i'm afraid the ship might get too (top)heavy so i decided to scratch build the superstructure with foam plastic sheet instead of countless timber parts it's a 3mm sheet with a really smooth surface - easy to cut with a knife, but stable enough and extremely lightweight never did that before, hope it works..

Very good idea of using a foam board, Markus. This lady is giving you some hard time I see, but nothing you can not to handle... as usual!

From what I translated of your instructions manual, scratch build is going to give you plenty of fun... Far beyond your expectations!
