Fitting the Bulkheads

The Bulkheads don't really fit! I have placed them in where the plans direct bu there are some obvious gaps around the side of each.
What I plann to do is use these ply battons, glued to the hull to mark out where the bulkheads go, then once the tops are trimmed down leave in place to 'bulk' up the epoxy fillets.
You can se the markings for the load space that will hold the I-pod etc on the back of this bulkhead


Ply battons in place and secure
Same on the other end

You can see how much of a gap there is. I think that next time I will wait before cutting the bulkheads and meassure the hull shape as the meassurements from the plans do not match up.
I am guessing this is because I have shaped a slightly different craft whilst stiching up.
