Well, congratulations, Chuck. Another new venture for you! Are you ready for your close-up? -
Best wishes for a brilliant result, Keith.

There are two single frames. the 'dead flat' and 'dead flat 1'. Both are, in fact, dead flat, but the labelling distinguishes them, as well as the fact that the joints are staggered one from another. So, the 'dead flat' starts with a pair of first futtocks and the 'dead flat 1' with a floor, as shown in the framing elevation. There should be a pattern for 'dead flat' as well as 'dead flat 1' which you've posted above.

Congratulations on a fine model - and case. The repainted counter looks great. I like your solution to the many rigols at that scale. Well done!
-
That is the sheer line, as opposed to the toptimber line.
-
I can't tell which line you are referring to, Allan. Can you add an arrow or something, please?
-
An extremely respectable first model! You should be proud. Well done.

I think that the fish hook would be around the lower end of the shank of the anchor rather than at the fluke as you have it, Phil. Otherwise, that looks very nicely done.

Very nice framing work! -
Ouch! I had not read the description of that particular chuck in detail. I would shy away from plastic as well!

Here is one source: https://www.chippingaway.com/shop/miniature-tools-wood-working/proxxon-bench-top-power-tools/proxxon-micro-woodturning-lathe/4-jaw-chuck/ There are others if you search the Internet.

I've yet to regret a redo.

When you get to that stage, don't forget to run a couple of 'proof diagonals' to check that all fairs out!

Yes, you are correct: they are a form of sweep port. Stowage of sweeps is an interesting question. They could be racked vertically around a mast, although with the rig in this case that would not work. Perhaps bundled along the bulwark tops inside the shrouds? Sweep length as to such that the leverage is reasonable and the angle to enter the water is not too great. Therefore the inboard length cannot be too short as you suggest. One wonders if sweeps were only used in extreme circumstances!
-
That's too bad. Richard. Looks like it's been an interesting project so far.
-
Just spotted Henry's work. Brilliant stuff!
-
I think Bob said and covered it all!
-
Insguss? That would be an inlet.
-
They should be compatible. However, the drying (polymerization) time may be quite lengthy. Try on scrap first!
-
You are doing a great job on this challenging build, Steve.
-
Coming along nicely, Alan!
