With some trepidation another SD14
I have been looking at the model and the builds for a long time and could not quite make up my mind to attempt it, but here goes.
I am only going to attempt the bow. I don't have the storage room for the whole monster or the chops to build it. The model appeals to my engineering mind because of the completeness of the structure. I feel like the chief engineer on the building project. Two hours in and a lot of slots to cut out. cheers Jim |

This is the first sheet of frames just stuck in, not glued.
And the second sheet ready to be chopped up. As always with slots it is a good idea to make them a little longer than the plans show. cheers Jim |

I am about to start mine in the next few days, all three sections at the same time, in a cutaway format
good luck with your build |

hi all,
I haven't got much done since the last post. This model is as labor intensive as the actual ship. The next sheet has all but the last 2 frames. After that the longitudinal frames and the hold floor. cheers Jim |

cutting those frames out is a slog, especially the midsection ones.

Thanks all,
I do enjoy the slog. All of the frames are fitted and glued and starting on the longitudinal floor supports. cheers Jim |
