Brilliant 64 Gun Ship 1690 3d Project

Yes; there was always small archng of the stern, as well as all the decks; none were pancake flat..
A bit late, but, was the round up (rounding) of the decks on French ships similar to that of the English ships? The closest I could find is below.
60 gun English ship 1719
Orlop 2 inches
Lower gun deck 4 inches
Upper gun deck 7 inches
Forecastle 6 inches
Quarter deck 6.25 inches
Round house 8.5 inches

70 gun English ship 1719
Orlop 2 inches
Lower gun deck 4.25 inches
Upper gun deck 7.25 inches
Forecastle 6.25 inches
Quarter deck 7 inches
Round house 8.5 inches

Please feel free to share your thoughts. I often spot simple mistakes in other people’s work at first glance, only to repeat them in my own without realizing itROTF So please, point out those silly mistakes to me.
