Me too. It took me almost 20 minutes yesterday to find where I was in the instruction book of my current project after I realized I needed to wait for an order to arrive from Germany...

Ummm....from Germany...., I wonder what that might be?
Sorry for the offtopic, Peter
Nothing exciting - just tiny brass bits from Knupfer.Ummm....from Germany...., I wonder what that might be?
Sorry for the offtopic, Peter
I am glad that i am not the only one who forgets the building instructions Jim, i was already thinking that i was beginning to get a bit tossy in building
I am glad you joint the club Paul, and @Jimsky don't worry about the offtopic Jim, live is more than just this crosssection, so just go ahead with everything you want to ask or say
After the false start that i made with my crossection, i tried it again, i had one frame of witch i thougt that it was correct, so i made another frame and i fitted them together, partly with a clamp, and i had the same bad result.
As you can see, the frame is incorrct, and verry wobly.
Again i took it a apart, and i cheked everything , and it was al sloppy work from myself.
First of all, When i cleaned the floortimbers and the futtocks, i took some material away, and i accidently changed the shapea bit.
The part of the floortimber that is being glued to the keel, was a bit crooked, it was minimal, but it was about 0,05millimeter on the width of the keel, that is at the end of the floortimber 6 x 0,05 = 0,3 millimeter on either side of the timber so that makes 0,6 millimeter, and the futtocks also had a little bit of difference.
Some difference here and some difference there makes a lot of a differce. in total.
And there is a minor problem with my eyesight, that is not always very good, so when i glued the futtocks to the first floortimbers, there was also a bit of differce.
And that is how i got a wobly frame.
I started all over again, and with a lot more checks. I made two complete new frames, and clamped them to the keel.
that looked a lot better, glued together, it looked like this.
At the arrow, there is a very smal free space, but this is acceptable for me, it is about 0,3 millimeter.
So now i could continue, and i placed the remaining floortimbers,
At the arrow you see the first extra futthock, that had to be replaced straight away, because i broke it ( a bit impacient) during the first session of taking it all apart.
After this i checked if it was a bit straight, and this is how it looks now.
All futtocks are resting on the floor,
And now i can continue, and i am verry happy with it.
See you next time , and have a nice weekend for now.

I've seen the prototype model of the kit last year during the exhibition in Amsterdam. It looked like a really good designed kit.
I will follow your build with great interest.

Designing a kit - 17th Century Pinas Cross-Section (Kolderstok) [COMPLETED BUILD]
Hi everyone! So far I've been quietly reading and watching some of your awesome projects, in both the scratch and kit section. Today I'm starting a thread about a project that's finished by now, but I think will be of interest to some of you. The original build log was published on the Dutch...

Yes Peter, Spiderman did not win this round, i did
Good that you have done the first working steps once more - you would never get happy with the old result
You are right about that Uwe, i was already highly irritated the way it looked, zo now it's a lot better, tomorrow i'll the new result on SOS
Last time i had The futtocks resting on the floor, so i went to the next step, placing the Keelson, and the Garboard strakes, and the first part of the Bottomplanking. the arrow is pointing at the Keelson
While this was drying,
my admiral had to warn our 8 kilogram Ragdoll, because he wanted to have a taste of the floortimbers, on the picture it looks very innocent, but you never can trust him
The arrow with the letter a shows the Garboard strake, the letter b arrow shows a plank that has to make sure that the model will not skew in the stand
The triangular trench between the keel and the garboard strak forms the Limber hole.
Water in this trench was pumped to above the waterline where in ran into the sea.
At this moment i am working on the Futtocks again, it is not going very fast, because this time they have to sit perfect, i don't want to redo this redo,
So this time it is check, double-check, and tripple-check.
I also had a bit off delay, because my light-loup said . i don't give any more light. After 9 good working years it went to " Led Heaven".
and for the Spiderman check, i turned it over , so far , so good, spiderman has all paws on the floor, so it is not wobbling like before.
This was it for this update, next time i hope to have all futtocks placed.
