Thank you all for the likes and suggestions.

I finished one cabin. It was really a lot of work, but it was rewarding.

The cabin is installed (not glued) to check how it fits concerning the beams of the next deck. The deck planks are 2x5 mm. To provide the 2 mm I used 2 plates (is that the correct name?) that have laser cuts the planks used on the cabin (1×4 mm). And to my happiness, the beams fitted well, as seen in the images.

Next will be the other side cabin.

Cheers till the following posting....

Thank you both !! But it isn't and will never be as the builts I posted at the start. Nevertheless, i am more than satisfied with my achievements so far on this built. And thank you all for the likes.

I have been moving forward with the built.

-Cabins were planked from inside too so the windows views looks nice.
-Knees added. One pair of knees were missing in the kit. I did it from scratch. On the image are the knees that are in the middle.
-also the internal division of the cabins were missing. I did them from scratch too.
-Deck planks added and glued.
-Cabins aren't glued and I will never glue them. The beams of the next deck keeps them in perfect position.
-Next deck beams aren't glued either. I need to do a lot of work on that deck before fixing them.
-Cabins still need "fine tuning" to fit well all along the deck floor. The deck have a small curvature. I need to adjust the Cabins to it.

Well that's all folks for today .... :-)

Have you all a happy labor day with family and/or friends or just alone enjoying a peaceful day !!!

Daniel
