Yay, an update! Just finished the semester, so I now have time to build.
The focus here are the six windows that are on the fore and aft bulkheads. A simple reduction of the dimensions listed on the drawings gave the numbers I needed. Used the Chopper to quickly replicate all 12 pieces. The conundrum here was how to replicate the rounded corners on the windows - I posted the
queryin the Q&A section, and decided to first try Darren's suggestion; as you can see below, at this scale and size, it works well enough, though I shied away from make a more pronounced curve for fear of overdoing it. Nonetheless, I think you can see the curved corners in the picture.
