even more time for the next frames, a lot of them is still to build..........
     
    Frames 110 to 85

     
    The keels with cut out frameseats
    Cut first the central keel

     
    Then the side keels

     
    Ready done. The cutouts are 1/10th of a mm wider than the frames are. This will allow me to mount the frames easy to the keels.

     
    Regards, thank you for watching and your comments and mybe critics!

    Hi John
    Thank you! Will be a long way to go............
     
     
     
    Hi Popeye
    I saw a similar jig in the building steps report from Bob Hill, but he used a closed jig, I wanted to excluse any mismatch of both sides, so i decided to make an open jig, and turn the frames after glueing one side. That way all the angles are equal.
     
     
    Hi Mark
     
    YES! There are a lot of frames to make, freehand work would not be good enough for that
     
    Hi everyone!
     
    Thank you all for your nice likes and comments again!
     
    Today I made the next frames, No. 110 to 101 are done now, framework still continues. This will be a never ending story

    A Restart?
    NO, just a continuation.............
     
    After a nice weekend I could go on again with the Cairo. I made the first set of frames, but had a smaller mistake with them. I tried to glue them free handed, but they had too large differencies i  their height so I had to dismantle them. For the next try I made a glueing form, now the frames are all at the same height.

    'Positively final farewell appearance!' So the old theatre posters read. And this is true for the Greenwich Hospital barge. The sub-base has been made and finished, and so is this log. My profound thanks to all who looked in, 'liked' and commented. You are a great world-wide network of craftspeople with whom I am proud to be associated. Happy model-making!
     
    Serious enquiries of interest only for acquiring this model are invited.

    Gerhard, I use Illustrator, regular program from Adobe family.
     
    Same results you can get with Corel, CAD or any other drawing program in which you can put pdf jpg bmp etc etc raster image in one layer, and draw and edit vector drawings over - in another layers
     
    Long ago I found on internet ... hmmm... scaned C-plans, pretty blured, saved as *.pdf files, imported them to Adobe acrobat, enlarged them to my scale, and have got more blur and distorsion...
     
    So, I am, on some way, forced to make my own working drawings

    during checking out  the run of the shrouds and backstays with preliminary sewing thread, I just noticed that there should be 6 turnbuckle screws (instead of 5) on each side, so warm up the blackening acid once again....

    Looking good Elijah.  You could also remove the bulwarks this will make it easier to carve the deck Then rebuild the bulkhead with stantions notched in the hull.  At the next meeting talk to Bob Filipowski who has done it many times.

    Thanks for all the compliments guys, much appreciated! I have been cleaning up my workspace in preparation for new stages in my build. My workshop feels 4 times bigger ! Back to the ship!

    Until next time!
    P.s. The second hull is lent to me so I can get an idea as to how my ship should look.

    Do you dream frames?
     
    During coopering, when I first draw, make "rivets", cut and glue over 4000 pieces, I meet a pain itself.
     
    Again, when making planking strips for decks
     
    Your work is more delicate, and at the same time, much harder, demanding much more patience
     
    How more to go?

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.
