With the build of my control model I started at the end of March. The edges of all frames I've colored black. This will be later a great help by sandig the hull. The glued surface of the cant frames is very small, so I've glued first plywood stripes on the center board. To get the correct alignment the colored 5' marks on the frames and the center board are a great help. First half of frame 0 Six frames have been installed. At this time I've started to glue the filling pieces of polar plywood between the frames. I've used a chess board pattern to avoid the distortion of the frames. Until the mid of April I've installed all frames and filling pieces from the center to the stem on the stem. The next two pictures show the result of the work. It's looking very horrible

Danny, your anchors are looking very beautyful. In my opinion this was not a good choice, because you did not stain anything else on your beautyful model as I remember right. If box was to light, why didn't you use some of your pear for the fluke? But you are the master of your shipyard. So it's your decision.

To check the lines I started to build a half model. For the frames I use 3mm birch plywood, it's for a model in 1/32 perhaps a little small, but I've had a bigger batch at home. All space between the frames I fill with poplar plywood. It's easy to shape but stable enough for the purpose. I glue the drawngs with rubber cement on the ply woord With a sharp knife I mark every 5' line. The picture shows frame 0: All bulkheades and the center are cutted out. The hull has a length of around 1m, which is not as big compared with the new 1/200 model kits of the WWII battle ships.

Part 1 Reconstruction of the hull lines David Antscherl wrote in his wonderful series about th Swan Class Sloop, that there are a lot of smaller differences between the ships of the class, for example the knee of the head of Fly. As first decision for my new start I decided not to use the general lines, which David has published. I want to do my own reconstruction. The naval cutter was a first exercise for this project. In January I started with the reconstruction. At the end of February I had a first version of my body plan, which matchs the lines of the historical drawing very well.

The Swan Class Sloop and I have as some of you know a longer history. Two years ago I started my build log for the build in 1/48. A few month later I had to stop the build because I got some problems with my eyes. At the beginning of this year I started again. I decided to change the scale of my build to 1/32. I hope that some of you are intersted in my build and like to follow my log. So let's start again

Moin Karl, I wish you luck with your new project and will follow your build with great interest. Are the new frameing set of Ancre the money worth? -
Very interesting construction method. If you paint the outside of the frames black before you glue in the filler pieces, you will have a very good reference line for shapeing the hull.

Really wonderful drawings, Alan. I love the 3D views. Which software do you use for your drawings?
-
Really nice progress, Dan. It looks so easy, if you work on this parts. But I know it is not easy. This is a really nice model of it's own. Do you plan also to build the pinnace?

Welcome to the Triton shipyard.

Don't hurry, model builders have normally a lot of patience.

Thanks for your opinion. I will check this detail also with the other Sheer and Profile plan.
-
Mike, thanks for your interest, but I don't have an update for my log in the moment. I didn't found the right arrangement for the cant frames until now. I found another sheer and profile plan in an Danish archive, which I have to study. If I found a possible solution for the cants I'll update the log. in the moment I work on my second project HMS Fly 1/32.

Really nice model. I took the time to have a look in your other logs. Really intersting,I didn't know Herreshoff before.
