Now put some ABS glue on the 5 linking pieces of the central part and re-insert the backboard central
part. Let the adhesive dry.
Once dry, score and cut the right (starboard) central part so that the whole section can be removed.
Fasten 4 small link pieces (small plates) made from scrap material, as per the drawing, to the central
part so that it sits flush and hooks up in the hull when closing the cover.
Now apply a bead of glue to all joints from the inside in order to stabilise the hull and central part.

Now cut out the 4 cover fastening braces. For this, first cut along the wavy lines from the inside and
then the cross lines from the outside. The parts are marked with dots from 1 to 4.
First fit the braces without glue into the hull. The part with one dot is aft backboard, with 2 dots is fore
backboard, 3 dots is aft starboard and 4 dots is fore starboard. Once the parts cleanly fit together, glue
them in ensuring that the glue does not touch the central part.
