Before continuing the work inside, I decided to finish the topsides on the outside because I want to remove all the bolts that cause me many problems and hassles by cutting the excess coast and finishing on the gunwale.

I finished the gunboats also from the inside I also fixed the sleepers of the castle I also started to prepare the battens of flowers: job rather difficult to prepare, especially because you do not have much space to be able to score perfectly all measures

I thought maybe it would be appropriate to bolt the course of filling at least now that there is still no upper boundary for more space and avoid any awkward shot could damage the belts themselves.
