Pic 1: The staircases are all one height, even though the decks are different heights. They are sized for the promenades and sun decks, but are too short for the forecastle and stern. I connected two staircases together and cut down to make the proper heights.

Pics 2 and 3: The boat decks were supposed to have a railing around them, but only the bow and stern have railing. I used reprints of the railings and strung them together for the boat decks. The painted vents were installed at this point also before the lifeboats trapped them in.

Pic 4: Port view of the lifeboats installed. KP Cecelie only had one boat in each davit, but they were stacked 2 high on Mt. Vernon.
