Testing the Fit of the Jeanne D'Arc's Hull and More

Now that I am back into the swing of things, I dry fitted the bow deck with the hull and found the fit to be pretty poor. There is a sizable gap between the two.  The only way to close these gaps is to glue the bow deck into place and then wrap the front of the hull in rubber bands.  Don't add any additional details such as chokes or railings until you carefully fill and sand the seams.  It took me all of this, plus some good old fashion strength and harsh language to get things to line up.
