    Thanks chaps.
    I have now completed and faired all frames between the master frame and the tail frames. They have now to be fixed to the keel . Note the card strips maintaining the space between frames. After this ribbands will be attached to the hull to properly align the frames. Only then can the bow and stern framing be made based on the ribbands.

    woodrat reacted to Baker in Golden Hind (ex-Pelican) by Baker - FINISHED - scale 1/45 - Galleon late 16th century   
    Hello
    Have not started building again. But I did start thinking about the next step. The places where the deadeyes and schrouds are attached.
    I do not know the correct English name, but in some logs they are called "chains". Strange "chain"  means something very different for me in the English language??
     
    Looking through my documentation there are several possibilities.
    A simple method as on the Vasa ship (early 17th century) and also applied to most Golden Hind scale models. And, an older method where multiple vertical support beams are used.
    The second method seems better for this time (about 1570-1580). She can also be seen on drawings by Mathew Baker. So it becomes the second method.


     
    Biggest question: how wide were these things? I find narrow and wide versions in my documentation.


    So first i test how wide they should be on my model, to get no problems later with the schrouds who can come against the hull.
    Somewhere in a log I saw this method. Ideal if you work without a plan.

    So we go for the wide version (no other choice) otherwise I will get into trouble later. This makes about 90 cm (3 feet) on a real ship.

    Reasonably wide, but it can explain how they could place barrels here that served as sanitary facilities.

     
    Thank you for following, and hopefully more updates soon.

    Sorry for the lack of progress. I have been away from the shed several weeks. I have completed some mor framing including the step for the mainmast.
    Had to remake some frames which were inaccurate.
    Cheers

    Thanks Ondras and Steven. Just had time to dash off some frames. The jig certainly speeds up the process. just thinking about mediaeval building. The foothooks and top timbers could be premade elsewhere. Only the floors need be individually shaped onsite and even this would have been somewhat automated. This helps explain how the shipwrights of the Arsenale could lay down an entire galley in three or four weeks.
     
    This shows the gradual narrowing of adjacent floors.
