Mark,

  Thank you very much!  Yes, she is looking like a battleship now!

 

I have the middle platforms made and installed.

I am taking a step back.

 

I lost a ladder.

 

It went flying and disappeared into lost part space so I am scratch building another one.

I am sure that the other ladder will appear in plain sight tomorrow, long after I make the replacement!
