Looks like another great ship yard support frame for the POF build up.
First few frames looking good, I will sit back and watch this one closely.

Current project is the Model Shipways Mayflower II. Getting ready to start the masting and rigging. I am a Mayflower descendant so thought it would be fun to complete this build during the 400th anniversary year of the sailing of the Mayflower.
Nice work James!
Outstanding! Look at the wood grain!
I am in synch with the above statements, great work, and representation of the famous ship! 
Would you consider showing the development process in the build log? Seriously...why not? It is a great way to share your skills with others, and it doesn't have to be from the beginning, though.
BTW, Welcome aboard SOS!!

I am still stuck working on my Fair American. With everything going bad in real life, I have not done anything on it for about 2 years now. I just got an itch the past few days and came back onsite. James, where are you located in Tennessee? I am just South of Nashville.
What wood species are you using in this build? Looks very nice. I also saw in your shop a set of neat plastic boxes divided somehow to hold your various lumber types/sizes. What are those and where did you find or modify them? I am primitive and using empty toilet paper rolls taped to a backer to sort out those for the pending Bluenose build. PT-2
So my turn I have started the Santisima trindad by Occre. my first ship build.Started last spring, but this summer has slowed me down .too many summer things to do. I dont have a good camera....just me cell phone.

Hey all, this is my first build a Bluenose by Scientific which I found on Ebay. Looks like the model is from the late 50's or 60's but it seems to have all the parts. Looking at the instructions they assumed I grew up on a pirate ship but will give it a go.View attachment 171373

Beauty James. I built the Amati version many years ago with full rig and sails. But, it does not look as nice as your!!!
This is my currrent project, a prussian gaff sloop (Gaffelschalup) 1:50 from 1840. Built after plans from 1985/86 based on Modelwerft magazine.

I edited your photos - no problemSorry for this overload, I am learning
Great model you are working here - many thanks for sharing with us - I like the color of your timber very much - especially the deck planking - which type of wood you are using?
It is pear wood, stained with light teak to get a fading efect.
