What i will do is try to space the 11th port quite close to the side cabin window assembly, as this looks like how they have been laid out, like in the victory where nelson had one in his quarters that was lashed against the side when not in use, and when in action his best and most trusted gunnery men would fire from it. It looks like there might just be enough room just after bulhead 12, possibly not quite centred between bulkheads as with the others, but a slight nudge towards bul 12 might not look to bad, even if not open or cut out it could be a dummy port just engraved with hinge assembly.

Thank you for that hamilton, i have been saving some diagrams and pictures of greyhound and her sisters, and one or two first obvious things i can see, firstly i noticed that the bulwak on the real ship steps down further back towards the mizen mast close to bulkhead no 10, and the mention of there being 11 gun ports on the real ship, i think the missing number 11 port is in the rear captains cabin, just as in many fighting vessels.

Hi hamilton, some realy great work you are doing there, i have ordered mine and await delivery in a few days, i cant wait to get back into period ship buliding again since my last build of the de-ag part build Victory that got asfar as the hull palnking stage and some extra detailing i was putting inside. Your build is an inspiration, as is most other members, and i follow with great interest. C.
