The braces from the bottom of the main deck to the side of the hull are all done. Each one has to be custom-fit to its location. I'm pleased/relieved to say they printed twice as many as actually needed...
As a side note, I noticed the the deck/hull took a bad warp while I was working on these braces, bowing upward in the middle. I was able to straighten it by putting weight in the middle of the deck for a couple of days. This is the first time I've noticed this happen to one of my ships and I'm wondering if it is a drawback from using laser-cut frames against a regular card deck? We had some big humidity changes and perhaps the one swells more than the other.
Anyway, now work begins above the main deck.
Best regards,
Kurt
