I’m not sure … are we talking about the same thing? Here’s another picture. I’m talking about the snake like profile of the side of the firewall, leaving quite a gap to the hull. That must have a purpose. Or?
Just curious, trying to understand ship building.

My Dear Friend
If you mean the snake-like line on the right side of the bulkheads, they were created intentionally so that someone looking at the model from the open side could get an additional perspective on the details/internal parts of the ship.
I was inspired by our friend Marslav who does an amazing job with the model he creates.

Good evening dear friends
In the resent time I prepared and installed the lower deck at the back of the stern.
I decided that the deck would be partly solid and partly exposed to allow the viewer to observe the internal parts.
Before installing the deck, I prepared the entrances to the various openings along the deck, and here too I cut an internal step onto which the opening frame would be fitted with a matching step.
I am happy to share how I created the opening frames:
1. I prepared boxwood strips 2.8 mm wide and 1.4 mm high.
2. I cut the 4 sides of each opening to the required lengths.
3. I used the mf70 to mill two counter steps with a depth of 0.55-0.6 mm.
4. I glued the 4 ribs in a way that maintains 90 degree angles.
5. I created the various covers for the openings.
6. I made final adjustments and adjustments and finally installed everything in the openings that were prepared in advance in the deck.
I hope that the photos will faithfully reflect the beautiful results in my opinion, despite the relatively small scale, because the photography capabilities are inferior to the creation of the model.
Good night dear friends

Hello my dear friends
In the Last week there was no significant progress in my construction,
however I am happy to share with you the results of the work of a good friend of mine from the group in my country, who specializes in cnc.
About a year ago I purchased from Hook Bernard his designs for the exterior decorations of the ship.
in the last week my friend brought me the first part of the work done in boxwood and I admit that the result made me happy,
so why should I keep it to myself, therefore I share my happiness with you!
I wish us all a pleasant and happy weekend

Good evening dear friends,
I haven't posted an update for a few weeks, so I'm happy to share with you the latest progress.
During these weeks I was on summer vacation and a bit sick / with the flu and a sore back, but I'm happy to report that everything is fine and I've even finished preparing the parts of the lower deck in the center of the ship on its various parts and installing them satisfactorily.
The process is very similar to the previous decks, so I won't bore you with the details, so enjoy the pictures.
tthanks to all friend how sending kind feedback all the way
I wish us all a pleasant and not too hot summer vacation.

Amazing workmanship Shota! Magic Mike
Beautiful work !
The eloquent curves you used to expose the deck beams are wonderful!!
I love the temporary plank you used to perfectly align the "floating" metal knees!
Thanks for sharing such great photos of your excellent work.
PS: Glad you are feeling better after your vacation.
