Just how many wives do you have Mario? Or is that just a Freudian slip?

Hi Mike,
Looking back at the technique you used to assemble the frames made the penny drop for me. If I were
starting the frames on my current project now I would take you approach. I have the feeling that a stack
of frames maybe more consistent build in this manner requiring less fairing to finish. Just a thought and will give it a try the next time.

You may still be south of the border yet so if you are hope you're having a great trip.

Hi Paddy,

I made it back across the border I am in Jacksonville Florida doing some handyman stuff for my daughter. LOL I will be back home one week from Saturday. I can’t wait to get back to the section.

The only thing I would do differently is to install the frames in one piece then cut out all the gunports. Once the gunports are trimmed there will be a minimum amount of fairing required. Everything is staying square and level so far.

Your frames look great you are becoming a true master of the scrapper. LOL All joking aside you are doing excellent work on your model and it will be a fine addition to your collection.

Mike

Thanks for that Mike. Good to hear you'll be back at the dockyard in the near future.

This post shows the installation of the rest of the frames and keelson with the limber boards and strakes next to the limber boards. There will be two small platforms shown below the orlop shown on the next post.
