I got a little bit more done....
All the interior bulkheads ( "Walls" ) are in, and the interior stairwell from the lounge, down to the first deck cabins, is opened. Where that can be seen through the windows, I'll build the stairs and railings, and install them.
I built the ladder from the main deck aft, to the 01 level, and I need to build and attach the handrails to it before installing it permanently.
The bar, is loosely based on the "portable bars" found in many hotels, that are used as "cash bars", at catered events.
It can be seen in this photo, with an HO scale figure standing in as the bartender. In the lower, right of center, you can see the ladder in place. Checking the "Diana_Decksplan", this ladder seems to be the only way to get to the 01 level / bridge, Pilothouse. The crew, must come up from the first deck, to the Fo'c'sl ( Fore castle, main deck at the bow ), walk aft to the fantail, go up to the 01 level, and forward to the pilothouse. ( I guess that "keeps them in shape" :o

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!
