Yes, the translation is not always the best. I meant the entire frame structure. „The Hull“

No worries, I knew what you meant... all is good..
Good morning. Impressive modelling. Looking mighty fine. Cheers Grant
I few more frames added...
Happy modelling..

Good morning Moreplovac,
the little harbor yacht is growing steadily. I see you have fitted almost 2/3 of the frames. In the last picture you can clearly see that the little harbor yacht has now made a trip to Rome, or more precisely on the dome of St. Peter's Basilica with a view of St. Peter's Square
. Good progress.
Addition: You can also glue the small spacers (at the top end of the frames) so you get more strength in the structure, at least that's how I did it.

Yes, correct. That is the picture I took last year after climbing 551 stairs to the top of Sant Peter' basilica, no cheating with elevator... Very interesting experience particularly when reaching the top of a dome when stairs and construction gets very narrow and with angle to follow to curvature of a dome..Good morning Moreplovac,

I am planning to add small spacers as well, right now constructions requires some additional work to become structurally safe for sanding..
Happy modelling..
If you are already in 2025, wishing you a best of luck, good health and prosperous New Year... and of course, lots of newly built models..
Happy modelling in 2025 to all...

A little bit of a progress, two more frames to go...

Nice progress and looking good! 
Few sanding days for my LR.... lots of dust so I had to find a better place (more ventilation) than my current workbench to safely remove wood...
Slow progress, discovered few mistakes I will need to take care of but overall decent progress so far... but it is soooo slow.... and need to sty focused..
Testing planking on hull' external..
Question for you guys... on plan #5, 6 hawse timbers were presented, but only 5 were numbered.. Practicum mentioned work on #1 then down the text mentioned that bigger timber (#1, not marked as #1 on plan) was used..
On picture bellow it appears that smaller #1 was in use:
So, which one we need to use: bigger, not numbered #1 or smaller, numbered #1?
Also, when it comes to planking, are you guys doing double planking for external hull?

This was a stumper for me as well. The larger #1 is the profile before shaping and the smaller #1 is the profile after shaping and sanding.
The hull should be single planked. I believe the thickness is detailed in the scantling table in the manual. (I’m not home so can’t check to be sure)
