Without a really clear picture of the Bridge Deck "structures".....I used parts of the "firefighter" Kit superstructure, to build the structure around the base of the stack. It's a "best guess".
I've sketched out a "probable" bar, for the area immediately aft of that structure, and will build that next.
The overhead for the bridge deck cabins is a card stock piece. I'm still debating whether to build it this way, or carry it to the full width of the bridge deck. The "Trawler pilot house" works for me. It is a different "look".
Because of all the windows, some interior detail will be needed, especially in the "lounge" / "diner" areas. I'm figuring a hint of furniture ( tables, chairs, etc., and curtains and drapes at least ). I also need to build interior cabin walls to block the "see through effect". At some point in the build, I will have to lay down the wood deck planks on the bridge deck.
The wood railing, on the shelter deck - - ( OK, I'm retired U.S. Navy so,- - -I would call the "shelter deck" the main deck. What they call the main deck, Is the "first deck", what they call the "bridge deck", is the 0-1 level, and the overhead of the pilot house,and cabins aft of it is the 0-2 level ) - - is going to be "fun" , as the "full height stanchions" pass through it.
At this point, I will probably not model the "break doors" ( Port and Starboard from the lounge bulkheads, to the hull sides ).
There is one photo that shows them not installed.

We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
