I've begun to build the cockpit recess. Essentially what happens is a "flat" (well ... horizontal) section is built up, and then the actual cockpit structure is built on that. Here you can see that I'm about halfway done with building up the recess.

Here's a view of the recess from the rear.

And from an angle.

And from the front.

And another view from the side. I hope to wrap this part up soon, and work on building up the coaming next. If all goes well, I hope to have the coaming built up by Thursday.
