HMS ENTERPRISE by Keith 1:48 scale. New Kit from M.D.

Stern deadwood glued and keel pieces dry fitted to see how it all fits together. A little sanding of the bow gripe piece curve will have it fitting perfectly inside the jig. When the glue has dried on the stern deadwood l will begin the first sanding to taper it down to 3 mm at the bottom. Everything seems to fit the drawing nicely :)

Just wished id checked this
Why do they not warn about the keel being 4-5 mm too long
Needs about 5mm of the stern part

Hi All. Back to my build log . . . I have now finally glued the frames 1 to 37 permanently onto the keel. Nice and rigid. And also made a start on the stern cant frames. These frames require a different method of construction to the ''straight frames'', and some working out and attention to detail is needed. The odd number frames, y1, y3, y5 and y7 are what l shall call double frames, ie the A and B sides are made up and are joined together at the floor timber and are sanded as one piece, like the straight frames. Frames y2, y4, y6 and y8 are made up as individual A and B sides because they are not actually joined together at the floor timber section. They are fitted to the keel individually although they are one frame, if you follow what l mean. Because of this great care must be taken to make sure the step in the futtock joints is in the right direction. A bit of lateral thinking is required. A bit tricky for my little brain :)

It's very nice to see your very accurate build of new frames, Keith. With the special shape of the ones in de bow and stern.
Regards, Peter

Thank you very much Jeff. How's your back, mate?

It's getting better. :) I just posted an update in my thread.
I tried to do some work on some frames when I wasn't feeling that great and now I have to take a few apart.
I guess that is to be expected when you can't really focus on what you are doing. I messed up some of the futtock shifts. :)

You really have to keep your mind on what you're doing with this one, especially when it comes to the cants
