Bluenose I - YuanQuin 1:72 - Loracs (in progress)

Loracs, your work on the substructure is outstanding. It will serve as a great foundation for any type of mods you have in mind however be aware of that which Johan @RDN1954 mentioned in post #144 of your build. Certain deck openings are located directly over interior support foundations which you would not want to cover or modify.
 
Indeed, this area is keeping me awake (figure of speech). I'm hoping that I can get by without the support foundation by relying on the ~ 5mm depth main deck beam to anchor the deck structures (making square channels - 4 to 5mm deep with flat bottom). Will have to look closely before committing in that direction. Will keep the option of doing YQ under-platform until I know for sure.
