Here am I testing the height of guns in order preparing following works :
French war-ship Saint-Philippe 1693 - scale 1/72 - from Lemineur monograph [COMPLETED BUILD]
There is a technical problem with adding new pictures this afternoon...
We know - and we are working hard to solve this problem - Sorry for the inconvenience
At scale with upper parts of frames (1.5 to 3 mm from up to down) :
Preparation of a pattern for back-stern and windows configuration :
The stern will be a lot of work .... I am looking forward to see the progress 
First step : the form of stern is right into its prepared place, it was'nt evident :
Following works about the back-stern :
Back-stern completed :
Back sterns of S-Philippe and HMS Prince, same scale, both at end of XVIIth century :
Curiously, I recognize in that back stern a pure baroque style
like classical a facade copie of a contemporary french palace :
It’s quite different from the Dutch or British ship's ornaments

I found how to make right the gun-ports : I've removed false futtocks, and
the rebates will be added indoor, with 0.5 mm of excedent, then the ceiling
planks can be glued at the same level, giving three mm side of ship deepth :

Sunset evening pics :
Testing about the pattern for balcony of the great cabin, it looks fine :
A simulation of upper back-stern figure, with a correct 1/72 scaled copy :
I've to choose, either a self-made fabrication, or to buy an out provided 3 D realization

Maybe you try it by yourself first - and if you realize after some time, you can still contact and order from a specialist.A simulation of upper back-stern figure, with a correct 1/72 scaled copy :

But do not forget - there are a lot of carving works necessary for the complete stern ......
Hi Uwe,
I've soon made a visual status of necessary adds-on, and the list shows a first group of ten items :
Some of these elements could be simulated with pictures glued on the wooden support, it's
depending on tarifications, I have send a mail about this question to a provider of 3D prints
Best regards,
Christian

Start to carve yourselve often it is easier then you think. Secondly you can use modellers clay to make them.
First upper gun wale of ship's boat done (to morrow, same work about other side...) :
