Freebird Posted May 22 Share #33 Posted May 22 Rusty, Your work looks awesome! I'm at the stage of sanding the deadwood down and adding the wedges. I hope whatever was keeping you down is in the rearview mirror. Getting old isn't for the faint of heart. Two days before the Conference, I had some minor surgery and certainly wasn't going to miss that day! Keep up the good work! Best Regards ....

Rustyj Posted Saturday at 12:14 PM Author Share #34 Posted Saturday at 12:14 PM Hi all, I've just finished sanding the char off both sides of the billets holding the frame pieces. After that was done I applied a light coat of wipe on poly to both sides before removing any pieces. For me it seems to help keep the sides cleaner when removing the char from the rest of the frames. I'll be taking the frame pieces out one at a time, clean them up and put them in Individually marked storage bags until I'm ready to assemble them. This will take a bit of time as there are a lot of frames to do.😀 Freebird, Ryland Craze, Stuntflyer and 4 others 7 Quote Rusty "So Long For Now" Current Builds: Speedwell Completed Build Logs: HMS Winchelsea 1/48 Duchess of Kingston USF Confederacy , US Brig Syren , Triton Cross Section , Bomb Vessel Cross Section, Cutter Cheerful, Queen Anne Barge, Medway Longboat Completed Build Gallery: Brig Syren , 1870 Mississippi Riverboat , 1949 Chris-Craft 19' Runabout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freebird Posted Saturday at 01:50 PM Share #35 Posted Saturday at 01:50 PM It took me over 2 hours to bag the frames, it’s the only way to keep them organized. Nice idea about applying WOP while in the billet, I’ve been applying poly when I finish building a frame. Best Regards ….
