For simulate the glasses, I shall test a fan-shaped paper print

An adapted colors choice must permit a better look, with a sufficient realism and an acceptable working time

New test with blue sky colored glasses (I preview a third one with dark glasses and clear frames like galleries :
It's a vote : what do you prefer ? 1, 2 or 3 ?
The left one (number 1 on my last pic) is colored like the quarter side's windows, dark glasses and clear frames

Good day,
By my test, If all will be made in the same style, will looks better... windows and lantern, black glass- white frames

The killing small detail, can you identify it ?
I hav'nt received my order for guns of second battery, also I'm testing a port-lid prototype :
Question : are port-lids perpendicular positioned, or all like shown on my upper illustration ?

What is the differences between the upper and lower photo?
Usually the lids are appr. 30° up the horizontal, not much higher.
This angle is defined by the maximum possible angle caused and defined by the rope for opening the lid, and here most the location of the hole in the hull through which the rope is going. Technically it will be not possible to open the lid more than shown in the sketches
and
so!?! Wher is your hole and how could be the running of the lid´s rope (do not know in moment the correct english term)

Thanks
I just checked the conetnt of the planset of the Saint Philippe.
The decks are high enough, so that the rope for the lids can be installed relatively high.
and you have several cross sections shown with the lids open - so you have all necessary information there

I have to follow the height part of the gun ports, and the opening angle is automatically given by the wale rail
The result will look effectively like the plans 19, 20, 21 and 22 etc.
