Thanks Boats. Yes, I used "Sketchup" to design the frame pieces. I numbered each part to help eliminate errors. I enjoy using Sketchup, and will continue to use it where possible.

it is always a pleasure to follow your constructions from scratch and it always amazes me to see how much documentation you can gather on subjects so distant in time. I then discover with pleasure that there is something that unites us: the use of sketchup

Best, Nando

03 – Hull Frame

Thanks Nando. I am still learning sketchup and I use it primarily in 2-Dimension mode.

With the upper hull frame finished, I went to work with the camera getting some bow and stern views to show. She appears to be straight, with no problems to report. So images 19 and 20 show the first transverse hull plates (card) being installed. This will be the first layer. The second layer will be smaller plates (paper) installed parallel to the keel.

I borrowed a nice photo from the website “Navsource” showing the construction of the launching ways for Connecticut, at the Navy Yard in New York. Even at this distance, a lot of excellent detail can be seen in the two battleships in the background: Navsource identifies them as Kearsarge (BB-5) to the right, and Maine (BB-10) to the left. Note: the “buff” paint on the forward upper hull of Maine causes me to be suspicious. It looks the way cruisers such as Brooklyn were painted. So I am not convinced that ship is the U.S.S. Maine (BB-10).

Regards,
Mike

Mike - Your skeleton hull mounted on its wooden base looks graceful and beautiful.

Thanks Don and Shipbuild.

I did a bit more research on the photo (see below).
The arrow indicates the buff paint on the bow, more indicative of a cruiser.
I circled what appears to be a side mounted turret.
The Maine BB-10 did not have one of those.
Mike

Yep. Brooklyn could easily be mistaken for a battleship.
