With the mainmast done, it is time to work on the mizzen. So here's the dilemma: The mizzen goes through the aft cabin roof. If i drill a hole in the deck, like the fore and main, I will never be able to line up the aft cabin roof hole correctly at a later time. So I have to drill though both at the same time. But I can't install the aft cabin yet, there is too much other stuff that needs to be done first.
My solution is to do the minimal assembly of the aft cabin (sides and roof) and carefully tape it into its final position. Now I can do my drilling, then take the cabin off.

I soaked the waterway planks overnight, then pinned and taped them into position. After drying for a day, they held their shape just fine.

Yes i can. It is a large scale cross-section of the Morgan, at the tryworks. Scale 1/2" = 1' The modeler will build the tryworks brick-by-brick. Look for a release date of around the end of April this year.
