AKERBOOM 1681 after Ab Hoving nominally 1/66 but drawings in 1/64

Hello my dear Friends,

today I started with a doubt in my mind:

Is this cut right? Isn't it to show the edge of the deck? And the same question is certainly for the deck above, too.

I am totally irritated. Can I please get some help?
 
I thought you wanted to keep the lower gunports closed. If you do want to place guns there you might also mount a 'wall' one or two centimeters behind the gunports and attach your barrels there.
 
That is an interesting solution - as with the old Airfix HMS PRINCE! Just better as deeper.

I have learned by zu Mondfeld and before at the NMM guided visit in 1984:

A.
all gunports lids at all decks are open and all barrels run out (deciding for chease guns and transom guns - leaving the most fore and aft' side gunports empty!)

B.
all gunport lids stay closed and guns secured with barrel up and fixed by ropes to position

C.
hull model (Admirality Style) with open lids but without guns and deck furniture (Marshall paintings of Georgian ship models)

D.
hull/block model (simplyfied type) with gunports drawn only onto the hull to imagine "closed lids".


Did I foreget about anything inbetween?

So I did think about version A. or C. If this is possible for a Dutch shipmodel.
