Last summary visual verification of the side windows heights before following wprks :

Solution for equalize all windows : to reduce number glasses of rear from sixteen to nine :

Real size after scale 1/72  →  1/1

 

With a 16 parts windows - each squarred part = 21 x 21 cm (4 x 21 = 84 cm)

With a   9 parts windows - each squarred part = 28 x 28 cm (4 x 28 = 84 cm)

S'éloigner de ce qui n'est pas logique est un bon moyen d'approcher la vérité

C'est parfois vrai, mais souvent la logique prévaut.

Good news : the plan's scan and the windows cut are all right,
the windows built would follow this step without any problem :

Ahh, good news is always welcome. This large spread of windows will be very impressive!

Before gluing and equization, testing enforcements of forst front channel :

Hello Cri-Cri

Quick question, hope you don't mind.   Were there actually slots for the deadeye chains cut into the channels on French ships in the 17th century?  The British had holes rather than slots until 1771 according to Goodwin in The Construction and Fitting book on page 187.  Also it may have been different for the French, I don't know, but for the British the outboard edge thickness of the channel was substantially thinner than the inboard edge.  I am curious to know if the French and English differed on these two things.

Thanks in advance.

Hello Allan,

 

Here the USS Confederacy's channels built :

 

 

and this other built of channels about HMS Royal Caroline ;

 

 

No difference with the built visible about the Saint Philippe  

 

About the general rule, I cannot say anymore...
