Take a look at this 3D-animation of the hull, which seems to show the content of session 1 and 2 and the status after finishing session 2

Thanks Uwek. Based on your attached picture, most of the deck frame showed by Tom on posting #82 is (will be) part of session 3. Looking great.

Thanks again,
Daniel

Try to make Granado into a structure that separates the top from the bottom, and after that, it can be assembled smoothly
This is very challenging, and I'll share some of my experience in remaking later

Hallo my friend, Hallo Tom alias @CAFmodel
we wish you all the BEST and a HAPPY BIRTHDAY
Enjoy your special day with your family and friends

and many thanks for the presents you are making to us with your beautiful kits

I am falling in love with this model.
with the section model I am just building and when I see these photos also with the complete ship model.
You are doing a very good work.
In the last photo we can see some smaller strips laying in 90° towards the ship axis - I guess these are only temporary for the correct alignment of the treenailing, or?

 

[Maarten]

This kit is just jealousy making nice, something you just want to buy. But still too much work on the shelf

 

[Stargazer]

Tom, is the model shown being built with the split hull?

 

[Bryian]

This is a truly superb ship model kit. I encourage anyone contemplating a new build to consider this kit.

 

[Jack Sparrow]

Something for me to think about. I would love to try building a POF model. So far, I only have experience with plank on bulkhead.

Hi @Bryian,

Does this kit require the split hull? It looks like the frames and stem/sternpost are pre-sectioned? Or maybe I'm missing something? Thanks much!
