Finishing the sloop's superstructure

Well, you've done a lot of good work and it's time to bring it all together. The next step is to combine all the bits into a single file and finish your sloop. I have made kits of the parts that have been made so far, plus a few bonus items such as sails, a line, a door, and a glass portal. Since your sloop may vary slightly, you can either use what you have made or take parts from the kits. The parts I made are in the download pack. If you've forgotten any of the names of the sloop's parts, check the illustration in Chapter 7, Planning Your Work, Working Your Plan.
