more fun
as we get deeper into the hull interior
i cut 2 copies of the plan, one of the floor and one of the deck beams to make sure i placed the deck beams so that the hole for the mast would line up with the one in the floor plans then i started cutting the first wall piece only to realize that i would need to put the cross beams for the deck in first |

and that
was only the beginning
i then realized i need to put in the plank on the inside of the futtocks so i made some planks (sorry, fuzzy) and painted and glued them in |

down to
the details
this got tricky, because so many of the parts depend on the positions of the other parts... so what to build first in order to size the next part.. and yet still leave room to put the next part in i cut the walls for the sleeping chambers, and then added a covering of card to give the sculpted effect around the edges gettting the sleeping chambers glued in was fun but nothing compared to fitting and glueing the little floors of the chambers between the wall and the hull |

thanks elliot
a little progress and a little mistake
the bow cabinets and their doors not much detail in the drawings...so i made some of it up it turns out i had the hatch timbers set one beam to far back so i pulled a beam out and then broke the 3 beam section loose i've trimmed the ends and will now reglue it in place paper is such a forgiving medium |

more cabins
and bunks and walls
first a bench across the front then a little bench across what will be the back then the back wall then make the paper patterns for the sleeping cabins on either side of the back wall |

sleeping cabins
on both sides of the fireplace
(should be nice and warm) i had to make the entryways a little narrower, so i pieced in the changes they get covered by the card face pieces its hard to keep everything crisp and neat (at least for me) working in such tight quarters on a "cut to fit" basis sort of like building a ship in a bottle |

|

and now
for a few knees
i'm only putting the knees on the side of the deck that will be left open (cheating, i know) |

the skeleton
in the attic
i found my "standard' skeletons, and reduced the 1/48th one to be just about 5 ft tall he has room to stand under the deck beams but it looks like he'll have to curl up a little to sleep in the bunks you can see here that i keep reusing templates, gluing little extensions on them and recutting them to use them for the next panel |

getting deeper
and deeper
here is the plan and profile of the fire place but before i can start on it i have to put in the heavier beams that brace the mast step, and the step itself the hole should probably be square rather than round some of this i could not find good information on... so i just pretend i'm building a ship and make it up |
