Nice work Roeland. I like the way you have treated the cutout. The transition from planking through ribs really works well. Kind regards, Garth "Measure twice, cut once!!!"

Playing around with a entire gun crew for a 24 pounder. It looks to busy inside the hull - perhaps a consideration for the quarter deck.... Roeland attached the following image(s):

I thought the crew was moving between guns....I don't know if this is correct?

But as it goes live takes over and if it was not for the fact I got retrenched and took early retirement I would not have the time to indulge in this model. The 3 x 32 pounders are now in position.

To allow views of the upper gun deck I decided to hoist in the launch. I had to use a bit of imagination as there is very little available on this subject matter. To avoid too many crew on the deck I decided that the yard and stay tackles would be hoisted in from middle deck; using the capstan.I will still add supports for the yard from the top pendants and the guy ropes will be guided from the quarter deck. The imaginary scene would depict a tactical retreat - with boats hoisted and guns fired at the enemy. Roeland attached the following image(s):
