I didn't know that class was to begin. Was I supposed to have a homework assignment done for class? Its been so long since I've been an active member of this forum. Glad to see you back. I get to see a 1/72 SMS Nassau / Westfalen and 1/96 Helena build now. TommyL. |

As the old saying goes 'In like a lion out like a lamb' March never fails to deliver, so hopefully after the cold snap over the next week it will begin to settle down and classes can begin. You'll have to watch out for pirates though Roy |

Hi Everyone, Today we are going to mark out for the keel and frames, I have copied the bow and stern sections, these will give us a starting point for the first frame. I will only be using just over half of the frame numbers, marked B2-1/2, B3-2.B4-4, B5-6, B6-8 up to B14-24. From the stern we have frame numbers, stern a/p, S2-39, S3-37, S4-35, up to S9-25. I put the bow secton down and draw a long line on our flat base board to the length of the model, then place in the stern, this will give us our first and last frame number. Then I mark out all the frames along the keel with the frame numbers.

Hi, It will be plank on frame, or sheet ply on frame, plenty of room for the motors. The beam will be about, 7 1/2 inches, hull length 76 inches.
