The model is a basic single layer plank on bulkhead construction. I cut away much of the bulkheads in the center part of the hull and built up a lower deck and planked it so I could leave the main hatch open with a ladder belowdeck.
       
 
This shows the model planked and ready for the decking and bulwark planking.
