Hmm..
I'm enjoying reading your build and have just bit the bullet and started my own build. I've been doing a bit of checking, double checking etc between plans, our own station Mersey (12-29) and the hull and cabin moulds I have - bought from MBD a while back.
Just making and mock fitting the internal beams which necessitated a look at our own Mersey and the plans in terms of the sweep from Bow to stern and I didn't actually notice until now that there is a slight curve upward from midway on the hull to the stern. All H&S went out the 'windy' today at station to get a line look at it whilst on the carriage. It was an interesting discovery. Quite a number of things I didn't notice
In terms of the cabin, I see the knuckle which also has me in the same predicament. Do I also make it all from scratch or, do I try and discover a way of fabricating the knuckle into the current fibreglass mould. Is that going to be an easy thing to do? Do I grind out a channel on both sides to allow a bit of flex in the fibreglass to get it to the angle I need then reinforce or cut the section out and refabricate the angle then fibreglass it back up again.
Interesting decisions ahead

Hi Kim
Thanks for the information. I find out the hard way there was a 'knuckle' when I cut the rear cabin wall for the 'first time' I made it parallel and when I checked the measurements against the drawings I realised it was too wide at the roof level. On checking the sectional drawings I found the 'knuckle' so the rear wall was remade. I would be very interested in the DVD could you please pm me with details on how to pay etc.
