Previous years, I started to build the keel and frames, have a look at the Dutch website "Modelbouwforum".
Last month, after a lot of sanding, I permanently (glue) joined the frames to the keel.
After some discussion on how to end the garboard at the bow side, I started to mount the rear garboard plank to the frames and to the keel.
Some glueing, a lot of clamps, holes for the tree nails and the frist number of tree nails.
In this section there are 28 tree nails.
I calculated that I would need some 7500 nails in total.
So still some work to be done.
