Thanks Kevin and Knife,


The bottom is finally on, hundreds of tabs to glue down.
I am not particularly pleased with the result, it is kind of wrinkly.
This is entirely my fault. The model is computer designed and seems not too tolerant of sloppy cutting.

The cause was the side pieces (part 134) ended up being bowed out.
I think that this is because the tabs weren't going in all the way.
I would advise others to cut the throats between the tabs extra deep.
Also get both parts 134 in place before gluing anything.


Anyway now it is on to installing floors (decks).
cheers Jim
