Pirate Ship - Hull

I found a discount Artesia Latina wooden ship construction kit in 1:60 scale. It is a chinese war ship from 1500, perfect for my chinese tong pirates. It is about 40cm long, and you built it from little sticks. I used normal PVA glue, a bit slow to dry. But this is my second wooden ship and the epoxy glue I used last time smelled awful.

Onthe fisrt day I clued together the hull frame. Hull is laser cut plywood. Next day I marked the line where I wanted to split the hull.  Yes, I know it probably would have been easier to cut part before I clue them together, but I was so enthusiastic to built.  With big hand saw it took about 15 minutes to cut it in half. Now it stands on its own.
