HMS Enterprize 1774 by arban007

That is a very interesting picture. Before I saw this I had it in my mind that the decks would follow and be attached to the internal planking !
Thank you !

You're very welcome! I'm glad the picture was helpful in clarifying that. It's always interesting to learn how things are actually put together. :)

Yes, I remade the crossbeam. There are three reasons: First, I couldn't stand the black carbon deposits on the wood. If I were to completely sand off all the carbon deposits, the entire width of the crossbeam would become narrower, with a loss of at least 0.5mm to 1mm on both sides combined. This would inevitably affect the overall structural layout, and I believe it would compromise the overall harmony. Second, the groove of the crossbeam did not meet my requirements for the model. Third, I wanted to gain some experience for the subsequent construction of the second and third decks.
