I had a lot of trouble getting the gallery to fit!

Each edge is bevelled and even an octopus wouold have trouble holding the 6 pieces on the ship so that a test fit can be done. I tried using liquitape but with limited success. Anyway, I eventually got it looking OK and then adjusted the last two pieces to fit. Then there were some gaps because the floor is flat and the gallery is actually curved. So it was CA glue as filler, sanding to fit, painting, checking, adding some more glue, sanding to level railings, repaint...ugh. Then I had to add wood effects on the inside as well. It basically took me a week. But I think it is acceptable now.
