The Fram by Occre

The Fram was the first model I started with in the hobby. I've been making slow, but steady progress.

The attached images are the progress I've made in the past month or so; I don't work on it daily

I had to make some minor adjustments from plans - the bottom attachment was filled with super glue and no matter what I used - acetone or isopropyl, I couldn't clear it, so I drilled up from the bottom and inserted a long wire connector. I like the look of this approach but it's not per-instructions.

Behind doorways to below-deck, there was a gap (I have to assume when I was laying the floors, I made them a bit too wide), so I had to put those strips behind to cover it...looks like it belongs

Some larger images to be able to zoom in.

I had started on the row boats, but set that aside for now

I've made some decent progress - I don't work on it everyday, but I try and get at least 5 hours a week on it while I watch TV after work
