Looking forward to your build. Are you building her as built, or as she is today, after being refitted by the Royal Navy?

Here is a picture of rib shapes in 1/100 scale. Unfortunetly they have to be bigger and they should show the stern and bow side separately not both on the same drawning. On the second pics You cae see those rib shapes after few changes

Namely the next step, after cuting all rib shapes out of paper, is to glue them to plywood (I used 5 mm thickness). After that i had to cut them. Unfortunatle the blade of mine fret - saw broke down

that is why not all frames on the pictures are ready
