Hi Stephan...Sorry to say this, but your gun carriage sides are the wrong way round...the sides with the lines on should be on the outside...not unless you planned them that way mate...great build...keep the pictures coming.

Looks like a production line up and running, looks good. I fill the lines in the carriage sides as they or out of scale, facing them in works just as well. “Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.”

Thanks lads! Jonny, I decided to do it like this because I couldn't find any pictures of lines/grooves on the sides of the gun carriages in Jase's detail packs. Carriages with their final coat of paint:  I got started on rigging the tackle blocks for the 12 Pounders last night, here is a pic of the scale of the blocks supplied to us.   The guns are sitting too high in the ports - I'm leaning towards a combination of filing down the wheels and cutting the slots in which the barrels sit a little deeper
