Very Basic Bulkhead alignment question


Recommended Posts

I have a very basic question so that I don't stuff up before I've barely started. 

 

I'm building the US Constellation from Artwsania. 

I know my bulkhead peices need to be at right angles, but should I be lining them up at the top or the bottom? 

 

I have started lining them up at the top, but the bottoms don't line up, is this normal?

Hi Teetree.

Simply put - especially for me - The bottoms don't line up because of the way the hull is designed, you'll see this in the pictures.  The tops line up decause that's where the deck lies. I completely messed up my first attempt 40 years ago and gave up until recently - no internet for help back then!

Have a read of these tutorials Hull and Planking Lots of info there.

[Also I would suggest starting a build log in the 1751 - 1800 area.  Loads of help and advice to be gained by that.

Read this on how to name your log too! Naming your log]

Edit - see you've already done this!
