First frames are cleaned up and sanded...
I have started with frames 20 and 21 to get a feeling for the numerous steps on the frames as the center frames are not subject to any bevelling.
The employment of electric rotating tools is very limited at this stage and can only be used on the frames inner side. All the steps must be sanded with needle files and small sanding sticks.
34 more full frames to go, this will keep me busy for a while

Building cradle completed....
All joints has been brushed up with wood glue, reinforcement pieces are installed on some edges on where I thought it will appropriate to stiffen the parts.
As the instruction manual 2 instructs a conversion of the building cradle after the hull planking is completed, I made the top of the building cradle removable from the base plate to ease the modification.
Now, since all full frames 4 to 36 are glued up and waiting for sanding and beveling, the real fun starts.

I have send an message to CAFmodel, Tom concerning the missing Parts E1 and E2.
He replied right away with the information that he will send out the pieces immediately.
That's what I'am calling a outstanding customer service........
The construction of the building cradle will be suspended until arrival of the pieces.
Construction of the frames has been started with the first full frame number 4.
In the first step of cleaning up and sanding the frames I have used my disc sander to sand the pieces front and end smooth.
Afterwards the individual pieces are properly aligned over the drawing and clued together.
For sure it will provide a lot of fun to clean up the laser char and sanding all the clinker planking teeth into shape on all the frames.

Seems that I'am one of the first who opens a buildlog of the CAF Le Coureur kit..
Unlike other buildlogs I will not start with a extensive kit review since this can be seen in other threads, like the one from CAF
My kit has been arrived after 6 days from the reception of the shipping notification to door delivery, very fast!
The kit was very well packed to ensure a safe transport.
Before the construction starts, here are a few thoughts as per today about my intentions on how to show the model.
I will try to display the Coureur as she appeared in 1776, just before the capture of the English navy.
For reference I will follow the Ancre monograph.
I want to show as much interieur as possible without neglecting too many details like masts, rigging and deck furniture. How this task turns out in detail will be determined throughout the construction as it progresses.
