Who knows ? here rises the question... the downleading stairway (not shown here yet) from the Quarterdeck will be landing between capstan and the next downward starcase, interferes full with the gundeck capstan, if it should be operated with 360 ° turn. does the Quarterdeck stair have to be fitted moveable with hinges, for instance to be hauled up against the Quarterdeck from beneath, to allow full capstan operation ? Nils The downward stairs from the Quarterdeck interferes full with the capstan Operation....

Thank you B.E. I`m hesitating for putting on the quarter deck and the forcastle deck because the guns underneath, as well as the anchor rigging would have to be installed permanently before. I think I`ll do the anchor- messenger rigging next, when I get the appropriate ordered ropes. Also the upper bulwark portions of the welldeck and the swivel gunposts Need some attention Nils

Thank you Popeye, due to the fact that there are only 4 gunlids shown on the plan and therefore done, it was not much extra effort to make them moveable, it was a bit tricky in soldering those mini-hinges Nils

Thank you very much Jason, I like your comments and thanks for following this build. I have`nt looked into the Amati plan for some time now, because I get so much Inspiration from builds of other members, and then there are so many ideas I would like to intigrate and that are not shown on the plan. I wish you much pleausure with your own HMS Snake model, it is a fine built vessel Nils

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
