    I finished all the frames on the stbd side yesterday, next is the port side and then a couple days of sanding. Only a few incidents that have been corrected in the design but overall everything went together well and I’m happy with the results. off to work for 6 weeks so I’ll be writing instructions and modifying cut files until I return to frame the other side and then install the inner post and all the wing transoms Thanks for looking in.

    Thanks guys. The aim is to build a “framed” model without all the massive jigs and tons of expensive wood while utilizing the simplicity of bulkheads for everything above the wales. Keep in mind that with Portland we are building a model of a painting of a model so the frames are all single pieces and simple to install. The contemporary examples below are exactly what I’m looking to achieve with this kit.

    Just a small update. Today I redesigned the cant frames and installed them, I’m pretty happy with the results, although more sanding is required, the initial sanding just revealed it’s not a complete disaster and I can move on lol. now I’ll continue aft towards the stern where the real fun begins.

    Thanks guys. Hopefully have some updates this weekend. Aiming to get the cant frames installed today and start working towards the stern frames.

    Hi All, I haven’t posted any updates in awhile, I’ve moved, had a job change and the whole ball of wax. In that time I’ve made some major modifications to the original design of Portland which includes frames as seen in the painting. I’ve decided to move forward with building that prototype alongside the current POB version of Portland as I plan to offer both versions of the model, one for those who don’t like sanding tons of char and the other for those who don’t like planking. The two models are very similar above the main wales but that’s where it ends. Below the main wale the structure is completely different made up of many more parts. I’m currently testing the framing and the support structure that holds it, results are good so far, I plan to move to the forward frames tomorrow where things get a little more tricky with multiple angles involved. Below you can see the support structure going together along with the test frames. I’ve blacked out the MDF support structure so it will not be seen once the lower frames are all in place, or at least harder to see. I’m currently building the frames out of Swiss pear with the keel, knee and any planking AYC. The deck structure will be the same where the beams are pear and all planking a lighter AYC. more updates to come soon. JJ
