Wxchsr Posted February 21, 2023 Author Share #32 Posted February 21, 2023 Going great. Back to the point of starting the port framing. It was at that point last time I noticed the issues, I’m not seeing those this time, so the added precision has made all the difference.

FrankWouts Posted February 23, 2023 Share #33 Posted February 23, 2023 That looks like a nice relaxed curve with no bumps or weird tensioned humps following your batten. How does it look from bow to stern looking throughone nearly closed eye? Can you make a picture of that? Does one edge of the batten follow the tick marks exactly and/or is it averaging them? Frank.

Hi frank! sorry I saw this a day late. I removed the batten yesterday after marking the top. I would say it lines up with most. About one out of every 3-4 would be up to a mm high or low, in which case the new mark is what makes it smooth. Then I did the other side and did my best to make sure it matched. This photo is ugly because I haven’t faired the framing yet (makes some look crooked), but the top, of the bottom row, is where the top of the batten was. scrubbyj427, Edwardkenway, Ryland Craze and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice work. Thanks! Going super slow. Still framing and fairing. Rechecking and fairing more started on the stern frames but really taking time to check things from every possible angle and lighting! glbarlow and Steve20 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wxchsr Posted March 10, 2023 Author Share #40 Posted March 10, 2023 I’m still here just taking my good nature time getting the fairing right. Port framing is done (less the stern) and I have a good portion of the stern done. A little more fairing to do and I’ll start with framing the stern. scrubbyj427, glbarlow, Edwardkenway and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wxchsr Posted December 12, 2023 Author Share #41 Posted December 12, 2023 Still moving along. Had to take the summer off but now that it's turning colder, I'm back in my "office" and back to working on the model. Starboard is done for the time being. Port is planked above the wales. I need to sand that area, plank a row below it, then add and paint the second layer and black strake as I did on the port. I also need to do a little cleanup around the gunport openings where I see the cuts varied a little. Overall very happy with the progress! mugje, westwood, Greg M and 10 others 11 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
