This is my first build. I have my false keel sitting in a jig made off right angle brackets. My problem is with the frames. If I put a straight edge over the frames from 5 to 21 all of the ones between them are about 1/32 " lower. I would like to ask one of the experts is, are the lower frames correct or, are the higher frames correct. What is the reference point that I should be working to.

Thanks for the info, but i'm a bit confused. Do I raise the frames in between 5 to 21 up to them or do I lower 5 and 21.

Hi Syd, Just make sure all the frames up to frame 21 are fitted to the bottem of the keel (including rib 22 when it comes) and the top level of the ribs will be correct. As Mr T says rib 26 (when it comes,) will not sit at the bottem of the Keel it will be approx 20mm higher  Regards Mike MWG BUILD DIARIES: HMS VICTORY, SOVEREIGN OF THE SEAS, SAN FRANCISCO II, HMS HOOD, HMS ENDEAVOUR LONGBOAT, HMS VICTORY X-SECTION, 007 DB5, NISSAN GTR, CUTTY SARK, RB7, AKAGI, BARK HMS ENDEAVOUR, HUMMER H1, MITSUBISHI ZERO.
