good work

sounds like you're doing fine.

for me the hardest part of the hull is putting on the plating over the bulkheads, trying to get it smooth and even

most people do some sort of filling in before they do that, to have more support to glue the sections of hull plating to.

if you look at various build logs you'll see different approaches

my latests system is to make a copy of the hull plates and then glue it onto heavy cardstock... then i shape and glue the heavy plates... trimming them so they sit inbetween the bulkheads... when they dry I can sand them down and have a more or less "solid" hull to glue the real hull plates to... but as i say, people use many different methods

keeping posting as you work and i'm sure you'll get lots of encouragement and suggestions.
