after seeing the hms terror build logs on here especially keith s build i made a start. have always had a fascination with the story of the north west passage and when occre released this it was a must despite the compromises with the kit.
frames glued in place but deck still loose.
also glued in the filling pieces between frames at bow and stern
building slip to help keep the keel straight while planking
don't know when next update will be as Victory taking prio
Daniel,
At such small scales, your method sounds great, thanks for sharing. I have been unable to find any information on the circumference of the reef points other that they are braided (not a good idea at our scales) but they had a length that is twice the circumference of the appropriate yard, and two per cloth, (thus about 12 inches apart.)
