picture of my home made false gun supports

hello to all. this is my build log of the royal Louis. I had the frames laser cut out and scaled to 1/72 scale from the plans of 1/90. a company in pennsylvania  did the work from plans I sent him. I have started to build her and am working on the1st  planking of the hull. the frames and the decks are in place. the deck planking is maple with a cote of clear on them. so far no problems with anything. made my own holders for the false guns. cutting out the gun ports using a scroll saw blade. will post pictures hopefully this weekend if I can figure it out. terry

• thanks, but I seen those. these just had a thumb screw that screwed to the frame and then another piece that screwed on the plank. they didn't screw into the wood.terry

hi  just wanting to know if any modelers have seen aluminum  planking clamps. I think a company a while back made them. one part clamped on the frame with a screw and then you clamp and tighten the other part to the plank. I think I saw an ad for these in  the ships in scale magazines a long time ago. hope someone can help . thanks, terry

hello to all, I need help in finding pre-cast white metal gunports frames with tabs on the sides for the royal Louis by mamoli. I bought a kit on e-bay and these parts were missing. contacted the seller about the missing parts but he said he doesn't have any or where to look for them. hope someone with knowledge on ships can help me out thanks in advance terry
