Remcohe Posted December 15, 2014 Share #284 Posted December 15, 2014 Looking great Ben. I remember how tedious the framing was on my KF and I allowed myself the occasional break to make a sub assembly of some kind for use further down the road. Hang in there you are nearly there.

dvm27 Posted December 15, 2014 Share #286 Posted December 15, 2014 In addition to Toni's kunckle-saving advice please check those frame/station lines as you close her in. I found that I had to rejig a few frames around the dead flat due to cumulative error. You can modifly the fillers a bit to compensate if necessary. druxey 1 Quote GregwebsiteAdmiralty Modelsmoderator Echo Cross-section buildAdmiralty Models Cross-section BuildFinished buildPegasus, 1776, cross-sectionCurrent buildSpeedwell, 1752 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trussben Posted December 15, 2014 Author Share #287 Posted December 15, 2014 (edited) Thanks all, Toni - you hit it! I intend to do just that before any more frames go in - thanks for the reminder. Greg - my Mentor gave me the same advice so I have already been compensating for creep with every square frame I put in, measuring from dead flat marks on keel to the face of every frame, changing thickness of fillers to achieve it. I've found as much as a scale inch that I've had to compensate for, room and space says they should be 4" but Ive had between 3" to 5" Ben Edited December 15, 2014 by Trussben mtaylor, druxey and dvm27 3 Quote Current builds: HMS Pegasus TFFM.

Trussben Posted January 4, 2015 Author Share #300 Posted January 4, 2015 Thanks everyone and the likes. The 7 frames to go are only the square frames remaining, there is still a lot of work around the stern framing to be done and then all of the fairing and clean up work before the milestone is passed. Greg - I still don't have a finalized idea of how much planking will be done on exterior, I can say for certain that I won't be covering up much of the framing that I have worked so long to make, but still undecided.
