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....

Looks wonderful !
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 !!!

Thank you guys !!!

Labor day gathering with grand kids was canceled because the youngest (1.5 YO) have a mild cold. And the elderly people, meaning "us" and my parents (90 and 91 YO) decided to avoid any risk. So I worked on the BR.
Did the stair and added an opening with a lid. Some builders did the opening, others didn't. I decided I will do it, if not what was the meaning of a stair that is blocked, at the middle, by the deck.
Here are the images showing the work.
Ok guys... SORRY FOR YOUR NECKS !!!! HAHAHA. Unfortunately, again, the images upload in the wrong position. I think I am understanding why this is happening. All these pictures were taken in the normal position of the phone (vertical). When I upload images captured in the landscape position (phone horizontally), they upload well. Unfortunately, I can't recapture all those images, now that is all glued.
Cheers

Donnie has enabled the attachment editor, readers can use it to rotate the images. I don't think it saves the rotated image for other viewers, only for the reader themselves, but I just used it and it made viewing a lot easier. Look for the Attachment Editor button in the lower left corner of the post.
Thank you for the tip !!!!
Looks like someone (was it you ?), placed them in the correct position. Great and thank you or who did the job !!!!
SOS, is a great place !!
Cheers

I thought it just changed it for me, but I'm glad it fixed it for everyone.
Hi guys
Before working on the next deck I wanted to check that the deck height with respect of the gunports opening was correct. For that I have to partially assemble the corresponding cannon. And YES !! the deck height is fine. See images.
Cheers !!!

Looking perfect Daniel. Funny coincidence as I did the exact same cannon test this week.
. Cheers GrantThank you Grant. I was happy that the cannon is fitting... for now... HAHAHA. Let me finish the deck and we hope for the best.Looking perfect Daniel. Funny coincidence as I did the exact same cannon test this week.
Thank you for all the likes too !
My small update:
The mainmast beams were installed and glued. The beams are precut in the kit, but you need to draw and cut the slots in the deck transversal beams that will support it. It ended very well (for my standards). For the slots I used the proxxon mini mill.
The unstained beams aren't glued yet.
It looks wonderful !
Thank you Jeff !!!!
Hi guys, yesterday and today were productive modeling days. Something concerning my house internet equipment broke and the tech service can only come tomorrow. 2 evenings without watching TV so I used those few TV hours to work on the BR
What you will see looks easy, nevertheless it was a lot of work. But no regrets at all. This kit is challenging and very well developed.
The upper cabins deck beams assemble has been finished. Something to pay attention is the beams thickness. The transversal beams, that are 2 glued together have different thicknesses. So be careful to pair them correctly. Moreover, based on the thickness they go in different places. The kit drawings show this very clear. See my last 2 images for this detail. I added a few deck planks to show what I meant. If those double beams are placed correctly, the deck beams seat flat against the thinner ones. The image shows it.
Have you all a good night !!
