Hmm. Butt joints on the frames. That will require some precision sanding Lawrence! Looks like your off to a great start!

Hello Ship Mates, We are still working on the framing of our HMY Fubbs, cleaning up and also a light sanding and gluing on the templates . It seams that we are a bit slow but we are slowly getting to the end of all of our framing pile pieces.

Hi canoe21 - you are making great progress - I am following WJ Romero practicum - 2020 lockdown gave me 3 months to cut the frames from scratch - tedious but...the end result will always bring a smile.

Hello Spree Three, I thank you for visit to my HMY Fubbs build log. I have built the HMS bounty and also the Oliver Cromwell from scratch for build on frame . Sawed and planed my own lumber in our basement creating tons of saw dust and shavings. This HMY Fubbs stern section most of that work has already been by Mike Shanks. So my build is moving along much faster then previous builds. But I still have to clean up and taper all of these frames before I can start to assemble this beautiful fine little ship stern section.
Regards Lawrence
Good to see you making sawdust Lawrence, from what I've seen these scratch / kit's make up into a really nice model,
Best regards John,

Hello John, Thanks for your very nice words and comments. Yes this is a great ,I choose the hard maple wood version, it is machine cut from 1/2" or 1271mm at the 1:24 scale. I am on my last batch of cleaning up the hull frames and gluing on the templates so as to be able to flayer the hull. That should start in the next day or so.
