Re: Bluejacket Jefferson Davis, My first attempt at a wooden ship model
My father-in-law always used to say "Being employed sure gets in the way of having fun!" Well, I am suffering from that adage now. However, I do have the stern piece fitted, a hole cut for the rudder post and the stern post glued into place. I am not quite sure that the stern most frames are correctly cut at the planksheer line. I have clamped in a piece of wood for the planksheer and will make some adjustments to the frames. I think it will be easier to cut those frames with the sternpiece unmounted, that is why I haven't glued it in place. It appears that the planksheers should be fine at the bow. No pics this time. Most of this work is taking place between my ears rather than on the model itself. I will post more pics when the longitudinals are in place.
