‏‏‏Hello dear friends,
today after about two weeks I finished preparing and installing The filling parts between the frames, which are sometimes at the top of the space between the frames and some in the center.

Tomorrow I will return to try to blacken the nail heads according to Tobias' instructions, and later I will equip the frames with the filler pieces and the key.
The construction process is progressing lazily, as I have free time to work on the ship once every two days and that too only for two or three hours.

A big step, preparing all those parts, Shota. It’s looking very nice.

‏‏‏Hello dear friends
I am happy to update that today I finished the work of installing the square nails in all 51 frames. This is a total of about 1400 nails.
I can't take a picture well enough to allow you to be impressed by the beautiful result.

In the last few days I tested my ability to brown the nail heads using the ballistol.
This liquid was bought with the help of our amazing friend Tobias, who sent the ballistol from Germany. Unfortunately, I am unable to reach a satisfactory result.
Don't worry, I don't give up so quickly, and I'm happy to receive any guidance (Tobias is also here to teach and guide me).I'm attaching a photos of the experiment process.

I'm Happy to inform you that tomorrow the group of friends from my country of ship model builders will gather at my house and this is a celebration for us, in these complex days.
regards Shota

A very nice touch, those square bolt heads. My experiences with blackening brass or copper parts have been very inconsistent. I hope to see satisfactory results from your experiments.
Enjoy the gathering of your fellow modelers!

Johan, my dear friend
thank you very much for your kind words and encouragement :) I will do my best
my fellow modelers, they are generous people and good friends and it is a pleasure and honor to meet them and consider them a friend
 
good evening dear friends
Today I started the process of working on the filler pieces between the frames. Those parts were marked according to the following drawing.

You can see the position of the spanners from the plan with the cross-sections. The distance to the keel is always the same from front to back (thanks to Tabias who helped in understanding the issue).
In the next step I marked with a pencil the positions of the pieces in 27 frames.

After that I started sawing the pear wood panel which was 4.5 mm thick
(I used the jig that members of the forum created for the proxxon thicknes it's great)

unfortunately at this point I had a major malfunction. My saw was from the USA with a voltage of 110 watts and with us it is 220 connected to the electrical outlet without the converter (forgot).

I burned a fuse, capacitor or the internal electrical panel.
Happily, my friends volunteered to check the problem and help as best they could.
I have a tiny table saw for backup, in quality and performance that for now allows me to move forward with the process.20240619_200129.jpg
I created the pieces and placed them between the frames, and this is the intermediate result.

In the coming days I will continue the process of installing the pieces (including those along the keel and between it and the keelson) and the blackening experiments.
After all this I will start preparing the keelson parts and the preparations for the most important and sensitive stage of gluing/fixing the frames and the keelson to the keel and actually creating the hull of the ship.
I'm a little excited to see it on the horizon, a critical mile stone for me :cool::) .
Good night everyone

Nice work with the spacer. Sorry for the table saw. But mostly when you give a machine 220 when it is made for 110, it is just the fuse that burns. Hope it will work soon.

thank you very my friend for the kind words and support, I hope to that is only the fuse

Well done Shota! And thank you for referencing @Tobias for his expertise and help. I too did not realize that the spacers retained the same distance to the keel. Always picking up little nuggets of knowledge for you and others…

Dear Olivie
Thank you very much for the kind words and support, sharing knowledge and mutual support is important value for all of us in the forum:)
 
Hello dear friends
In the last day I finished installing the filler pieces between the frames.
Today I started placing the key pieces that are also between the frames but along the keel. I have currently placed about eight in the bow area.
I Would like to emphasize that everything here is without gluing but dry placement. What is interesting is that as I install the different parts, I feel how they together support and strengthen the structure of the ship's hull. With the frames and the keel, as if it were a construction workshop in reality.
The quality of the photos is not high and also the different parts have not been Sanded to the required point and therefore we do not see the beauty of the tone of the pear tree and the structure that takes shape.20240620_235822.jpg20240620_235955.jpg20240621_000239.jpg20240621_141211.jpg20240621_141214.jpg20240621_141222.jpg20240621_141315.jpg20240621_141902.jpg20240621_141937.jpg20240621_142014.jpg20240621_142123.jpg
I wish all of us a pleasant and enjoyable weekend and that we know peace, tranquility and peace :)
