First glimpse of the cabin top/deck

 Today I did some cleanup of the cockpit but I'm leaving it alone to let the resin fully cure before I start meddling with it. Most of all I fitted and glued the port side cabin top longitudinal. The front end looks a bit like it is glued in the wrong place, but there is a thought behind that. I'm hoping it is a correct one :)

The nasty narrow corner where the timber meets the sheer I filled with resin to make cleaning possible in the future. The strips of plastic help keep the goo in shape and make sure I don't have to sand too much. Also no blush is forming underneath.

Nice fit with the shimmed futtock:

A knot hole filled with goop:


... and then I ran out of long timbers. So I made one by scarfing (1:12 ratio) two short ones together :) I think that will be the last one I have to scarf.

To be installed tomorrow.
