The two half hulls were put together for the first time for checking the fit and to mark the frame and bulkhead position on the port side also.Fitting of the two sides was not bad except the deck at stern wich has a mismatch of a couple of millimeters, but that will be taken care of during final hull assembily.

| First impression of how the finished hull will look. Note double starbord turret position mark: I found with astonishment out that 446 3/4" and 464 3/4" are actually different measurements; in spite of containing exactly the same figures. |

| And one from the side.Those boats had really great lines. |
 |
| Meanwhile I'm working on the outer hull details, may I introduce you the toilet salt water intake grill. |
 |
| And the auxiliary generator exhaust port. |
 |
| From the side. |
 |
| Last but not least the battery vent scoop. |

A very impressive build, Daniele. Congratulations! Can you provide more close-up photos of the hull openings & fittings towards the bow? Also, you're probably doing this already, but brass angles can be bent a bit more easily if you anneal them first. Heating them until they're hot (but not cherry red) will make them more malleable and "bendy". Cheers! --Bob
