Framing the Boss (Patreon)

Not much to say at the moment since I still have a lot to do in this area, but I'm making progress in the more complicated structural elements for the shaft tunnel. There are a lot of web frames and bracing to take into account. I've also made good progress on the boss frames, which are special short sections of framing that bend round the inside of the propeller bossings and attach to the main frames.

While we have lots of great iron plans that show this area, the best of them is a frame-by-frame plan of Britannic which has many differences from Titanic and Olympic. As a result, I've had to reinterpret some parts to fit Titanic.

I'm very much looking forward to working on the more conventional areas more amidships and on upper decks. This area is going far slower due to how much stuff needs to be figured out and the complexity of that stuff. The curves alone are a nightmare.
