giampieroricci Posted August 13, 2021 Author Share #31 Posted August 13, 2021 I placed a few more frames. In this type of carpentry to be able to set up a frame it takes a lot of time! To give the structure more solidity, I thought of using some steel nails placed transversely at the base of the frames: allanyed, Jorge Diaz O, mtaylor and 19 others 20 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
druxey Posted August 13, 2021 Share #32 Posted August 13, 2021 Lovely progress. I'd be hesitant to use steel or any ferrous metal in a model as it may corrode. Brass rod might be a better idea. giampieroricci, FrankWouts, mtaylor and 2 others 5 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dvm27 Posted August 13, 2021 Share #33 Posted August 13, 2021 Sweet work G. You're doing a great job keeping all those sweep and port sills in alignment. I thought of using brass pins to transfix the frames to the keel but with the keelson and temporary blocking they were amazingly rigid during fairing. As well if you plan on installing the fillers between the lower frames this creates additional rigidity.

dvm27 Posted October 7, 2021 Share #39 Posted October 7, 2021 Wonderful work, doesn't appear to need much fairing at all! I see you decided to do the hawse holes at a later point. After ruining a few hawse pieces I opted to cut them in later as well. I note on my 15 year old Swan class model I've had no gaps appear between the filling pieces between the floors of the frames. Perhaps that's because it's in a case in a temperature controlled environment. I did have gaps appear in my current Speedwell model but I think that's because she's been moved frequently to areas of different temperature and humidity. druxey, giampieroricci, Saburo and 4 others 6 1 Quote GregwebsiteAdmiralty Modelsmoderator Echo Cross-section buildAdmiralty Models Cross-section BuildFinished buildPegasus, 1776, cross-sectionCurrent buildSpeedwell, 1752 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

druxey Posted December 7, 2021 Share #54 Posted December 7, 2021 Certainly one of the more tricky parts of construction. Looking good, but make sure you protect those protruding timbers.
