1/32 is the same scale as mine. As far a amount of wood needed, I had a friend give me a pile of cherry. I just resawed, planed and sanded as I need. So I don't really have a good list for amounts. Looking forward to more. -
yep, just a little south from you Something happen to them and with work I have not had the time to get them reloaded, hoping to get to it soon.

Looking forward to seeing your build

I have not gotten to that stage yet, but have been thinking about it, I am waiting till have more deck clamps and wales installed for just the reason you have stated. Do which ever you are comfortable with.

Dave, That is the way I set my frames on cross section build, using spacers and a right angle frame. Works out great....Good Luck
-
put the filters on the suction side of the fan and draw the air through them. That is what I do when sanding and seems to work pretty good. I just use a cheap window box fan.

After thinking about at work last night, you could make a template from some stiff paper(card) and get the desired taper by sanding and fitting, much the same way some people do on a solid hull...just a thought
-
Love the way you done the base. Very well done on the build, and your log will come in so handy for future builders....and myself....on the triton.

As far as getting the taper, no trick that I know of just checking while sanding by eye. The futtock...treenail or simulated bolts? Comes down to how you want to do it yourself. Either way would look good and with yours being such a big scale the simulated bolts would look really nice, be much easier at this scale, but your choice.

If those frames are still in the rough with no fairing (sanding) yet...you have done an excellent job. From the looks there will be minimal sanding required. Great Job

Beautiful work on the cross section and a nice build log. A model to be proud of.
-
Glad I could be of some little help, your build log is coming along great, looking forward to more.

Jim Byrnes Thickness Sander
Pete38 replied to Landlocked123's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
The hose I had was just a little small for the one in the thickness sander, I just wrapped some electrical tape around the hose for a snug fit. Works great and is alway easily removed or put baclk on.
