All caught up.

The lastest installation is how I put made the deckbeams, all 18 of them.

As you see I cheated by using the stock deakbeams as forms for the new ones. I knew that the curvature would be off, what I didn't count on was that the beams would spring back further than I thought. All the beams I made will now have to be faired out to meet the stock ones. Next time I would go ahead and build a correct form with a radius slightly smaller than the stock beams.
