Hello Shota, it is a joy to follow your build and see such excellent workmanship. I was fascinated to see your tower of frames grow higher and higher.

Dear Roger
Thank you very much for the warm and complimentary words, it's nice to know that you like my work
 
Hello dear friends
First I would like to thank you all for the kind words and compliments, likes and smiles. It's nice to know you like her:D
In the last few days, I started working on the next step, I'm making the necessary adjustments to fit the frames to the jig, including the keel.
I take and check each frame in terms of the slopes that express the contours of the ship's hull. I'm Maintaining the exact measurements at each corner of the frames and also marking the place where the three wooden strips of the wheels will be placed/glued.
In addition, I glued 4.5 mm thick wooden strips on the jig that help maintain the correct space of the frames and also make sure they stand at a 90 degree angle as required.
I admit that I pay a lot of attention to each frame to maintain the accuracy required to minimize mistakes/
damage to the ship's hull.
I would like to make it clear that this is not the last step in the process and there are many more, so for now I wish everyone a pleasant and enjoyable weekend

Hi Shota,

are you sure that the first cantframe and the hawse pieces (sorry I did not know the correct french name) are correct? In the first picture it looks that the frames are to much inside of your jig.
I hope that I am wrong, but now you can fix it easier than later

my Dear friend
Thanks for the question and attention,
it just didn't sit in the right way .
In any case, I will verify this throughout the adjustment process

Good evening Shota. Wow- you are owning this my friend. Beautiful. Cheers Grant
 
good evening dear my friends
In the last week I continued to work on the initial adjustments that required to place the frames on the keel.
I reached frame number 20, an Amount that making it possible to get an impression along with the draft of the ship from the contours of the front third.
I also call in pencil the locations of the wills of the ship and the gunports.
As I mentioned the previous update ,I still have a lot more sanding work, adjustments and even repairs are required of me in some of the frames in order to reach an optimal result that will allow them to be glued permanently (after the installation of the nails that connected the two layers of each frame).
So until then you will be impressed by the small progress.
Good night everyone

Remarkable Shota, the dry fit looks good to me. One thing does show up however, the notch outs in the keel where the frames sit down seems to my very novice eyes a bit shallow. Maybe they are deeper than they appear?

Made some nice progress, Shota. Now that her shapes are becoming so visible, this can only be a stimulus for the next.
