Hello Zoly,
I notice you haven't sanded off the numbers on the side of the frames yet. Will this show up on the finished model ?
Just curious, its looking great.

Those numbers won’t be visible ,also those numbers are laser engraved so they are very deep ,would take a lot to sand them down but like I said no need for that,these frames won’t be visible later onHello Zoly,

Next step ,I glued in the stern and bow 3D printed parts,at the stern the the 3D parts were not 100% aligned with the frames so I soaked them in warm water for a few minutes and the became a little bit softer and possible to form and bend a little bit.
The bow 3D parts had now issues so they were straight forward
The instruction manual sugest to glue on the rails but I decided to skip this part and do it after the planking is done.So the next step to remove the whole upper hull structure from the jig.
Those plastic bow and stern pieces are a great idea to save all that fiddly construction.
Yes ,it was a quick job
Were the plastic printed parts in the kit or your own design production? Using the cap rail was a good alignment check. Now I can see how those rows of wood pieces smartly aligned are beginning to form the hull. Nice work! Rich
Looking very promising! This is a nice kit.
That sounds like Peter's sawn YQ BN to view the lower deck arrangements.

Congrats on your milestone, Zoly! The top part of the ship construction left the berth. That was quick, and good job, my friend!

But Bryian that takes away the skill of planking around a bow and forming your planks at the stern. This way the art of dropped planks and stealers will be somehing of the past. Pity.

Thank you Jim!
Looking very accurate and precise work
So is it your skills and / or the good quality of the kit?
I guess 50:50 .....

Hello guys ,next step is assembling the additional frames as described in the instructional manual
As the manual says,the “right” side is done
Thats looking great Zoly. I love the "tumblehome' of the upper frames.
I don't really understand, just yet, how this kit goes together, but I am completely fascinated and will watch the whole process. I've never seen anything quite like this before. The lines are very pleasing.
