I tip my hat to you, with all the work you went through to stiffen the frame.
Looking forward to following along.

Thanks! Spending the extra time doubling all of the frames, adding the dampeners, and doubling the decks really paid off. It was probably 20x the work but the end result is rock solid.

As you can see here, my measurements were correct. The pieces are dry-fit but they fell together nicely.






Now that I know I’m spot on, I can add the internal stair detail, casemate guns etc, knowing that I haven’t made any big miscalculations.

Oh and these photos haven’t been taken at home. I have a lot of down time at work, and this is an unused conference room.
