Brad, the chest and wardrobe look pretty straight forward, but the framing around the panels was the thinnest wood veneer. You only had to breathe and it would break. If you look closely at the right hand side of the chest you can see I had to make a repair…
Now on to the stern. The deck for the area behind the cargo hold went in OK in the end. The kit has plywood templates which you fit and trim to size. The framing and planking are then made based on this and hopefully everything slips neatly into place. I had to do small amount of trimming on the sides, particularly aft, to get the deck to the right height as there are two walls port and starboard which finish level with the deck beams.
The are octagonal openings for the bilge pumps. There’s little room for error as there are deck frames and carlings on either side of each pump, but again I seem to have judged things OK and everything will fit.
Kind regards

Nice precise modeling, Salty. This is a great looking model done really well by others. Yours's will be another excellent outcome.
