The mid frame is done. Added also anchor ropes but still have to find their best positioning inside the cabinet.
Ropes provided with the kit look very good so this time there'll be no need to use my home made ropewalk machine.

Working on warehouse cabin top frame and hatches. On the top frame I also made a chamfer that is not in the drawings but I liked to do. The two hatches towards the bow needed a special work to make holes for the anchor ropes passthrough.

Top frame final result. Still have to put in place anchor ropes and glue it on the frame deck.

I noticed that limbers are not present in the drawings, is it a mistake?
