Hull halves glued together. Bottom was very thin and not very stable, so I added plastic sheet to the bottom for strength and a little extra height for diorama setting.
The kit correctly (from what I can tell from grainy B&W pictures) shows the deck at the bow as being a wooden deck. Five Star has a PE deck for the bow, but it incorrectly displays as a metal deck. So, I needed to create a new deck.
