Coming along very nicely Martyn....  .. Can't give any advice on lining the gun ports I'm afraid... simply because it is not something I have done so for now will have to follow your progress and experiences on this particular task..... .. If I was going to advise then think I would be saying simply take your time with it.... Regards Alan

Looking good Martyn I am afraid there isn't an easy way to line gun ports properly.I used a jig on my build to make boxes out of wider material and then shaped to the hull profile.This doesn't make it easier,just ensures all the ports are exactly the same size.Wouldn't recommend it on a standard build though because you need to be able to work inside the hull. Kind Regards Nigel

I have also planked the bow platform instead of just staining looks much better Rgd Martyn Martyn Ingram attached the following image(s): Building ?
