Hatch Frame Complete, the Teardrop Gets Closer

I just completed the hatch frame after a few weeks of random and sparse construction. I'm just trying to figure out how big of a spoiler to bolt onto the thing. I'm kidding, of course. I'll post some build progress photos below.

I still need to do some fine tuning and trimming so everything lines up nicely, but it's very close to skinning the outside. I'm toying with the idea of skinning the inside with some type of fabric for weight savings. I'll have to brainstorm.

I also finished the polyurethane on the galley drawer faces and doors. Three coats on all parts should suit this application well.
