I think both were and are still valid ways to show the 9 .Very beautiful build!
Since the thread is not made by the builder himself I take the liberty to ask a question about this part:

It is in no way critiscism but only so I know when I - hopefully - some day comes that far with Alert myself. I have searched the net but did not find the answer. Does anybody know exactly when the change in roman numerals happened so that 9 was no longer being written Vllll but lX (subtracting l)? Or, if no exact time, was it before or after 1777?

The original intention of kit design is that I only provide the most basic model architecture,Each producer adds details based on the information collected. so that everyone can make different works and make them more fun。Hello Trident Model. Thank you for trusting our opinion. But...as many of us will build this kit, most likely each of us will have their own.
Some guidance are generally available base on contemporary models.
- plank only one side (port or starboard)
- partially plank from each side (port and starboard) where the gun carriages mounted
- leave the desk unplancking at all. In this case how are the guns will be mounted?
Personally, I prefer to plank on one side, but this may be change during the construction process.
Thank you very much. Your advice helped me a lotPartial decking would look good I think, leave open where needed to see below.
This looks pretty good to me. If building without full rigging. the hull architecture is most interesting interesting and should be revealed. How best is subjective giving an overall impression.View attachment 161028View attachment 161029View attachment 161030View attachment 161032View attachment 161033View attachment 161034View attachment 161035View attachment 161036View attachment 161037View attachment 161038View attachment 161039View attachment 161040View attachment 161041View attachment 161042I am discussing with Speedrun whether the upper deck should be retained. If the upper deck is installed, the lower cabin will be invisible. Do you have any comments? I need your opinion, thank you.
I agree - when a model will be without masting and rigging, it is getting more and more important, that the "architecture" and structure of such a ships hull is made well and precise - so beams, carlings, ledges etc. should fit as good as possible - if you are looking at such a model the focus is going immediately to these details, and if there are imperfections visible ......This looks pretty good to me.
