good idea with the brass wire, the dowels look too big for the door. i'm as a standstill with mine at the moment due to a slight accident with my craft knife and my fingers. Come on you Jimmies

at this stage of starting the lowest deck I decided to make a ply deck so I could work on the deck outside of the model.the ply used was .06mm and the decking was 4mm. x 1mm. cut out the gunports both sides,and gluing the gunport reinforcement pieces in.
