Hello,
Please, we need your help...
One of our fellow modelers is having a dilemma building frames for his model.
The construction of his frame is the traditional 2-layer frame.
To familiarize yourself with his project, here is the building log: https://shipsofscale.com/sosforums/threads/le-rochefort.3325/page-23
He is using the method most commonly used: paper pattern for each part of the frames glued to lumber. The patterns are then cut out and prepared for assembly.
The problem is the following:
Once individual parts are cut and ready for assembly, the paper pattern is still glued to the part. As the frame is built in 2 layers, the layers need to be glued together. Leaving the paper sandwiched between the 2 layers is not a wise practice. So how do you assemble the 2 layers, and most importantly, how do you line up the parts of the top layers over the bottom layer?
Here is how I personally build my frames: https://shipsofscale.com/sosforums/threads/le-rochefort.3325/page-18#post-87714
We are looking for advice: the most important part of the problem being how do you make sure the 2 layers line up once the paper pattern has been removed from the joint area between the two layers?
Your input is much appreciated.
Thank you.
