1/4 Scale boat plans
Yes the framing bends into place against the jig structure that you have built. It looks as though you have one of the vertical posts in upside down, these should both be the same height either side. If you correct that first, I would then recommend bonding the jig part into place on the boat. The centre post locates into the keel and the deck beam to position it. The bottom bow also secures into the stringer notches in their aft ends. Once you have bonded that in then you can bend in the framing with more support.
This is an early version of a new feature that will be coming to the site soon but for now you can reference the 3D model here to see how the parts should go together: https://danleeboatbuilding.co.uk/temptress-1-4-scale-building-resources/ you should find that model useful.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
Hello here again,
Finally started of with my 1/4 scale build. Looking at the plans in Fusion I noticed some measurements are off ... how is that possible? Will there be any updates on this file?

I'm not really sure what the issue is here? I am seeing a small variation in measurements but you are measuring to 3 decimal places, that could be the difference in picking up one node vs another on one of these lines, especially as these are splines pulled from hull skins. Some of them contain a lot of points. For this scale model I wouldn't be concerned about any differences less than .1mm.
Thought so, it’s just my OCD kicking in sometimes…🫣
