Update: 

 

Installing the stern gallery...this part went pretty smoothly! I think the pre-fitting when I was attaching the lower stern counter (post #92) definitely helped everything fit nicely...below is a photo report of how I glued the parts.

 

 

First pre-fitting the (inner) stern fascia. This is the base that has to look good. Everything measured and worked from there.

 

 

It turned out that the (inner) upper counter fit perfectly in between, which was a relief and confirmation that everything was exactly where it should be. Already tried the nails so that I can later push it into place with gluing.

 

 

 

Gluing was easy and clamping was not difficult.

 

 

 

Then it was just a matter of gluing the Stern fascia in place (it could rest nicely on top of the upper counter)

 

And the result looks nice and straight and good (I think so ) 

 

 

 

Now comes the trickier part...the side galleries that probably need some modification since I have open doors. Let's take a step by step look at how I'm going to tackle it.

That view really shows off your planking at the stern!
