1.  The forward bulkhead has the most widows stretching from one side to the other. So to achieve the proper spacing and location I made 6 foot window jigs for every window across the front. Them placed the down working inward from the sides. It turns out I was a little off my dimensions when I got the center. Not a big deal though, I simply spread the error out in the middle window. Then glued them in place again working from the outside in.

2.  Now I glued the top section on and cut to langht. Note the very ends are a little shorter then the other window frames. This is to accommodate the 0.030 styrene thickness for the end caps.

3.   Now you can sand down and fill with putty if needed. Be careful when sanding.

4.   Now all my sides are completed. You can lay them out and see how things are going to fit for you.

5.    Before I glue the sections together, I wanted to make sure I had everything square while gluing. To do this I made a frame from the pilot house bottom peace and the pilot house interior floor peace. I glued these two peaces together with spacers as shown below. So now I had a square box frame to glue all the sides to.

6.    I first glued the box frame to the back pilot house section. making sure it was centered with the wings.

7. Then glue the aft port and starboard wing bulkheads on. Check they match up with the end of the box frame, sand down if needed.

8.    Now comes the fun part, the forward bulkhead with the angles, note the red line we have to match to on the left. What I did here was scribed a line down the entire inside face of the forward bulkhead. I did this at roughly mid way up and the last foot near the top. The idea is to bend the bulkhead at this line to achieve the correct angle. Just make sure you scribe your lines on the correct sides.

9.    To get the styrene to bend I needed to hold the upper section down so it did not break the window frames. I took two old shelves with square edges and weighted them down, lining up the scribe line just right. Then simply pushed evenly down to get the correct angle.

10.   The near completed deckhouse. I now go over things and fill where needed. I will be leaving the roof of till after painting, at which time I will put the windows in and attach the roof.
