Clamps were needed as the frames were not close tight everywhere
I am wondering why would the frames not close tight everywhere? Are they (frames) are different thiknesess? The lasers marks on the base are equal spacing, though. Why would be there a difference, hmm...?
Maybe very small differences in the wood thickness of the sheets - f.e. four times 0,05mm is already a difference of 0,2mm and this you recognize already.
Or another problem is the thickness of the glue which is used ..... I remember the words by Dr.Mike in one of the videos
Thanks Heinrich!
As the glue dried I gave the frames a final sanding
I can tell from the personal experience...She has a very nice and unique body line (the hull). She is quite sexy!
You are doing a great job, Zoly. It will help others for sure on their builds.
The time has come to use the templates for the gunports

After a few of these are done the rest will seem easy, just lots of work to repeat.
Great work so far, and adding gun ports will make it look more like ship hull.

All the other kit manufacturers should take a clue from Sail and Sail on how to write proper instructions.
clever idea - now drilling and sanding horizontal and in 90° towards the center lines
Drilling and cleaning the gunports goes fster than I expected

A laborious task at best, but if the ports are as clearly defined as these, it certainly helps. The ports are also being cut from relatively thick wood (compared to planking strips) which should help with finishing them off squarely and cleanly. Either way, nice going Zoly!
Thanks,they are glued temporary with washable paper glue ,so they come of very easy
More gunport work on the starboard side
Keep 'yem' open!!
