augie Posted October 14, 2013 Author #391 Posted October 14, 2013 Thanks gents! I enjoy framing......it's all the rest of the stuff I stink at. Lots of carpentry left on this lady I keep thinking of Ben's log where he gets out to something like page 75 and discovers he's 1/264 " short somewhere and saws off the stern with a circular saw for a total do-over. I don't have that saw :D JPett 1 Quote Augie Current Build: US Frigate Confederacy - MS 1:64 Previous Builds : US Brig Syren (MS) - 2013 (see Completed Ship Gallery) Greek Tug Ulises (OcCre) - 2009 (see Completed Ship Gallery) Victory Cross Section (Corel) - 1988 Essex (MS) 1/8"- 1976 Cutty Sark (Revell 1:96) - 1956

patrickmil Posted October 15, 2013 #400 Posted October 15, 2013 Augie, from your framing we can tell that you enjoy. I'm very anxious to see some planking going on this monster. BTW, your Broncos look very tough this year. I'm hoping my Bengals can keep a winning streak for a bit.

augie Posted October 16, 2013 Author #408 Posted October 16, 2013 Adequately psyched by Wes' words of encouragement ( ), we embark on the gun ports. First the Quarter Deck. As mentioned earlier, Chuck provides templates for the gun ports. These are considerately placed on a sheet separate from the rest of the plans so you are not cutting your plans to shreds. The first photo shows the template for the 10 Quarter Deck gun ports in place: As can be seen in the above photo, one bulkhead extension needs to be removed as it falls in the middle of a gun port. This will also occur on the gun deck. This next photo shows the fine-tooth Exacto saw blade I used for this as well as the pencil marks delineating the upright positions as transferred from the template: This last photo shows the quarter deck gun ports completed and faired, as well as the template for the starboard side gun deck gun ports now in place. Several things worth mentioning....... The gun ports are not meant to be squares at this point. They are slightly wider than high. This is true of the ports for both the 6 and 12 pounders. Also, the lintel or rail above the quarter deck gun ports is only temporary and will be removed once (as) the bulkwark planking moves up the hull. A formal cap rail will be fitted at that point: With 28 gun ports to complete on the gun deck as the next step, everyone gets a few days off without having to listen to me (try to keep the cheers at a minimum). I am almost caught up with PAGE ONE of Ben's log :D . Everyone stay well Script, realworkingsailor, lambsbk and 16 others 19 Quote Augie Current Build: US Frigate Confederacy - MS 1:64 Previous Builds : US Brig Syren (MS) - 2013 (see Completed Ship Gallery) Greek Tug Ulises (OcCre) - 2009 (see Completed Ship Gallery) Victory Cross Section (Corel) - 1988 Essex (MS) 1/8"- 1976 Cutty Sark (Revell 1:96) - 1956
