I was wonder if Tomick or anyone who has done the AL Victory could answer a few questions.

Starting with the Beakhead Bulkhead, this has already been planked in our model but the plans and many 100's of pictures show 2 port hatches and 2 doors, along with decorative pilasters with arched mouldings.....will this be modeled in our version?




The next question in the wale's, there is one below the lower gun deck, main wale (waterline I guess, one above the lower gun deck, and one above the middle gun deck gun ports. And looking at various models and comparing with the real thing they all seem very differnt where they rise at the stern.
Are they going to be painted or run wood to simulate this area?







thanks in advance

Thanks for your reply Tomick, I guessed that would be the case but though it worth asking.
