Good evening everyone The rudder is finished,although i may just do the top strap again, the spectackle (or however you spell it will be done next time around, when i remember to do the chaser gun ports and chains Gunport lids yes i know she is a 1st rate, i know that cannons are there to be installed, but i had no intentions from the start to show everyone in position, most of the lower lids will be slighty open, 1/2 open on the middle gun deck, some fully open and some shut on the upper gun deck, My reasoning behind this is the sails that is where i wanted to base my concentration on, and lol im still wanting to, at present i am ensuring that the lids are the right size and planking them to follow the lines of the hull. Sorry about the photo's the sun is setting and causing some long shadows (ill tell myself to do better)

good morning imo i would continue down so any gore line would be hidden under the waist of the ship For anyone not understanding the gore line - it is where the tiles down meet the tiles from the keel up, and in some cases you would end up with a row or two of cut tiles to infill - hence gore/scare line, by continuing down this line would be hidden under the belly of the build

i will be following this project with interest, but have noticed that the stringers will possibly hinder any internal work you have planned and they also looks like they have taken quite an acute angle on the bow, thats how it appears to me looking at the photo, all the best
