Completing the lining out
This is quite a time consuming process but, as Chuck says, this process will be a good check on the process of planking and is good practice for future projects. It is now complete and as a check I found that it followed Chuck's templates quite well
It might be a while before I start on the planking as my other hobies need to take prcedence for a couple of weeks.

Lining Out the Hull
Perhaps not strictly necessary here but it is an good to practice this important part of the planking exercise. I have started at the stern and here is what it looks like so far:
The distortion in the photograph makes it look as if the planks deviate amidships. They are in fact quite parallel at this point. I also found that some of my tick-marks were a bit out so I will adjust them once I am happy with the lining out.

Frames Attached and Fairing Begins:
The frames are now glued in place
I then commenced with fairing the frames. These frames are very delicate (1/16") compared to ships that I have builtin the past so I was a bit tentative. You can see from this photo that I added some balsa blocks between the frames as a safety measure:
However, when I showed this photo to Chuck he advised that I had a way to go and that I needed to keep going until the laser char was removed. So here is where I am at now:

The transom and installation of the frames:
The transom needs to be installed perpendicular to the keel. There is a slot cut into the frame so the "vertical" alignment is accounted for but to ensure it was perpendicular ro the keel I made this simple jigand clamped the trasome otself to this:
Time to install the frames there are two types - two in the bow ( G & H)and three in the stern ( 10 , 11& 12) are flat one piece frames. These are installed onto the baseboard first and the keel dry fitted to these.
The remaining frames are "double" with a floor piece glued to each frame
These frames are the each dry-fitted to the keel and the alignment checked. Each was found to be perpendicular to the baseboard with no adjustment needed
