Thanks a lot for your kind comments. Today I have finished the deck supports. I decided to add some ramin supports in the "old fashioned" way were the three hatches will be. I felt this adds a lot of extra strength to the hull and deck (I always tend to building "for eternity"
). At the sides I used the styrene supports that come with the kit. The wooden supports were made waterproof by applying aliphatic resin with a brush.
The styrene tubes will carry the anchor chains later.
I glued the deck with cyano glue (thick type). Some photos will follow when the sides of the hatches have been glued to their supports.
