Rustyj got a reaction from FrankWouts in Sloop Speedwell 1752 by Rustyj - Syren Ship Model Company - 1:32 Scale - POF Sloop
I had mentioned earlier I had a medical issue that needed to be addressed. I met with the doctor and the
good news is I've been given a clean bill of health.
The bad news is I've been given a clean bill of health and have to return to work! 🤣
Work will slow considerably now. 😢
And the adventure continues,
I've now set 7 "tall" frames and 4 "short" frames. I've also added 2 sweep ports and 2 gun port sills on each side.
I used the supplied template to ensure that the spacing and height is correct.
As Mike mentioned earlier toothpicks were used on the jig for minor adjustments to fine tune the frame spacing.
My plan is to now add all the forward tall and short frames. I'll then use the template to adjust them to their correct position.
Once I confirm they are placed correctly, I'll start adding the sweep port blanks and the gun port sills.

I'm continuing to raise some frames while cleaning and assembling other frames.
Here are five "tall frames in place with the two "short" frames waiting their turn.
You'll notice the blocks for the sweep ports there too.
The two short frames have now been added and the sweep port blocks have been roughly shaped. More fine tuning is needed.
I'm also checking the frame locations with the supplied templates and my height gauge to check the sweep port and gun port locations.

No not really. From the laser cutting there is a very small, raised area in the notch.
I just lightly sanded it with a fine file to smooth it out.

Thanks Glenn, Just 41 more of the full frames!
As I set a frame on the keel I continue to assemble other frames. I was going to assemble all the frames first, but this way breaks it up a little. Plus, it's nice to see some frames in place.
You will see uneven application of poly on the frame outboard and inboard sides of the frames. I didn't worry about that as they will all be sanded a lot as I fair the model.
Ok now just 39 more full frames to go!

Upper bulwark planking
With the hull planking completed I decided to hold off on the wales and do some upper bulwark planking.
I made the hance pieces in three layers rather than two. I might have gotten away with two but it would have been close regarding width. I added the first two upper bulwark planks at the forecastle. Around the area of the bowsprit there is a tight 3/4" radius. Those 3/32" cedar caps are just sitting on top of the shear to give you an idea of what they would look like once I add them.

Rustyj reacted to chris watton in Chris Watton and Vanguard Models news and updates Volume 2
The figure set is being reworked, so should have an update within the next few days.
In the meantime, I am busy producing Harpy fittings, laser cutting kits parts for orders and still working on Harpy CAD drawings in between everything else.
We have now become so busy that my wife will be working full time for Vanguard Models from September, as it is neither fair or untenable for her to have a full time day job, and then to come home and work again until late putting kits together. My accountant confirmed the validity of this today.
Our house is up for sale, as we need a larger premises, but no bites as yet, dammit....
