Welcome abord Jim, if I had to choose between a brand-new Porshe or a well-done Resto mod 1970 Dodge Charger, well it's the Charger hands down.
... I was talking about the smell, ONLY
Frankly never smell the well-done Resto, 1970 I assume, it will not get the scent smell of a new car. But the new kit smells.... oh yeah!
Hello Daniel,
here you can find some information, I hope this helps a little.
CHEBECE 1750
Bonjour. Demandez á tout le monde: quelle représentation de la plate-forme de la grille est correcte? 1. plan de Boudriot, ma photo? 2. photo + description de B
Le Requin de Daniel Forlani 1/48 - Page 15
C'est vraiment la perfection dans les assemblages... que donnerait un agrandissement de 48 ? On aurait peut-être sous nos yeux le graal du modéliste d'arsenal,
I think Rüdiger @Lucius and Karl @Jeronimo will be happy to answer any questions you may have and help you.

Hello Model Friends, I show some photos of my last model here. The CHEBECE as a cross-sectional model with interior fittings. The carvings I did not do, is a commissioned work. This carving art exceeds my artistic ability but considerably. Karl (Google Translator) PART 1

I will be pulling up a seat in second row, as not to block Paul and others view.
Nothing I like better than watch others have fun building a new and exciting project.
Maybe a set of long keel clamp boards on your support base to help keep the keel straight and on track.

Thank you Tobias, this will really help save some time.Hello Daniel,

Hello neilm, welcome aboard.
Theres plenty of room on this gigantic ships deck.
A few more pictures
Right off the bat I can see where the rail line runs straight off the main deck onto the grated transom area instead of having a slight bend where the railings would be parallel. Thanks again Tobias.

I hit the ground running this morning by spending a couple hours studying the plans, making some translations and setting up the ships jig. A stable straight keel is paramount to success here. I've been warned about vertical keel warping so we shall see.
The ships parts design and construction are almost identical to my YQ Bluenose, I have to wonder if they actually put the kit together, if so, there is no room for error. For those who are staring out like me, the keel has a built-in rabbit once you put the keel together in the 'sandwich' style as shown in the next picture.
This ship at 1:48 is HUGE, I didn't realize how much room it's going to take up. I will be reorganizing my shipyard in the near future to accommodate it.
Thank you all for all the helpful suggestions coming in, I love how this build is starting out.
Till next time!

Around 4 feet long. Man ! That is huge !
Good afternoon Daniel. Good thinking. Those are some serious bolts you haver there
. Coincidently I was setting up my center timbers and bolting them to the jig base this morning as well. I agree with you that it is worthwhile adding some bolts etc to get this set up 100%. Cheers Grant
Good afternoon, all. I have spent about 4 hours setting up the jig, this was after I finished the keel assembly. The jig has 4 levels for fitting the ribs into but after you set the first lower layer, you have to set the keel in then finish the jig construction around it. I spent quite a bit of time fine tunning verticle as well as horizontal alignment. There are 90 notches that have to line up in X,Y,Z directions. Check it out.
Next comes the stage of very slow progress de-charring the multipiece ribs, who knows 5,000 hours should do it
.
I will post periodic updates of stacks of frames.
Thanks for stopping by, have a great weekend.

Ugh, looks like a complex jig. Your translator app must be working overtime.

Great start Daniel, I will be following this new adventure of yours and I am sure you will end up with a beautiful ship in the end. 
I have used the translator a little but mostly just following the pictorial that shows each stage of development. The translator will come in very handy when trying to identify the ships fiddly parts, especially when I purchase certain aftermarket items such as fittings for the rigging, or line sizes. Having built the POF Bluenose will play a huge roll in what needs to happen on this ship.
Thanks Dean, I'm glad you found my build.Great start Daniel, I will be following this new adventure of yours and I am sure you will end up with a beautiful ship in the end.
