I had to cut the 1/4 inch boards down to 3/16, I don't have a thickness planer, so I had to use my benchtop bandsaw to do the job. I will still have to do some sanding. I also printed the first double frame, the red frame will be glued to the blue frame to make Frame 1.  | ||

However, I don't want to rush it and make a mistake. Well, Happy Thanksgiving to you, Charles, and everyone at ModelShipBuilder! | ||
