The Camera never lies, well not until you get onto Photoshop  I have to agree Andy,especially artificial light and camera combined.I quite often spot things looking at photos of my own build that I have to address.I think it is also that you are viewing a specific area and your eye isn't drawn by the entire model. Kind Regards Nigel

That's so true Nigel. The eye and the mind are great deceivers, we see what we want to see. Must try harder

Regards Alan Thanks Alan, I think I got the idea of the Maple from Nigel too. I was going to use Sycamore but it wasn't good enough quality, or Holly but I couldn't find any.

Having finally finished the tortuous task I set myself with the Cannon Port lining on both sides. It's time to make some more exciting progress. Firstly I have fitted the Bow Platform. I'm avoiding fitting the Stem until the last possible minute as it makes the model much longer and more difficult to handle. I did not stain the platform, but planked it with spare Sapele strips. There was enough room for the extra 0.5mm thickness, so there was no need to adjust the slots for the Bow piece that sits above. Next I added the 3rd deck supports, a pair of internal dividers came in very useful for this. Before fitting the 4th and 5th deck supports, rather than paint, I glued a sheet of black paper below where the Gratings will be and gave it 2 coats of matt varnish. The small blocks for the front port were also added, just to be sure, I backed these with an extra block, as it would be an impossible repair if these were to get pushed off during the fitting of the Dummy Cannon.

Kind Regards Nigel That's very true Nigel, but it's funny how quickly these chores fade into the distance. Thanks for the nice comment. The Beakhead area still looks ad bit untidy in the photo, it's moved on a bit since then, but I've run out of 1mm lime, so I'm waiting for that before I update again.
