No, that is an area called dead wood where your hull planking will lay on top of the piece you're showing and butt into the stern post. At this point all you need to be watchful for is sanding from the reference line, laser burn line to the knife edge run out.

Thats fantastic Ted, that's what modeling should be all about. I suspect we all try at one point or another to translate our professional carriers into our modeling aspirations. The types of mistakes I have made in modeling with all the do overs would never have been tolerated in my professional carrier. As s a senior survey manager I was responsible for all our precast concrete bridge beams (very expensive) fitting correctly on top of the bridge bents that I laid out. Never had a situation in 40 years where they did not fit. Stay with it we are here to support you.

I can't think of the number of times I've relied on our surveyors during construction. It's impossible to build major structures in today's age without you I slept well at night knowing the surveys on shoring piers and deck elevations proved correct.
Thank you for the encouragement

Thanks, got it

Part 21 glued to the keel. Sandwiched between two glass plates.

 

[Ted Robinson]

Broke the tip off part 21. Don't know when it is the ether. Luckily I noticed it and was able to trace the part to make a duplicate prior to having glued the other side

 

[Ted Robinson]

First outer half of the keel glued and between glass.

 

[Ted Robinson]

Had you install a wedge to hold down the chamfered edge.

Hi Ted. 2 points for you attention:
Be sure that the bevel at the parts #18 have a smooth transition to the deadwood.
Be sure that the bevel on the top of the parts #21 (it is #20) is on the inside:

The bowsprit is laying inside that |\_/|
Regards, Peter

I was waiting to chamfer part 20 after it was glued in place. I totally missed part 20. Which side chamfers the top or the bottom

 

[Ted Robinson]

I meant missed part 21. I'm trying to figure the best way to put in the bevel now. Should I unglue the part or do it in place.

 

[Ted Robinson]

I'm setting the model aside and dedicating the next day or so to studying the plans.

Part 21 in post #108 has a left piece and a right piece. The red line showing from Peters picture shows what direction the tiny bevel at their ends goes. This bevel If I remember is already made for you.

I've got that part. I missed the bevel on part 21. I've already glued it to the starboard side. Should I attempt this bevel in place or remove it first

I would not try to remove it. The other side bevel will be reversed as well when you glue it on. The nice thing about working with wood is you can glue extra wood on then sand it down to where you needed it in the first place. You know, just glue a tiny piece on then sand it down to the correct bevel.

 

[Ted Robinson]

I'm confused. Which way does the bevel go, up toward the deck or down to the bottom of the keel I can't find a section in the plans

 

[Peter Voogt]

Hi Ted. I was just typing:
About the bevel on part 18: perhaps this pictures gives the answer:

About the parts 20: when you have glued it already, you can give the bevel then also.

Or this picture:

But here the rest of the parts are installed.

Thank you I believe I finally understand

That a good idea, take your time, got the translated manual and the plans. Spread them on the table, have a coffee or a nice whiskey, relax and start. Look always a few steps ahead and starts with a chapter when you understand ‘the why’.
A confessions: I walked through the complete manual and plans before I started. Some parts of the beginning have influence on later chapters.

Here you can see that later, on the planked side, the lowest hull plank fits inside the deadwood area. The next planks above need to flow over the bevel of part #18 and got a flow up to the pointed tips of the frames on the keel part:
