Hi guys,
Been marking out the gun ports this morning for the middle gun deck, when I got a little confused about the ports near to the bow as (unless I am missing something obvious) the magazine seems a little vague.
Issue 27, step 3: At the bows, draw lines directly against the sides of frames 12 and 13, then redraw the line nearest to frame 15, moving it 2mm forward of the line you first marked.
So the marked line aft of frame 15 is moved 2mm forward (towards the bow I presume?). The only other mention is "dont forget to mark the port against the forward line at frame 15" at stage 5.
There is no follow up to "draw lines directly against the sides of frames 12 and 13" so does it go in the middle of these? Judging by the pictures it seems so but am not sure.
Maybe its me but they do seem a bit vague sometimes!
Cheers,
Tom

Interestingly I've just reached this stage and noticed that the two profile plans provided in issues 23 and 27 do not match. In the former (Port side) the gun ports are show in a different position to the latter (Starboard side)thought the accompanying spiel in both instances suggest that both sides are the same. To Agostini I would suggest that you useless Put-ants try getting it f**king right and generally sort yourselves out before rushing into print whilst blinded by profit margins. thomasmoult wrote:Hi guys,
