Some more "Gotchas" -- I am glad that I read forward about 10 or more pages. The Ship's Bell Housing will NOT clear successfully the aft edge of the Forecastle. It doesn't... so a little trimming will be needed.
The Deck has "score marks" on it so that you will know where to place items such as gratings, and in the case of the Bell Housing, it doesn't line up with the score marks. I mean, if I were to build the Bell Housing and place it where the score marks are, then the Forecastle will have to be trimmed.
This is what I am going to do--is to trim the "aft edge" of the Forecastle so that Ships Bell housing will be aligned correctly.
I could tell by looking down on Forecastle that the Bell Housing Stanchion where not going to clear, but needed about 3 mm or a little less clearance. So, this can be remedied by trimming off about 2 - 3mm of the aft edge of the Forecastle. Now that the Forecastle will be trimmed a little, then the Bell Housing will then be able to shift forward to sit into the correct place.
If I had not mocked up the Mast placement and the Ships housing placement, it would have been a disaster later on trying to fix these things. This really makes me paranoid about gluing stuff now. But, seriously, just got to be watchful. I guess I am proud of myself for looking into this instead of just plowing forward.
Also, the Forecastle piece is a little narrower and I had to wet the upper hull a little to help reshape (upper hull) where it attaches to Forecastle Deck. Clamped wet overnight and it is now corrected. Not too much - about 2mm on each side.
When all these things are settled down, then I will glue the Forecastle to the hull.
Note: The overhang looks like a lot, but it is not. It is about 2mm. But, that 2mm will make the Foremast have way too much "rake" and will look horrible and not real at all. It will look like a terrible mistake was made. So, I gotta fix it.
