Are Deck Cutouts Necessary & Cannon Trucks Color
Two questions for my Lady Nelson (1803) build:
1. Are Deck Cutouts Actually Needed?
The LN is a single deck build. Other than the hole for the mast, the deck layout has 4 x square cutouts; 3 x for hatches and 1 for a companionway. Taking Vossiewulf's suggestion on moving one of the hatches to make room to relocate a deck cannon training tackle eyebolt, and in fact move all of those eyebolts closer to the center of the deck, I extended that deck cutout without planning ahead on how t
Here's a pix of Vossiewulf's finished deck:
If you look at the middle hatch, he suggested moving it closer to the stern to allow the the eyebolts and rings to be moved closer to the center, stretching out the training tackle. So that's what I am going to do. Now go back and read my dilemma from above.
VTHokiEE: Thanks for your comments; yeah I will paint one with black wheels. I this it will look better than all red.
