HMAV Bounty 1:48

I'm starting on the cabins on the lower deck. Should the cabin walls be perpendicular to the deck or glued to follow the curvature of the hull?
The plans aren't clear.

Thanks

The book "Anatomy of the Ship" on the Bounty (as I suspected) shows the walls following the curvature of the inside of the hull frames.
I think if you look for a wall that goes athwart the ship and butts up against the exterior, you would find the curvature you are expecting.

Thanks for looking that up Jeff. You must have an extensive library!
Here's a photo of the wall (pre-paneling) that shows the curvature.
I will try and get the wall in question as close to the shape of the curved hull as possible. But it may be an issue with the paneling already glued on.
