Nice job on those floor beams, Oliver. The contrast in wood colors is really attractive.
Thanks Paul. I’ll never achieve your level of precision but I do my best…
A bit more work on the interior. The main floor is installed but I did forget to install the limber boards under the floor beams and now I can’t figure out how to get them installed without taking everything apart! 
I may simply not install the limber boards… we’ll see.
I also got the forward wall and mid-deck floor assembled and dry fitted.
That’s all for now. I’ll chip away at it tomorrow, time permitting.
Have a good evening all!

Well, this is all I’m going to say,
Trying to make parts the size of a US Penney with fingers the size of Vienna Sausages is quite a challenge!
It took 2 days and much swearing to make one little hatch! I must continue to convince myself that this is fun!
Onward, my friends into the breach…

Bravo Olivier
The "fun" is in the challenge, right? IMHO your "fun meter" should be pegged, based on the results you achieve!
Please keep on sharing your "fun" work!!!
Thanks Brad,
The “fun” continues with the aft hatch which went surprisingly quickly, relatively speaking. Only took about a day’s work!
Now on to redoing the hinges for the pump house doors as I wasn’t pleased with my first attempt.

I completed the rebuild of the hinges for the pump house doors.
However, I give up on making the latching mechanism. There is no way my shaking sausage fingers can achieve those small details. So. I’m on to making the deck beams, carlings, and hatches…
Fair winds to everyone!

Et merci encore pour le stl du personnage

Thank You, Titoneri. You have steadier hands than me. Great job on the latch mechanism it looks good and in scale. 
Merci Olivier, mais l’échelle des charnières au 1/36 sont encore plus petites, j'ai pas pu les réaliser. Avec une découpe laser UV ou fibre c'est possible, mais j'en ai pasThank You, Titoneri. You have steadier hands than me. Great job on the latch mechanism it looks good and in scale.
I’ve been working on the the deck beams and got them all cut to size and fitted.
I spent some time figuring out how best to machine all the mortises for the various hatches, carlings, and other pieces that will tenon into the beams. I thought I was being clever in making a backstop with an appropriately curved support…
It turns out that it wasn’t very clever since the cut mortises are 90° to the table and not to the beam’s curve.
So back to the drawing board. I plugged the incorrect mortises and then drew layout lines on the beams.
Chucked the beams into the vise so the cutout area is square and recut the mortises.
So far this seems to work as desired. We’ll see as we move along…
