Antony, thanks for searching. If I don't find another solution I will build this part with basswood first and than look how I can anrrange the frames. My frame design is stylized so I have different options. But I hope that one of the more experiencend modeler can help.

Hallo Lee, welcome on board. I am also working on a model of this small cutter. Have a look in my signature, there you find a link to my build or in the moment better drawing log. Have a look at page 4 to find my Interpretation of the keel, deadwood and so on. Perhaps it's helpful

It's time to show a short update of the frameing. The frames and the fore cant frames are finished. In the moment I work on the after cants. There I have a big problem, because I don't understand how the construction really works. All drawings I found do not show any details. Is it right, that the fashion piece has the same angle as the last cant frame? Perhaps someone can help me out, to understand this detail right.

Normally oil color will harden in a week or two

Really nice progress, Jürgen. As you know, I am a great freind of oil colors for painting the wale black.

Mobbsie, now it's clear, but I don't have any idea why the author of the drawings choose this solution. It is in my knowledge not common. I've had a short look at the prototype build of Mike at MSB, but could not find a picture of this area. I would suggest to build frame 12 and check if it is on top of the rabbet ot your model.

Wow, your model becomes nicer and nicer. I like your precise work very much.
-
Mobbsie, thanks for your explanation. But I can't follow you. If I have a look at the original drawing at the NMM (see here) the rabbet doesn't have a curved line. You're sure that you do not misinterpret a line on your drawing?

Thanks very much for your offer Anthony. Surely you can post them, if you like. Is it possible to save the drawings in DXF-Format? This will make things much easier.
-
Slowly, in the moment I am drawing all frames. The parallel frames will be finished this evening, then I start drawing the 21 cant frames.
-
Ben, really nice progress.
-
I think you have a nw hobby, Jürgen. Sanding, sanding
-
Mobbsie, the curve of your keel rabbet confuses me. I thought that it is nearly a straight line midships. Your frame is looking nice.

Welcome to the dark side and a lot of fun with your build

Found your log this morning. Really wonderful. I'll follow your log with great interest

Grant, welcome to the very dark side of model building. I am sure you will have a lot of fun with your build. So you never find back the way to the other side

looks really good, Kevin

Congrats for reaching this milestone, Jürgen. Your hull looks really impressive. I am nosey to see your hull when we meet next year .

Thank you for posting this part of the Cheerful drawing, Chuck. This detail was not to identify on the small picture I have. You confuse me. The Alert is from 1777 and I thought that the Cheerful is from 1806.
-
Here is the modified drawing.
-
Thank you, Druxey. I will follow your advice and modify my drawing. Your input is the reason, why I post my drawing, because I am sure that there are things which can be done better. And so I am very happy that you show me possible improvements,
-
Thanks for the hints, Druxey. I found this solution for the stem joints at a contemporary drawings of HMS Cheerful, 1806. Do you think that the drawing has there a mistake? I will change the numbers of joints at the keel.
-
My new keel drawing is finished. Next I will draw the frames and build the new bigger version of my keel
