Hello Nersch, Thank you that you like the reports and are helpful, I am very happy. regarding the frame construction, both halves are built as precisely as possible. While gluing the individual joints, I measure again and again and compare them with the plan. Then I build an auxiliary keel to have a fixed point and glue both halves as precisely as possible. The emphasis is on as good as possible, because you'll have minimal tolerances, so it's important to leave some flesh. The most important thing is the sanding, I make the colored plan and that is my absolute point of reference. For me, the main focus (Le Rochefort) is on the yellow frame, which is always at the top when sanding. i.e. I grind it down to the line and so I have my correct shape of the frame, the blue side, i.e. the back, doesn't interest me, even if, for example, the line is no longer visible on one side and about 0,5mm on the other. However, you have to take this into account if you have to grind the inner shape, i.e. the slope of the inside. I hope I was able to describe it clearly.
With Le Rochefort 1:36, the total width is 10.6mm, so half is 5.3mm. I used 5.5mm, i.e. 11mm in total, then I ground it to 10.6mm.
