The color of the stain you used, is looking really nice. Sorry to read about your problems with the hull shape. I hope you can solve the problem

It's a shame, that you planked the hull on both sides. So nobody will see your really nice frameing job. Wonderful build -
It's interesting to see how many of you speaks German.

Aldo, I've a question to the position of your bulkheads. Why don't you use the station lines of the original drawing? You get the hull form from the body plan and can direct start with your build?
-
I second Jürgen's wishes.
-
The frieze looks really good. Wow, I am really impressed. That's exactly the appearance I like to get for my both models
-
Es, which kind of timber do you use for the planking? I can only second the comments the other users give, absolut mervelous build.

Jürgen, wouldn't it be easier to plank one side of the model and let the other perhaps until the whales unplanked?
-
Jürgen, why do you install ribbands and plank the side?
-
Toni, if I would follow the Marshall paintings, Alert has a frieze and a stern painting. But I will build my model with open sides, so I don#t know if I schould paint some frieze.
-
Thanks for the description, Toni. If I come back to my HMS Fly, I will have the same problem with painting the friezes.

@Mike thanks for looking in. I use Autocad for the drawings. @Nils the frames are perpendicular to the keel and have an angle to the waterline. Have a look at the NMM drawings of Cheerful 1806, Racer 1809 or one of the 1818 cutters. All drawings show this frame arrangement.
-
Really nice progress, Lee. Your build log is a big motivation, to work on the drawings for my build.
-
The design of the parallel frames is finished. I tried to follow the original drawing as close as possible without one change. If you have a closer look at the gun port position of the original drawing you will see a pencil note, which indicates that there was added a 5th deadeye, which is not common for cutters. I did not know any other cutter drawing with more than 4 deadeyes. So I decided that I like to show this update of the original design - the Marshall drawing also shows 5 deadeyes. For this change I modified the gun port position and the top timber heads in this area. My biggest problem during the design was, that the gun ports and top timber heads did not match the position of the double frames. I could not solve this problem with using another design, so I decided to shift the futtocks as I've seen in some contemporary drawings. If you compare this design with the known design of the Aots-book (I don't like adding a scan to avoid problems with Copyright issues) you will see that this design is much more rugged. The gunports ar not put on top of the framing as Goodwin did. I don't know but I hope that it's a little bit closer to the original framing. If you think that I can optimize the position of some frames, please let me know. Next I start with the fore cant frames.

Thanks very much for your reply, Druxey. I will follow your advice and finish option 1. You confirmed what my gut instinct said.
