Assemble hull and bulkheads

Stitch using copper wire. I slightly rounded the bottom and first panel to make them assemble easier. The transom assembly was extremely difficult. DFM wasn't really considered by CLC and I resorted to heavy .041" stainless steel aviation safety wire to get it to hold in place without the wire breaking constantly. I have no idea how others do it with the copper wire.
