Deck side houses fitted along with their door doublers:

I noted previously that the hull sides tapered inwards slightly, and wondered at the time if I’d made an error when fitting the sides. I had seen this in older, wooden warships, but not that I could remember on iron ones. I was pleased to find that the deck side house ends were also angled to match, so it appears hull construction was correct after all. Phew.
That completes what I’d call the main hull assembly. Next will be superstructure.
