Hello,

I am reviewing my ship so far and have noticed that the 2nd deck toward the stern is not level. It lifts up because the last rib is elevated above the others. Looking back on the design, it seems the last rib does sit elevated above the rest of the ribs and therefore, the beam is also elevated on which the 2nd deck rests on.

Is this correct? Please tell me I haven't screwed things up already...

Hi Steve, it would help greatly if you could post up some pics of your build showing the area of your concern.... The decks do rise slightly as you get to the stern area. Have a look at Stage 16 outlined in the Official Build, you can clearly see the slight rise in the deck....Cool Cool

Regards

Thanks Steve, it looks fine to me... However, it looks as if the deck is not fully seated on the deck supports of the second last rib. The deck needs to be sitting fully on the supports which will give you a nice curve upward towards the stern....Cool Cool
