Hi Steve I've just read through the build so far, and may I say what great work your putting into this. The wood effect looks so real and the cannon work is just fantastic. I'm now watching this all the way.

My personal opinion would be 4, or move those 2 one canon over each.

View attachment 290643 I agree with you ken , but my two mentor's dafi and Michael , have shown me this wasn't the proper way , I think French ship's use to do it not English , teach me to go off half cocked on my own LOL , I am trying to do a reasonable representation of the 1765 , [won't be quite up to Michael's ] , but this is how I am going at the moment , most of it is a dry fit .
