HMS Diana 1:48 by Modelship Dockyard -Build log

I have already processed the stern, but the bow has not yet been processed because some accessories have not been designed yet, so due to size issues, I will not process it for the time being.
 
The thickness of B is about 3.5MM
This is great to see as many kits have this far too thick. According to the original contract for Artois and her class, including the Diana 1794, (see original contract segment below) the moulded (in and out) dimension was 5.5 inches to 6 inches (2.9 to 3.1mm at 1:48) so yours is much closer than we see from a number of other kit makers.

Your images are very informative and your quality of construction is excellent. I do like the construction method as I am interested in the outer looks and realism as opposed to how it is built.
