Keith - this shortcut is the link to the prototype build it also shows a shortage of gun-ports for the bows, i then forgot to rectify it when i found out, i can only presume that the bending of this template to fit would break around the cutout- but it could still have been marked - with a line - never mind, im sure im not the first or last to have the problem lol it does not take much for people to realize that a 1st rate is not for me - i perhaps should have stuck to the Amerigo Vespucci - as i am not displaying many of the items that make up this fine vessel, and i want to display all set sail, when in fact i doubt she would have ever done so, - well not stuns any way http://www.jotika-ltd.com/Pages/1024768/Victory_02.htm all the best - hope you are feeling much better -

good afternoon, apologies for not getting back recently to the builds that i follow, Real life keeps getting in the way i have sorted the two missing gun port problems out, and the lids are kind of ok, bit the fds lower deck one does not follow the shape of the hull very well - ie it is flat where as the hull is curved, they still need to be touched up the two after fenders are in - bit of a pain to get right, - i should off perhaps done it a lot earlier
