Thank you all for the kind comments.

 

Having some fun with chapter 3 already.  Have the transom and upper counter installed and working on fitting the 3/32 thick quarter gallery pieces.

 

Transom installed and centered as good as I could get it.  Spacing from side to side is even and the top of the transom has been rough sanded to fit.  Upper counter planking is also installed.

 

Fitting the quarter gallery pieces to the side of the hull to get the window spacing even from side to side.

 

And a picture with all the window frames in place.  Looks like the window frames sit a little high.  Should I leave them alone or risk cutting about 1/32 off the bottom edges of the window frames to get them centered?  Otherwise they all fit really nice.

 

Friezes are laminated templates I made to check size and placement, just held on with tape.

 

I really need to sand down the finish on the hull and do it again.  The glossy hull is killing me...
