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

A couple of questions about this so far
A) It looks like you have a slight gap between the front of the Bow and gthe Frame (First PIcture) I have similar although the Keel is Exactly placed on the Plan

B) You see to have placed the ODD numbered Cant X frames in first and the na added the Rear EVEN frames ois this what you recommend
AGAIN THANKS

I did the odd cant frames first purely because these are joined at the floor timbers and A and B are treated as one unit and fit in place on their individual step on the deadwood. The even numbered frames are not joined, so A and B sides are 2 separate units of the sames frame and are easier to place on their step between the odd numbered frames. Only glue them when all the cant frames are done and the angles are correct
 
Hoping you can answer this

My number 37 frame has a marking on the A Side indication sanding it down (First Picture)
B frame is normal !

Not sure what it means
sorry to post on your page

Yes. I found this. It is an error, just ignore it. There is also one on the A side of y8. Remember that when you get to it. Not bad, only 2 errors on all the frame parts

Jig parts B17a, b and c have been added to the cradle to support the counter timbers. The outer timbers, port and stbd are made up of 2 parts and sanded to form the fashion pieces, I think they're called. A cross frame, which took a very small amount of adjustment has also been fitted which I hope will give a little more support to what could be a very easily knocked and broken assembly

That's looking very nice, Keith. The build it self as well as your picture. Filling a few gaps ........ then she is full-framed.
Regards, Peter

Wonderful work as always.
Thanks for showing me how mine should look ! :D
 
With the futtocks having reduced sidings, filling pieces were packed in the gap between the adjacent futtocks and then nailed fore and aft through the futtocks and filling pieces as you mention. Then a hole was bored through the spacer for air. I cannot see this hole or the fore and aft bolts being done at our scales, but the filling pieces themselves will show. What I cannot find is how many spacers were used or how far apart they were.
Allan
have you found out more about these spacers please

Good evening Keith. You are owning this. A very good looking set of frames and counter timbers. I wish you all the best with not damaging those counter timbers…….;)
Cheers Grant
