    Fairing of the frames is more or less done inside and out.

    I am using brass wire for the drift bolts.  I though about leaving these out, but I am pretty happy I didn't.  I am going to leave them natural brass color.  This is the back side of the frame, as the drawing is still attached to the front.  The color should pop a bit more as the pear wood darkens over time.

    Now things will slow down with the posts, as I assemble the frames.  I have completed all of the lettered frames as well as the cant frames.

    Next I cut out all of the frame timbers with the scroll saw.  Here are the ones corresponding to the numbered frames.

    Next step was building some fixtures to properly attach the keel to the building board.  I used moveable fixtures to hold the stem and the stern post.  This makes everything removable and should allow me to readily re-use the building board once I cut my Alfred model from its upside down Harold Hahn-style building board.

    Here is the keel mounted on the build board with the brass pins for alignment.

    The next step was assembling the keel.  Unfortunately I didn't take any pictures of the process.  Trust me it is done and here it is.  I cut the slots in the deadwood using a sled on a Proxxon table saw.

    Progress continues much faster than updates.  I haven't given up on this thing.  All framing is now done with the exception of the ports for the sweeps.

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.
