Dear @Maarten, what was your decision on the angle of the masts? The only source I see is the book about RC. And in this book I see two pictures. They both provide slightly different angles. Any opinion on this subject?
The reason for asking is: the angle of the mizzen mast will affect the position on the deck (it will move forward/backward as it will follow the mast). As a result, it affects the exact positions of two parallel perpendicular walls between the too rooms. Therefore, I have to start from the angle of the mast...

The canon ports are getting ready. The Master uses his one "wooden files" (plywood + sandpaper)
Interior walls are also ready in the front of the ship. In our case the front part will be covered by the upper deck (unlike Maarten's RC, where it is transparent), so we do not pay too much attention to the quality of the walls in the very front.
Now we put the nails into the deck

Now, we install the floor for the rear room. It will be ~7mm lower than the first room's floor.
The concept of the rear room will be:
1. It will be visible thru the windows
2. as it will not be possible to open it, the quality of the room will be very low. Rather pictures instead of objects.

Now we make holes for the windows in the aft
BTW an extra layer of planks was added, just to make it more strong

G'day Alex, those are two different ships, the top one is the Royal Caroline and the other is the Carolina Yatch,
best regards John.
hahaha. That's what happens when you do not have time to dive into the project! Thank you, John! I am overstressed with work, and I miss things.
So, shall I take the first picture as a guidance?
Then it is 3.4 degrees!
Here is the device to measure the angle, with the red laser beam (the vertical).
OK, the deck is now perfectly positioned, and we know the exact positions of internal walls, as they stick to the edge of the deck
BTW on the computer screen you can see the Maarten's blog, which is extremely useful, as usual.

couple of pics of the rear cabin interior
Large windows are getting to their places. We put them little bit to the back to let all the carvings take their places. We cut glasses for them already

OK, it's time to apply the color scheme which I chose for the ship: the carvings will be in gold.
For the primer I chose the Vallejo - Surface Primer - 77.660 Gloss Black
For the gold paint I chose the Vallejo - Liquid Gold VAL-70791
These frames were broken several times. We had a lot of entertainment with replacing the elements of the frame.

Maybe you can once more try to upload the pics to our forum - they are no visible in moment
done
windows got glasses.
The Master decided to paint the central figure at the stern in Silver.
During the process of curving this element was broken many times. Quite a pain
The rear part is painted in blue and ready for the carvings to be installed
In the meantime some furniture is being developed. This bookcase was build as a copy of the one we had at home in Severodonetsk (this city is destroyed now) 40 years ago
This is the original picture. Me and my sister. Ah, the Master put the books upside down, haha
