Kevin Kenny Posted December 21, 2016 Author #62 Posted December 21, 2016 First of all my frame plan ZAZ 4691 A aft does not show a " cast" at the top. My gut feels to follow the book and not the plan in this case? Your comment. I am a bit confused on the frames sent to me via email. Greg Can you see if i have it right There are 11 frames left. I have use the "@" to depict the center. Starting at the back, - 1 aft. floor Spacers -1 fore. crosschock -1B , floor, top timber shifts aft. -1A , crosschock, -@1 fore. Floor, scarf joint Spacers -@ center, crosschock Spacers -@A, floor -A aft., crosschock, maybe cast at the top? -A fore. floor -B aft., crosschock Spacers -B fore., floor KentM and mtaylor 2 Quote

dvm27 Posted December 23, 2016 #67 Posted December 23, 2016 Another wonderful video, Kevin. Looks like adding those sill mortises after the frames are raised is working out for you.

Kevin Kenny Posted January 9, 2017 Author #72 Posted January 9, 2017 Kevin! As always - a huge thank You for a great video ! By the way, a good friend of mine built a Piper in 1:1 scale! In this plane there was my very small contribution... The plane you see in the shop is a 1/3 cub kit from Yellow aircraft. She flys beautifully.. The build was actually started by a friend who got cancer and eventually died and i furfilled a promise to him to complete the build for him. druxey, aviaamator, KentM and 3 others 6 Quote

dvm27 Posted January 16, 2017 #76 Posted January 16, 2017 Congratulations, Kenny, on reaching this milestone. You've done a fantastic job! I hope you won;t be disappointed to know I had to abandon my first effort after a year due to cumulative and rookie errors and even David's first POF model (although it looked pretty damned good to me) had some significant errors.

Look forward to your continuing video series.i have to tell you i have been to the wall a few times and did get discouraged. But i am a stubborn SOB and have spent most of my life dusting myself off and getting back on track. This build is no different. I still have to take out two frames which i will do next week. This group of modelers deserves a clap on the back, because it is a word here and there that kept me going.Keep well.

druxey Posted February 3, 2017 #83 Posted February 3, 2017 An excellent video of advice for folks contemplating a fully framed model. You are a very honest model-maker, Kevin!

tlevine Posted February 3, 2017 #84 Posted February 3, 2017 Excellent video, Kenny. I decided not to sand the tops of the frames initially to prevent them from getting banged up. I still have not sanded down the tops on the side that is to be left unplanked. On the planked side I cut off the timberheads and will install them separately. For me, it would be too difficult to cut the openings in the rail accurately enough if I left them in place. Dan did the same thing with Vulture, I think.

AnobiumPunctatum Posted February 4, 2017 #85 Posted February 4, 2017 Very good video, Kenny. Your hints and -sorry to say- your small inaccuracies are very helpful for me, to avoid the same mistakes. Normally a model maker doesn't like to show these details. But these are the points which will help others.

Kevin Kenny Posted February 4, 2017 Author #86 Posted February 4, 2017 Thanks for all ypur frank comments. The purpose of doing the video was to be instructive and once you admit to one mistake the other 100 are easy to admit to. Just thinking ahead. I have no idea what the figuerhead on the Thorn was. Any though on how i should try to identify the figuer head? Should i just leave it out? Kevin Ryland Craze, dgbot, KentM and 1 other 4 Quote
druxey Posted February 4, 2017 #87 Posted February 4, 2017 It's annoying that the draughtsman didn't draw the carved works! One would be fairly safe with either a standard lion or, perhaps, a classical soldier holding a pointy sword. mtaylor and KentM 2 Quote Be sure to sign up for an epic Nelson/Trafalgar project if you would like to see it made into a TV series http://trafalgar.tv
michael mott Posted February 5, 2017 #88 Posted February 5, 2017 Kevin One of the gems of this video is the sound of the ocean at the end, that's not to take away from the great commentary of your trials and tribulations of the explanations of your building. Kudos to you for your honesty regarding the areas that caused you the most problems.

Your videos have been a joy to watch and I hope you continue them. I really chuckle when I see you building in shorts, barefoot and hear rain in the background. Makes me want to hop on a plane...
