No pictures this weekend. Yesterday I tried to cut the rabbet but I am not really happy with the result. There are two main problems. The keel has over the whole length a curve wgich is quite difficult to cut precise. The second problem is the prepared rising wood with the notches for the frames. At this smaller parts the timber will bunk. So I decided to build another backbone for my small cutter and try the rabbet again. I am thinking of only cutting the loer half of the rabbet at the midshipframes. During fairng the completed hull I am thinking of doing the upper half of the rabbet. Has anyone did a rabbet this way? I hope that the changes I made in my design will help me to get a better result. If not, I will decide which of the finished keels looks better and use this for the rest of my build.

Really wonderful, Dan

Really wonderful, Robert

Mark, I wish yo a lot of fun with your beast. I'll follow your log with great interest.

Welcome on board, Have a lot of fun with your build

Welcome on board. And much fun with your section build
-
It's looking really good
-
Realy wonderful. I like the combination of your timber colors

Very sorry to hear this. Your log was a great inspiration and helpd me a lot in the last year to find my way. To much perfectionism is also bad, You will never be satisfied with the result of your build. This was/is my biggest problem. Your log helped me to come out of this spiral and I found the fun on building a ship model. Thanks for this.

I really know what you mean. i had these problem the last few years.

Looks very intersting. Perhaps you can post some pictures how it works. -
Joe, Bugra, Tony, Gregor, Dirk, Jay, Alan, thanks for your nice comments and all others for looking in.
-
I'll follow your log. I like those small boats.
-
Wow, that looks great. Perhaps I should also let one side open and show the frames. Another hint for my build book

My holidays are over so the progress is much slower than before. I did the keelson before building the frames. So it is in my opinion much easier to adjust it with the fore and after deadwood. Before glueing the keelson on the backbone It take a long time. All frames have to be installed first. Today I worked on my first frame. It took quite long to find my way to build the frame. The result is not perfect, but I think doing the next frames will be much easier and faster. If it's interesting for someone I will do a step by step description from building one of the next frames.

Wow, your side gallery is looking great.

Evan Thanks very much. I've stopped the project for the moment. I had to admit, that the project is to big and difficult for the moment. IPOF is the kind of ship modelling I like to do but I need to much trys for every part. So I decided to do a much smaller ship (Naval cutter Alert) first and learn the necessary steps. Then I will go back to my HMS Fly project.. I have the Constitution also in my kit stack and if I decide to give her a try, your log is very very good reference for me.

Really wonderful. I have to see, which kind of stove has my HMS Fly.

@all Thanks for your interest. @Greg I know the log of Mr. Cole. His frameing job in the small scale (1/64) is really impressive. I took the idea for fixing the keel on the building board from his log.

After the drawing works it was time to make sawdust. First part is the keel, which is a little bit tricky. The keel has a light curvature and the joints are perpendicular to the base line. I cut some small stripes with my cirular saw, make the joints and glue the parts together. Next I added the parts for the stem. The picture shows the step on the building board. I use Tamiya Tape to avoid that the keel glues on the paper during the build. The next pictures show the complete assembled backbone for the small vessel, the stem with with the changed layout of the parts, the keel and the rising wood, and the stern post with the after deadwood. The next steps are cutting the rabbet, the keelson and the building board. Then I can start with the frames.

Have a look at the model I found on two German modelling forums modellboard.net and Wettringer-Modellbauforum .

Happy birthday, Rusty
