Window frames

A close up of the gold painted window frames completed today. The very thick 'fudged' (padded) sterncastle can be clearly seen in this picture. The sterncastle is only supposed to be 1.5mm thick (the thicnkness of the ply), but I had to pad it out to almost 5mm to get all to fit and look reasonable because I cut the upper hull planks too short towards the stern. It does now require that all the frames and capping (still to come) needs to be made wider as well.

What is the old saying - measure twice, cut once. will remind myself (if there is a) next time.

hello again from Australia, looking at the picture of your sterncastle the top is too high, I had the same problem when I dry fitted it, if you look at the drawings in the pdf file on the disk the capping on the stercastle should be level with the capping on the ships sides, my solution was to trim the sterncastle before glueing it in place, regards Charles.
