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 June 1 Author Share #34 Posted June 1 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, JeffT, Ryland Craze 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 June 1 Share #35 Posted June 1 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 ….

Rustyj Posted June 10 Author Share #36 Posted June 10 I'm continuing the char clean up and bagging the frame pieces until assemble. Below is a set all cleaned and ready for assembly later. The laser cutting is clean and precise. There are a total of 42 "square" frames to be made up in chapter 1. Back to scraping and sanding. dvm27, CaptMorgan, Chuck and 12 others 15 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...
Rustyj Posted June 13 Author Share #37 Posted June 13 I've been assembling some frames, and they are going well. I just couldn't resist placing first frame (Aa) on the keel. For the picture I moved the left square to the back of the frame so you can see the how it lines up with the plan. It's now back where it belongs. Back to assembling more frames!

glbarlow Posted June 15 Share #39 Posted June 15 Looks great, just a few more to go😊 Jack12477 1 Quote Regards, Glenn Current Build: HMS Winchelsea Completed Builds: HM Flirt (paused) HM Cutter Cheerful, Lady Nelson, Amati HMS Vanguard, HMS Pegasus, Fair American, HM Granado, HM Pickle, AVS, Pride of Baltimore, Bluenose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I set a frame on the keel I continue to assemble other frames. I was going to assemble all the frames first, but this way breaks it up a little. Plus, it's nice to see some frames in place. You will see uneven application of poly on the frame outboard and inboard sides of the frames. I didn't worry about that as they will all be sanded a lot as I fair the model. Ok now just 39 more full frames to go!

Stuntflyer Posted Thursday at 07:06 PM Share #43 Posted Thursday at 07:06 PM Rusty, Something that you might want to consider with regard to those top timber jig pieces. Not that you are, just don't assume that by clamping them together that the frames automatically square up. They might need to be tweaked a bit with a toothpick or something like that. I know that Chuck did and so did I.

Freebird Posted Friday at 01:55 AM Share #45 Posted Friday at 01:55 AM Rusty, Quick question - in your close-up picture of frames on the keel, the bottom of the frames are flush with the top of the rabbet, did you have to deepen the notch in the frames to get them to seat? Best Regards .... Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the laser cutting there is a very small, raised area in the notch. I just lightly sanded it with a fine file to smooth it out.
