I am using my USS Confederacy experience of false POF (admiralty model) for this Saint-Philippe :
French war-ship Saint-Philippe 1693 - scale 1/72 - from Lemineur monograph [COMPLETED BUILD]
Today work on back stern with adjustment of its position :
My evening pics, just for pleasure :
Preparing cap-rail of upper back stern of ship :
Cap-rail of back stern done in walnut. It is probably right, because I can put it without glue :
Test of cap rail over the three columns, not glued :

Checking the angle of inclination of the ship's back stern with a self-made wooden tool,
indeed, the whole stern of the boat has its look dependent on the accuracy of this angle :
