I wonder if one of you kind members could give me some advice please? I’m building the Occre Santissima Trinidad and have reached the point where the false gunports are fitted. The port side fits in the notches of the bulkheads, but the starboard side is a few mm off, as shown in the photo. What would you guys do? Fit the lower edge into the slot on the bulkhead , or mate it to the one above and fill in with a shim?

Thanks in advance.

Ok having thought on this overnight ( yes I probably am over.thinking this), but I feel the best solution would be to lay the false gunport tight up against the upper one and build up the notch on the bulkhead so it sits tight. After all the planking will cove it anyway.

unless anyone has a better idea?
