Jim Lad Posted June 12, 2014 Author #151 Posted June 12, 2014 Well, after another long silence - finally an update! I'm continuing to make and fit hull frames, and am finally starting look like that job will be finished soon; only a few more to go now. The next job after that will be to fair up the inside of the hull as needed and fit some stiffening in the form of stringers before I start to fair up the external hull for planking. Here are a few photos of the current situation. John mtaylor, Dan Vadas, rafine and 19 others 22 Quote

Thanks for sharing. Dave Quote Sawdust Dave - Current build - USS Constitution 1:60th (scratch).... Visit my blog site - All previous builds.... http://davesmodelships.blogspot.com
Jim Lad Posted July 2, 2014 Author #174 Posted July 2, 2014 All of the "standard" frames are now fitted. The next job will be to fit some stringers to stiffen up the hull before I tackle the stern framing. The first of the stringers - the deck clamps - have been roughed out and roughly bent ready for fitting. Once they're in another set of stringers will be fitted along the turn of the bilge (roughly), then the next job will be to work out the stern framing.
