Frames Installation:

After the frames are installed on the keel the top spreaders are removed, a bit messy and the hull is sanded.

You are very fast builder - already the hull structure finished - WOW

Elm Tree Pumps

The interior profile shows two sets of pumps, one amidships and the other in the stern section, she must have leaked a lot of water… The photos show the assembly and installation of the well houses.

The floor riders look to give the hull an added sense of strength tying it together. The darker look to the wood is a nice contrast. Nicely done.

Thanks, MavRick.

Wow watching this come together is amazing, seems like I am watching a real ship getting built only in miniature, scratch building is not something I have a desire to attempt so full admiration for what you are doing, great work.
