    HMY Fubbs Stern Section 1684

    “Every modern model of the Fubbs I have seen has the Herbie the love bug racing stripe with a 2 dark wales with a light center plank. However, the contemporary model in the NMM just has a single dark wale.” Your model, your choice LOL!

    I glued up two stacks of frames: Frame 25 - Frame 30A and Frame 31 - Frame 36. I stacked these on each other. No glue yet and I haven't started fairing the hull yet either.

    You figured out that stern pretty quickly! The rest should be a snap. Waiting to see more! Great job on the rudder, by the way.

    I haven't sanded anything but the bevels as yet, John! Those were done with a dremel and a coarse sanding drum. Frames 25 through 30A are glued into place, but there has been no fairing of the hull yet. Frame 31 is sitting on top of the stack, not glued. It will start the second stack of...

    Royal Yacht HMY Fubbs (1682-1781) – 1:24 Scale Stern Section by DocBlake

    Thanks, guys! Progress so far: The first 6 frames are installed (25 - 27A). The most important measurement is how high above the keel the futtock frames sit. Each is different, increasing in distance as we move aft. To make checking this easier, I drew to proper dimension on thin pieces of...

    Royal Yacht HMY Fubbs (1682-1781) – 1:24 Scale Stern Section by DocBlake

    Thanks, guys! I finally got around to starting the glue up. I used double sided tape to tape the fore side of frame 25 to the template sheet and glued part 25A to it. This was followed by 26 and 26A. The floor frames (25A, 26A, 27A etc.) rest directly on the keel up until frame 32. The...

    One side of the limber board (the short boards with the two holes in each) fits into the rebate while the other side simply lays against the keelson. There is typically a bevel on that second side.
