Nice to have you back, Gventura!
Thanks! Glad to be back to work.
Made some progress yesterday, glued all the frames together, faired and shaped them, and then glued them into place.
They came out much better than my original frames. A couple shots of them dry fitted.
Everything seemed to line up correctly on the dry fit. Some of the frames look out of alignment somewhat but I found that was just because they weren't fixed in place with glue. Onced glued in they all more or less fit like they were supposed to.
The one mistake I made came during dry fitting. I couldn't get the 10th forward frame to sit right on the keel, I though I needed to sand it down to make it smaller. It is pretty small on the plans.
So in accordance with the plans I sanded it down. But now that everything is fixed it place its too short. We'll see what the fixes is but I don't think I want to remake the frame, that's a lot of work for one frame, especially since I'm out of that thickness board.
But we'll see. I'm considering remaking the keel so who knows.

Hi,
I like what you show here very much.
A good basis for an excellent model.
I also built a 1:48 scale longboat for my French corvette some time ago. You can see a video of the construction of this longboat if you are interested:

@Gventura - I am happy to see, that you are back working on your model
I am looking forward how you will solve the problem with the last frame
Sorry for be shortly off topic, but I have to ask Johann alias @archjofo a short question:
Do I interpret this photo correctly and you did not cut our the individual frames, bat bended them over an iron?
Which kind of iron is this?

Oh I will need to watch this, thanks for sharing!
After a little bit of shaping and an over night drying we have something.
The tops of the ribs look all a little uneven but that should be fixable with some sanding and the stability of planking.
Hello Gventura, here is the link to Johann's construction from the German forum. From page 91 or 92 Johann @archjofo starts building the boats, I think Seher is interesting, maybe it helps a little.

Hallo Kollegen, wie in meiner Begrüßung geschrieben, bin ich seit November 2011 wieder diesem schönen Hobby verfallen. Heute möchte ich m

Need a couple pieces to finish the stern.
Thought I'd try carving them down with a hand planer instead of using a machine.
We'll see how it turns out.
Something else I'm noticing is the the final rib in the right may be shaped wrong, it doesn't flow with the rest
Might just need to make a new one of those

It is not only the rib....
- but maybe the rib is only bended, because your horizontal board is too long?

Hallo @Gventura
we wish you all the BEST and a HAPPY BIRTHDAY
Are you also working on your Egyptienne?
I hope to see also there in the other log some updates ..... the frigate is one of my favourites published by ancre and Delacroix

Thank you!
I've been working on the Egyptienne but have been having serious issues with the building jig. When I print/scan the plans they aren't printing correctly. When you compare my printer plans to the originals the printed plans are nearly identical except the bow is longer. I've been unable to fix this issue so I haven't been able to move forward.
I had decided to cut out a new top piece of the jig with a better set of plans that also included the spacing between ribs but found my original board and the newly printed plans were both incorrect in size. So until I can fix this issue it's been on pause.
This longboat is also getting a new stern post I just haven't finished it yet. I started cutting side planks so those are ready once I finish the carvings on the post.
Happy Birthday, Gventura
