12 With a half round, medium-grain file, file the entire surface of the hull, leaving it smooth and compact. Then, with a fine-grain
sandpaper, finish off by smoothing down the surface. Apply colourless matt finish varnish throughout. See the general advice on how
to apply it. With a pencil, faintly mark the planking 70mm apart. Glue the counter bulwarks 43 inside the bow bulwarks 34.

13 To achieve a better finish, paint the
inside of the bulwarks 34 ivory,
using matt acrylic paint. Fit and glue the
lower edges 44 on the inside of the
bulwarks (on both port and starboard).
43 Glue the support beam 45 in the notches
of the counter bulwarks 43. Then, fit and
glue the deck in the bow forecastle 46 so
that it rests on top of the ends of the
counter bulwarks and inside the bulwarks.
With the battens 47, plate the deck in the
bow forecastle, sand down the deck and
45 simulate planking in the same manner as
in the previous step. Glue the interior
strengtheners 48 inside the bulwarks so
that they are level with the upper edge of
the bulwarks.
