Will you make the deck planking „Insitu“ (after the falsedeck is finals installed inside the hull) or on top of the false deck outside the hull?

And this picture shows the separeted parts
Thank you Janos for stopping by,I got really busy,and I like it.
Some minor update, I have glued together the two parts of the keel.
Hello shipmates, more progress this weekend, after the glued keel dried I started mounting permanently the bulkheads, using lego as machinist squares.
I like your idea.
Thank you guys for visiting my buildlog and for the nice comments,progress is slow but steady I am taking my time to get the right alignements for the bulkheads to make sure the hull eill be not crooked.
Thank you Pat!!
Thank you Greg,I am sorry its not Lego ,the other brand ,Mega Blocks they are a little bit larger blocks then Lego .
for my Trinidad I have used the lego blocks, but yours are indeed as you stated they are a bit larger, at the next construction I will try them

Hello everyone, more bulkheads have been installed and glued in.
I also used a syringe the squeeze in more wood glue in the gaps, make sure you keep the needle in the water to avoid the glue drying out.
I have glued in all the bulkheads, next, I will reinforce all the bulkheads, you can see all those notches on at the lower gundeck level, I am looking for some 2 mm thick timbers to glue on there.
Not much update, I have just glued in the reinforcing timbers.
Looks good!
