A good start, but I think you should fair the frames more with straight lines - in the moment it just too round

In the moment you have them still too round - red (marked with red arrow) are the status in moment of your first frame
and they sghould be faired m,ore or less along the blue line



in the following photo are in red the faired line of the frames - green is the touching area of the final faired frame with the jig
so all frames should have contact with the jig along the green lines

Hi Uwek,

So, after the recommended fairing, the front of the bow (good term?) should touch the jig at the blue arrow jonction point ?

 

[xander898]

Thank you Uwek, but if i sand more, the frame will no longer touch the jig, or else i have to remove underneath too, so that the whole piece goes down and touch the jig at the green line

I do not know, how the foot of the frame is looking like, and also the keel

Hi xander, please take your time with the size, I don't think it solves the problem of the current situation

also for this it has to be checked, if the keel with the stem (front of the bow) is sitting correctly inside the jig.
If this is correct, than you have to take care about the connections between the keel and the individual frames.
If everything is correct, than the outside of the faired and sanded frames should have contact along the green line
This is the outside form of the hull before the planking

Take a look at this sketch



In red the keel and stem. green your (double)frame -> also here you have to fair and adjust the foot of the frames so that the frame has a proper contact over the complete width to the keel

You can find these lines also on your frames


Check it with looking from the side into your jig looking at the contact point of your frames with the keel

you can see this principle on th eframes of my Le Coureur build

at the stern


and at the bow

Hi xander, please take your time with the size, I don't think it solves the problem of the current situation

correct think twice or three times before you cut

maybe these photos can also help a little bit, showing my Salamandre build from a CAF kit in scale 1:48

remember the green line

LA SALAMANDRE, bomb ketch - POF - (CAF-models, 1/48)

Time is running.....now also the frames close to the bow are finished. In post 139 I showed already one of these at the sander. Some impressions of this status.....the frames 1 to 8 and all in the jig

and with very fine green lines I showq you here the faiting of the foot of the frames

LA SALAMANDRE, bomb ketch - POF - (CAF-models, 1/48)

With the keel and stem prepared I started to dryfit the first frames. Herefore I have to sand the floor timbers in the contact area to the keel and the first fitting of the frames directly on the keel there is still a lot of detailed sanding necessary, so that the outside of the frames...

Thanks for those tips guys. I will indeed take my time, i don't want to mess up the kit

Thanx Uwe . I see you sanded the frames above the line, way up
Also with the example of your Salamandre it is very clear

Be aware, that my Salamandre is a completely different kit, so you can not copy this directly.
It showing only the principles of reading the laser-lines on the frames etc.....

This gives a good idea, especially on the method to make a POF model, because it's my first one. That's why i have so my many questions . Thanx again

We are here to help and assist when ever necessary and requested
BTW: My Salamandre was also for me my first POF, so I know very well your situation
Most important: Have fun with the model

The continuation of sanding. Frames are fragile. I broke several during sanding. I begin to better understand the form that i must give to the frames.

Hi

How is your build progressing?

Hi

Hi
Not much at the moment. I finished sanding the frames. Now I have to sand in the direction of the hull and it's not that easy because of the size of the elements By the way La Licorne took me a lot of time
