Toys for boys. Old boys use computers, small boys need other toys Variation of midship section of Handy size BC cargo ship https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4912458 intended to load general cargo (GC). Hold is box shaped, without wing tanks, hatches are large and stowing the cargo is easy (except fore and aft area - crossdeck - here spreaders come handy https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4899733) For crew this kind of holds has disadvantages, because very narrow area of the deck on port and starboard side. Transport of anything from superstructure to forecastle store (usually largest store for deck equipment) is a challenge. Also crossection changed - additional stringers were placed at end of coamings - first to blind remains of wing tanks, second to reinforce coamings area. This solution is also used in BC(bulk cargo) designs. I omitted it in former design, but it comes back. Reality is cruel. I forgot to add holes in the stringers allowing bulk cargo (grain) to fill fore and aft parts (sorry). For the rest of explanation read first design description it is made in not published version 5 of Template Shapes_Text https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4863092 (CSV code compression). Code of midship section with compression to CSV consist of 42 lines. For crossdeck mod 4 lines were added/ total 72 lines. With standard OpenScad commands probably 3x more template code will be included in next database release
