Hello Gary,
I did't had there a special angle, as you could see at my drawing. The green lines are the given measurements, and then I draw the main head rail from the edge of the fore castle to the edge of the hair pice. And then you have the angle and the length of the rail too. The rest is measure. Sorry my english, but I hope you could follow.

Thank you, Michael and Gray, and also all the others for your likes.
The next thing to do should had be, painting the bulwark. But then arose the question, where are the other seats of ease? So I decided first to build the main-headrail. With build in the rail I could see where to build the seats of ease. At least not at the side of the round houses. There is not enough space for them. So I think in front of them.
That is the stand of work yesterday, and I'm not ready with them. Today I cleaned up my winter garden, and tomorrow the windows in the house are my goal. So, at the moment there is not very much activity at the shipyard 😉

Hello and many thanks for your likes and comments
Allan and Jaager, I build the round houses so, because the plan asked for it. I made paper templates for all supporting bows, and they are not really half circles as you may see. Then I planked them, some millimetre more wood to the top and bottom. So I can't see the advantage for a card or paper template or even a sold half circle. And because I work mostly with alder wood, no rain forrest had to be cut down or wasted for them.
I'm also installed a window pane, because many of the models show there a window. May be you could open it. These round houses where reserved mostly for the warrant offices.

Hello Allan,
thank you, but I understand not really what you mean. Where should I better use paper pattern.
If it is necessary I use them, but not every time. At least when I build the round houses, there you may see at the bow a little peace of paper.

Hello,
Keith, then you are only nearly 5 years older then I'm. So, don't think so negativ. But when I think about Corona and the war in the Ukraine, you may be right.
The planking job of the bulwark was't so easy, but it's done. 😰
Next are the round houses at the list of the shipwright. And there we have something unusual. They are not circular, and at the side view of the draught they are narrower to the bulkhead! At the draught for the 1745 establishment they are drawn circular and very small. The only other decks plan who shows them ist the Anson, and there the look like the one from the Tiger. So I think I build a mixture of this, narrower but not circular.

Thank you for the information Mark.
These 60 gunners after the 1745 establishment list where also poor sailers. So they added 3 1/2 feet to the establishment length for future ships. But when I remember well, that was't enough.
If someone is interested in the history of the Tiger: https://threedecks.org/index.php?display_type=show_ship&id=262 There are also descriptions of the battles they fought in India.

Hello, and thank you all for your likes
the oil at the deck did't dry really fast, so I had the opportunity to enjoy the beautiful weather we had the last days. That where the most sunny days since October. Some days before I installed the deck clamps for the fore castle and quarter deck. Today I made then the quickwork at the starboard side

Hello,
today we finished planking of the upper gun deck, the man from the admiralty was very impressed and spend a brandy. We did't tell him, that we mostly forgot the mast holes. 🤫
Tomorrow the painter will oil the deck and when it is dry, the carpenters start with the deck clamps for the quarter deck and forecastle.

Hello and many, many thanks for your likes and comments.
My garden took at least a lot of my attention the last week, so the shipyard had to pause a little. The beakhead bulkhead is now fast installed and yesterday I build the seats of ease in front of the round houses. Today I started with the cat-hats and -tails. I think, the pictures speak for themselves.
