Trussben Posted June 21 Author #61 Posted June 21 All six counter Timbers installed, the other horizontal ones are for the framing of the aft gunports and the other transoms. The long runners down each side of the ship are not yet glued in place, just there to keep everything in its place until this stern framing is completed.

Trussben Posted Sunday at 07:13 PM Author #70 Posted Sunday at 07:13 PM Starboard side gunport framing completed, now to start cleaning the char from the Frame pieces and begin installing them. I intend to frame this side and when done turn her around and frame all the port side. Ronald-V, westwood, gjdale and 11 others 14 Current builds: HMS Portland, HMS Pegasus .

Trussben Posted Monday at 07:14 PM Author #72 Posted Monday at 07:14 PM Here are the first few Starboard side frames installed, we will begin to get a proper feel for what the model is going to look like now. The designer has left lots of “meat on the bones” for later fairing of the hull when framing is complete. westwood, Zarkon, Beckmann and 13 others 16 Current builds: HMS Portland, HMS Pegasus .

scrubbyj427 Posted Tuesday at 04:02 PM #74 Posted Tuesday at 04:02 PM Great start on the frames Ben. Those perpendicular ones go pretty quick once the char is off.

Trussben Posted Tuesday at 07:54 PM Author #75 Posted Tuesday at 07:54 PM Aft deadwood piece was cleaned of char and adjusted so it was a nice tight fit in its position, it’s not been glued in as its shape needs to be sanded closer to what it will finally look like. scrubbyj427, davyboy, realworkingsailor and 12 others 14 1 Current builds: HMS Portland, HMS Pegasus .
