It's a treat for me to see the ship built at this scale. The stern geometry looks great!

The measures all add up.
I just have to make a few small adjustments.
I was particularly afraid of this part of the construction, which was not at all simple!

some small steps forward:

The wing transom knees:

The sleepers:

The counter timbers:

great job, Albert!!!

Museum model! Very impressive!

simply wonderful and perfect work!

Great!!

Some small progress on the starboard side:

The main wales:

what a wonderful model!!

Limber boards and main mast step:

I reinforced the frames that tended to detach in the upper part:

The stemson:

the keelson:

The limber strakes:

first roughing:

after some time I have completed the laying of all the frames:

a few more frames:

I placed a few more frames. In this type of carpentry to be able to set up a frame it takes a lot of time!
To give the structure more solidity, I thought of using some steel nails placed transversely at the base of the frames:

and with this, I think I have finished the decorations of this elegant corvette!

the figurehead:

I don't understand:  Why??

While waiting for inspiration, the two mascon decorations remained pending; I decided that it was time to complete them and to make the figurehead as well.

I started square frames. These constructions take a long time, each one is different from the other, each component has a different thickness, in short, a real challenge!

I have finished the installation of the cant frames.
I hope I have interpreted well the shape of the rising wood !

Thanks Greg!
I treasure your suggestion!

Thank you, Allan and Glenn, and for all your likes!

The work seems to be going well, even for all the measurements that I look at at least three times before operating ....
I have finished the arrangement of the fore cant frames. The arrangement of the fore cant frame n. 11 is very particular because it has a cast timber:

sills:

I continue with the fore cant frames:

and aft cant frames:

If you don't screw up at least one of those mortises over the course of framing the hull...I'm going to hate you. Getting a fair line was the most challenging part of the build for me.

I am undecided whether to continue in this way, as David also suggests in his book, or open the gunboats after fixing all the frames. I wanted to try with the ventilation door .....
