some of the translations are pretty funny... i'll have to make a list of the ones that seem odd
i decided the way thru the confusion of the interior was to first put in the beams that support the deck
these were cut straight... and then "bent" by hand to match the curve they needed (unlike the real thing i did not have to heat them over a fire
)
i cut some templates for the 6 main frames and used those to glue some blocks to the futtocks
i was then able to shape the beams and glue them in and against the blocks
because the "bending" kinks the paper a little i had to sand down the inside surfaces before painting them
i think all the walls and beams will have to be installed from the bow working backwards
here you can see the outline of the cabinets at the bow
i made a template of the upper deck beams and cut them out to see if there would be enough visiblity thru them
on the side of the hull where i will omit the deck planking... it looks like there will be
so i will be leaving the deck planking off the left side... so people can look down into the compartments
if any one knows of pictures of the interior rooms (there are some in the book and some on the internet... but they tend to be mostly of the bigger more impressive rooms... they would be really helpful
