Halifax from the lumberyard

[MavRick]

First I wish everyone a Happy New Year.
This is my new build of the Halifax. At this time all the full frames are built. I’m currently seeing how they fit to the jig and keel.
I’m doing some sanding here and there as needed.

I will be referring to available build logs and the caustic build for help.

Regards

Rick

I’ve been doing some fairing of inside frames. I like having this access with other members out of the way.
I enjoy watching the frames come into shape from one to the other.

Great work so far, keep the posts coming.

Finished assembling stern half frames. Doing some sanding on them to fit jig. Will then take first pair , do some fairing on inside , check fit then glue them in place.

 

[MavRick]

Stern frames are in place, I did some fairing of inside on these frames prior to gluing them in place. More to be done. The bow frames are next.

 

[MavRick]

Working on bow frames. Due to my error I’m redoing last set . I’ve found that working on these models I’ve gained experience to recut wood when I make a mistake. The kit has enough wood where I can use parts as needed.
Regards to you all

Thank you all for checking in and adding your likes.

With the framing members in place I’ve started fairing the hull. You can see the various sanding blocks and sticks I use. Slowly the timber’s will
be brought into line from one to the next.
Take care

I’ve just finished first pass along outside hull with 40 g bringing frames in line. I also worked on getting keelson to fit and glued in place. I used zip ties to hold keelson in place. First time doing this and like how they worked . A couple of them still in place . Now will proceed with next sanding using 80g then final sanding.

Since my last post I’ve been concentrating on stern. Counter timber’s in place with planks.
I’ll be working on wales and planks above to u/s of cap rail. After that will consider cutting ship from jig.

 

[MavRick]

I’ve been adding planks and wales and removed her from jig. Needs more planks to get up to cap rail .

 

[MavRick]

I decided in lieu of cast piece for stern to build and shape using wood. The pencil line helped me do rough shaping of support members . When the planks are complete inside and out she’ll be sanded

Hello, how are you MavRick! I really like your model, she will be a beauty! Sorry handsome: Halifax! And a very interesting technique, how it is built. This way of building a model is called POF-plank-on-frayme, isn't it? It takes a lot of work and patience, but it's worth it!

Doing well . Thank you for your comments. You’re correct , it is plank on frame . I enjoy the process . It keeps my mind and hands busy.
