Welcome spider , it,s always advisable to read the instructions well in advance of the stage u are at. i,m not familiar with Mamoli kit or the instructions but from experience kit instructions can sometimes be a bit basic , search the forum for similiar builds and any questions they don,t answer ,just ask ,, lots of willing helpers here . It looks like your lower decks will be fitted with only the cannon barrels ,no carriage , which is simple enough , . The upper decks will prob have complete cannons , but u still should have room to fit them . I would be inclined to finish the hull planking before fitting to many small pieces on decks as they may get damaged in the planking process , good luck with the build and may all your problems be small ones !!!

Hi Mike , i,m not sure there is a fixed distance , as i understand the distance would be shortened over time as the rigging was tightened , i could be wrong ? in a few examples i looked at the space seemed to be about twice that of the deadeyes themselves , eg if the deadeye is 10 mm the pace should be 20 mm .. Personally i think it more important to have them all spaced the same be it wide or narrow , hope this makes sence , Others may have a more specific answer .,,

Mike ,, i forgot u are in the highlands aren,t u ??? good excuse to batten down the hatches and get some peacefull buildin time . Believe it or not a neighbour of mine was cutting and baling silage this morning (, if u know what that is ?) it was a field that was to wet to get on since last July , this is the first time the ground has been hard enough to get machinery on .It,s just startin to snow here now but i think we will escape the worst of it .

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.
