Just about halfway with my frames. To my defense: three weeks away from the yard ánd the decision to put in some trennels. I'd love to see your frames with those as well...
Hello Dean, Thanks for your visit and also for your very kind words. I now must add the simulated bolts to all of my completed frames, this should be very interesting, before gluing in the frames.Looking very good Lawrence! You’re on the home stretch to the first milestone.
Then you can start working on the inner frame work, below deck. It comes with its own challenges, but I am certain you will do well.
Hello Heinrich, Thanks for your very kind words and overly nice comments. Forgot about the simulated bolts last night so the Cathedral will have to wait for a day or so.Superb work Lawrence. I cannot wait to your fully-assembled cathedral!
Hello Peter, Thanks for your visit and also for your very nice words. Yes the Cathedral will have to wait a day or so that will surly help my sour fingers.As written above: it’s looking very good, Lawrence. Not the end of all the char, but now you can clean up and work to the cathedral-view. And give your finger some rest.
Regards, Peter
Hello Henk, I thank you for your visit and also for your very kind words. I thought that I would start gluing in the frames today but over looked all of those simulated bolts that I want to add to the frames first.
Hello Johan, thanks for your visit and also for your nice comments. Later on today I will begin adding all of those simulated bolts to the frames before I start to glue them in place.Just about halfway with my frames. To my defense: three weeks away from the yard ánd the decision to put in some trennels. I'd love to see your frames with those as well...
Nice! I like it! Good to see your personal touch on it.
Aha, fantastic! Another build with trennels.
Hello Dean, I thank you for your kind words, Yes I do like to add a lot of detail to my builds and I thought this is a place to start.Nice! I like it! Good to see your personal touch on it.
Hello Johan, I am pleased that you like my simulated frame bolts, golly but there sure is a lot of them. I got 13 frames done yesterday, but still have a long way to go.
I saw you're using copper nails, those might cost you a little more time than the toothpicks I'm using. Admittedly, my trennels are less visible than yours.
Hello Johan, Yes that is true but these tiny brass nails that I saw on the Dry-Dock Models & Parts over a year ago now I wanted to use them to simulate the ships hull frame, much like Dean did in his YQ-Bluenose build log. I do not feel that they stick out to much but a bit more than your very realistic tooth picks.
These details are really down to one's preferences. For a long time I've been alternating between brass or wooden trennels. Ended up with wood.
Hello Peter, I thank you very much for your very kind words. I do like the look of the tiny brass nails. I almost went with even bought a draw plate but the brass won out.
