thanks Christian, I had studied those sources you mentioned, thats why I came to ask. I learn that the Frames of 18th century cutters have an angle to the waterline. Nils Druxey, that was a new one to me, thanks for your Kind Explaination, learnt something new again....., Up to your anwer I always thought that the lines, Ratings (lengths, beams, Frame-contour measurements (outside plank), etc were taken from an earlier built quite simular ship type, the ship laying on flat keel in a dock or so. to document the outer Skin shape. The waterlines, Frame positions over the length were then put to the well experienced shipwrights desire horizontal and vertical to suit the best possible rigidness of the construct. I see now that this is a wrong speculation I was following Nils

Hello Christian, your Cutter "Alert" Project is very inspiring and I follow with great interest I have a question though,....... the construction waterline (upper green line) in the enclosed Picture is not shown horizontal, well that is not the Problem, but if it were horizontal, the Frames would not be perpentdicular to the waterline, so to say in the normal Floating Position of the ship. Does this mean that the actual ship has all Frames at an angle to the waterline, whereby the Frames are rather perpendicular to the keel ? The keel of course is at an angle, due to the deeper draft at the stern Normaly I construct models with the Frames perpendicular to the waterline and regardless to the keel-line Nils

love your ship Mark, its so beautiful and accurately built, a pleasure to see.... Nils

Looks great Remco, compensation for the two lower gudgeons (lack of planking) very nice deal... Nils

Thank you Michael, yes, sometimes I get lost in Details, probably the Advantage of scratch build, because I can do many things as they are created in my mind, although many is not yet mounted due to the Access to belaying Points whilst the rigging Nils Thank you Popeye, it is also my Intension to find a place where it can be seen from both sides when finaly completed. Relating to the "CUX" I ca`nt tell when it will go on, she`s still sitting on the shelf, and I have to be in the mood to groove myself in for carrying on. The "Bohuslän" was also sitting idle for many years collecting dust, until one day I was in the mood again, and that lasted to complete the model. Nils

great device Bob, thanks for sharing... Nils
-
thanks to both Bob and Bob, well appreciated comments..... It may take a Little time for the next updates, I have so much other things on my "to do list" in the moment Nils
-
beautiful machining Work Michael, those Videos are great, ans also that reversing gear works fantastic, well done! Nils

little update...... going on with the main yard....., stirups, horses, brace pendants and truss tackles still to be attached. I thought it would be easier to attach the main course to the yard, and then to hang it it place with the main jeers, sling and truss tackle, and let myself be surprised if it works or not. Would probably need to attach some ratlines on the lee-side shrouds, because I`m going to the sails in braced mode. Nils Again a hand scetch is made first block attached in different sizes lengths of stirups and position of horses checked, (here figure standing on the wrong side of the dummy yard ) thats a working ship...... no yacht, chainpump levers with supports go on after the main gallow support is fitted quarter deck with view down inside likewise at forecastle and waist deck

Doris, your Kind comment is highly appreciated, I also very much like and admire your builds, whereby it seems not the question of material (Card, Wood, plastic), whatever model you lay your Hands on, it bears that unmistakeable special "Doris touch of art". Every time I browse one of your logs I love to see those period dressed and painted lovely figures, of which I so much wish I could do something alike Wish you much success with your Job and a wonderful enthusiastic ship modeling year Nils

amazing fine surface Dimitris, I presume you were using a very fine structured glass roving web, with probably epoxy resin, which allows to a certain degree "3D flow" without throwing wrinkels. The Advantage of that method is the resulting fine , even surface structure and with limiting the resin amount you can avoid time consuming sanding afterwards. In this way your hull gets a wonderful tight and rigid baseground for further applications of whatever you desire.... smart and well done ! Nils

Pete, I remember the first one was fantastic already. are you planing any alternative changes for #2 ? Nils
