Usgecko Posted April 21 Author Share #32 Posted April 21 (edited) Started on the planing for the ceilings - on both inner and outer sides of the hull. I elected to cut them individually so progress has been slow I attached the planks directly to the hull at the bow, rather than pre-fabricating them as I have above Edited April 21 by Usgecko GrandpaPhil, Coyote_6, Cathead and 1 other 4 Quote Completed Build https://modelshipworld.com/gallery/album/2804-drakkar-amati/ In Progress - Revel Constitution https://modelshipworld.com/topic/8119-uss-constitution-by-usgecko-revell-plastic-196/#comment-240693 In Progress - Brig Niagara - Model Shipways https://modelshipworld.com/topic/35782-brig-niagara-model-shipways/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wawona59 Posted June 1 Share #35 Posted June 1 Your Niagara is really coming along nicely. Your work on the framing is very clean and crisp. That's something I need to strive for to improve. Interesting use of cross bracing between the bulkheads. Haven't seen that technique before. Reminds me of the cross bracing between the floor joists in an old house I used to live in. You're going to end up with a beautiful model that you can display proudly. Keep up the good work.

Appreciate the comment. I did the cross bracing like that as it was easier than trying to cut pieces to precisely fit between the bulkheads. Two 45 degree cuts in two pieces of wood allowed me to provide bracing more easily for me Quote Completed Build https://modelshipworld.com/gallery/album/2804-drakkar-amati/ In Progress - Revel Constitution https://modelshipworld.com/topic/8119-uss-constitution-by-usgecko-revell-plastic-196/#comment-240693 In Progress - Brig Niagara - Model Shipways https://modelshipworld.com/topic/35782-brig-niagara-model-shipways/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
