You are 100% correct Johan. That is what happens when one reads something at twenty to four in the morning! :)

Hello Heinrich and Johan, Henrich I can well understand your concerns with cutting off the points, that would really make a mess. I do thank you for concerns in trying to ward off a disaster.
Yes, Johan has it correct, I meant only to mark that point on the frames and not cut them off. I believe it is my very poor explanations that trough you off Heinrich, for this I am very sorry. I do appreciate all of your comments and your help, but at 4 AM I can understand your little mistake, Thanks.
Regards Lawrence :)
 
Hello Ship Mates, Well I finally got the little fellows to clean up the char on the first 1 to 8 frames. We also tapered these frames and dry fitted them to the YQ-Bluenose keel. My Admiral was also good to me as she gave me another set of files they are 1/2 diamond grit, and 1/2 steel. Much smaller than the first set making the huge task ahead of us just a little bit easier.

Super-neat work removing all that char Lawrence, and your first 8 frames sit beautifully on the keel - right up to the rabbet line - just as it should be! Well done my friend! Thumbsup

Hello Heinrich, I thank you for your very nice words and comments. Golly these frames at 1:72 versus those of my Oliver Cromwell at 1:48 sure are very delicate in comparison. One hast to be very careful with them ,the wood is excellent and nice to work with, but I am not a great fan of the char, I suppose that is due to scratch builds that I have been building for the last 6 or so years, this char takes away from some of the joys of building the YQ- Bluenose, but the results are great.
Regards Lawrence

Hello Peter, I thank you for your very nice words. Yes my Admiral Bernadette was very good to me and these little files will be a great help in removing some of the char, making the task a whole lot easier.

Hello Ship Mates, Well I finally got the little fellows to move about just a bit fasted these last few days. We have completed building and flaring frames #09 to #16

These we have dry fitted to the ships keel. We have glued up frame # 17 and cut out frame # 18, golly but we sure do have a long way to go.

Hello Peter, Yes for sure she is starting to show some of her great lines. Still have a long way to go with building frames. Starting to feel more comfortable with these tiny frames compared with my Oliver Cromwell build that was 1:48 scale.
