hi Marsalv,

excellent framing, Chapeau! But what are the tiny black squares (holes?) for which appear between the frame ends and the setting grooves of the keel?

To contrecerf: In fact, these are square holes - limber-passage - see picture.

[marsalv]

All the frames are in place, it's time to make the mounts for the stand screws. After gluing the keelson will not be visible.

Hi Marsalv your work is fantastic.

Wow, you think of everything, Bravo. I haven't seen these before on a shipmodel. 

[marsalv]

Thank you.

Filling pieces.

[marsalv]

Hull sanding completed.

[marsalv]

Added keelson. This completes the basic hull skeleton.

Deck clamp preparation.

[marsalv]

Gluing deck clamp, making temporary deck beams to check the location.

A nice, methodical approach! Great result.

Thanky you

 

Applying the deck clamp strengthened the hull so I could complete the limber-passage.

Hi marsalv I'm just catching up and how I missed this I do not know.  Its another fantastic build and I'll be following along - Mark

[Hubac's Historian]

Brilliant work, as always, Marsalv.  Your work never ceases to amaze!

[druxey]

I'd be terrified to use a rotary tool to cut the limber passage!

[marsalv]

Thank you guys for all likes and nice comments.

It's time for inside planking. The spirketting, which is made of two thicker planks, was installed first. These planks are slightly recessed below the level of the frames.

[druxey]

Now, that is attention to detail! Beautifully fitted.

[marsalv]

My posts have gotten me to the stage where the actual model building phase is, so now my posts won't be as frequent .

The first part of the inner planking (the ceiling) is finished, including the limber boards.

[marsalv]

I started planking over the thick- stuff.

[marsalv]

I finally finished the internal planking to the deck clamp level.

[No Idea]

That really is beautiful work - I found planking the ceiling particularly difficult and your result is amazing

[marsalv]

Thank you No Idea.

I started to complete the stern.

[marsalv]

Now came one of the more complicated parts.

[No Idea]

The way you solve both clamping and machining operations is inspirational  - stunning

[marsalv]

Thank you No Idea.

Completed stern construction.

[marsalv]

I proceed by installing wales. I decided to glue the upper wale first - using a "guide" strip. Wale is connected using a scraph joint and the one in the front part is directly in the bend, which significantly complicated the accuracy of connection and gluing.

Beautiful work Marsalv! The joinery on the ebony looks very good.

[marsalv]

Thank you scrubyj427, the black wood is blackhornbeam, not ebony. Black hornbeam is a bit easier to work with than ebony .

Installation of wales completed.

[marsalv]

Nailing wales.

[albert]

Great beautiful work marsalv.
