I veered from the dunbrody plans here and as I showed previously created the rounded (in profile) the stern to match the painting of the William Carson. It was hard to tell where the last 1/2 frames ended and where the counter timbers began so I just picked a spot on my own. the counter timbers seem a bit long to me but it worked out in the end. As with all the frames I do most of the sanding before installation to limit the tedious fairing afterwards.             | ||

I may have made a mistake as this is supposed to be a merchant cargo ship and I just finished installing the shelf for the accommodation deck from the Dundrody plans that the ship is based on (a passenger ship). I also spent considerable time drawing the accommodation deck structure that will most likely need some modifications or even left out for the Wm Carson. | ||

Then your making the frames, pegging them and then framing in the rest of the ship. Outstanding job. Later Tim | ||

It is important to spend a lot of time on the drawings as it can save a lot of time trying to make things fit properly. Please note the construction and line drawings come from the dunbrody that I bought on line. I did have to create the frame drawings (lofting) from the line drawings. | ||
