Correct. Everything, so far, is only dry fit while finalizing dimensions, locating on beams, etc.
Once I get all compartments done and get a couple coats of finish below platforms, will start to glue up structures.
Now, working on 3-4 courses of exterior planking around gun ports to get dimensions correct and give extra strength to framing, etc.
As noted earlier, have had to rip replacement planking in some locations, especially the small angled sections between ports. Seems like they are all short as supplied and zero work around except to fab new ones. As I indicated, however, there is plenty of extra material remaining on sheets with all framing removed to rip new planks and allow wood to match fairly well......folks, don't throw anything away!

Just, added. Not really any sanding done yet but planks lay on frames nicely and edges seem tight to adjacent run so I think I’ll be all right.
Some color variance between the 5-6 sheets but that will even out with selective coats of finish when ready.
