I do learn a lot from your work, thanks a lot!
French war-ship Saint-Philippe 1693 - scale 1/72 - from Lemineur monograph [COMPLETED BUILD]
Thanks Chris,
At scale 1/72, I can use some simplified solutions about the details :

Preview of the next step about down back-stern, more sinple as one of monograp :
A curiosity of Lemineur's monograph : the false windows of stern sides
are greater than the real windows of the back stern, what best can I do ?
are greater than the real windows of the back stern, what best can I do ?
To reduce them proportionaly?,to increase frame width/ or use some fillers around frame?
Here am I in approach of an harmonious general line for the stern side :
Good day,
Now lower ? windows? looks much bigger than upper ones?
Or should it be like this?

The more difficult about these stern-sides is that they create much optical illusions :
O! Clear!
Thanks!
It is difficult to judge how things are only by the pictures on the computer screen.

My Idea was to enlarge the outer frame of the windows - as these we're wooden panels that could be removed for making place for gunnery in battle.
For proportional design:
And keep the hight and breadth in the middle of the single screen of window balanced to the real windows in the back. I would do it with a pair of campasses - copying the starboard side for the starboard quater gallery ins the port one for the portside.
What do you say, Christian?
So the proportiones are still the same - hopefully. And hopefully this does some help to you.

Rear windows are real, and side windows are false, so I think that the monograph has to be be all like followed :
@ iteruim :
New illustration of the difference of size between rear windows (sixteen glasses ech window) and side windows (nine glasses each) :
The more simple would be to reduce elementary glasses from sixteen to nine on rear windows

...or to update it to 16, too. I do think the 16 windows do give the impression of a bigger window - and the illusion of giving more light into the room and a smaller fragmented more baroque looking part. What do you think does look better in your opinion?

Compared lllustration :
Real size after scale 1/72 → 1/1
With a 16 parts windows : each squarred part = 21 x 21 cm (4 x 21 = 84 cm)
With a 9 parts windows : each squarred part = 28 x 28 cm (3 x 28 = 84 cm)

En français, la pensée du jour :
S'éloigner de ce qui n'est pas logique est un bon moyen d'approcher la vérité...

And as allways marvellous work you did!
Good news : the plan's scan and the windows cut are all right,
the windows built would follow this step without any problem :
