Thanks gentlemen. I hope it's ok to post pictures as I go instead of the finished product - of which there are much more worthy examples than mine. 3 strips of the lower wale pinned:  Bottom strip of the lower wale fitted. This was easier than I anticipated   Lower wale complete, upper wale pinned:

Thanks all - I really appreciate your comments. All 4 wales fitted, gun-port openings cut and the holes drilled for the gun-port lids: (I wish I took the time and made a jig to get the holes perfectly square to the gun ports - one or 2 that came out a little skew)  Little jig to assist with supporting the wriggles while marking & cutting:  Cutout of the wriggles complete:

Thanks Mike & Jason! I've started with planking the middle deck, but had to remove all the planks due to a measurement/marking error of the centre-line. Below is a picture of a little jig I built to mark 13mm from the centre-line. I'm temporarily deviating from the official build in order to make the grates narrower as per Son of Bulwark.  Here is the first try:  And removed again
