31 Glue the central wardroom, the storeroom, the two cages and the two stairs on the bridgedeck. Glue the mizzen masthole 155, and around this
make five holes 0.8mm in diameter to fit the eyebolts 109. Make the holes indicated in the photo to fit the four boat davits 238. With the 2mm
brass straping 238a, make the hinges for the boat davits and fix the boat davits to the inside of the gunwale covers with the nails 26. Glue the bitts 110
to port and starboard. With parts 239, 240, 241, 242, 243, 244, 245, 246, 247, 248, 249, 250, 251, 252, 253, 254 and 80 build the wardroom on the

a 4mm-diameter rod, cut the pieces to make the barrel lids 260, and glue them as shown in the photo. Make the barrel handles 261 from
the 0.5mm-diameter brass wire. With the parts 262, 263, 264 and 26, build the two doors for the bridgedeck wardroom. Glue the skylight and the
battens forming the sliding door on the hood 265 of the bridgedeck. Following the measurements indicated, make 1mm-diameter holes to fit the
belaying pins 117 for the handrails. Insert the handrails 118. Glue the barrels 259 and, on both sides, make 0.5mm-diameter holes to fit the
eyebolts 93. Fasten the barrels with the lashing 266. Glue parts 114, 115, 267, 268, 269 and 270. With the parts 271, 272, 273, 274 and 275, build
