It's a conundrum: either you cut the port openings as you go on a somewhat unstable framework or complete framing first, install longitudinals and then have a solid hull to cut into. Of corse, it's with tighter elbow room! A third alternative is assemble all the frames temporarily, mark the line of ports, then disassemble to do the cutting before permanently re-assembling.

I believe WOP is the acronym for 'Wipe-On Poly(urethane)', Wefalck. -

Looking good. After you've done a few hulls, it will be much easier! The first time is the toughest.

Great progress, Frank. I can imagine the awkwardness of planking that bulkhead in situ. And the language that accompanied it!

As usual, you live fully up to our high expectations of you! Lovely work.

With all due respect to lehmann, many years ago I used the method I described on a model for my daughter. It worked fine. Of course, if the ply is too thick, it's another matter, but I don't think kit maker supply wood any thicker than they need to!

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
