I had to stop and double check my measurements (good thing I did...) And needed to route the frame adjacent to the main mast. The one about the foremast will need to be built up in two parts with an offset cross member to accommodate.    | ||

Anyway glad to see you are sticking with it. Nice to see you are using hand tools---I have not seen that hand router tool for many a year. Not in ship modeling that is. Keith. | ||

As far as the routed bulkhead, keep in mind I am working strictly from line drawings. I do not have construction drawings to go with it. Suppose that I was doing plank-on-frame, this wouldn't be a problem since I would build up the step on top of the frame. But even in this kind of build I prefer my mast to go as far down as possible. | ||

After having finished setting up all the frames I was sourly disappointed at the accumulated error in the frames, no doubt the lag of jigging contributed to this. No matter, everything is a learning experience. I had decided to re-commission my first iteration and had made some preparations to continue it. Unfortunately I was besieged by an absurd lack of planking material. After several months of fruitless searching through my usual channels I ended up ordering from North East Scale Lumber early in the newyear. Their service was quick but the price steep - not to mentioned the shipping... brutal. It was around the same time I was able to obtain a considerable amount of planking through back channels. I have not made much progress as yet because I was working on a different project - a cross section of a Swedish Privateer. | ||
