Mike 41 Posted November 15, 2013 Author Share #66 Posted November 15, 2013 Hi Wacko Joe, Thanks, we didn’t find any kits for this ship doing research for the model but there could be some I didn’t find. I am almost current with the log so there will be a lot more pictures but the posts will be further apart.

Mike 41 Posted November 25, 2013 Author Share #86 Posted November 25, 2013 I decided to line the holes for the lids support rope with 3/32”brass tubing for a neater look.

Mike 41 Posted November 25, 2013 Author Share #87 Posted November 25, 2013 This set of photos show the gun port lid support ropes tied off to cleats at the different gun decks. It would have been easier to install the cleats when the deck beams were installed but I did not think that far ahead.
