I have had a lot of problems with the gunports or my Mamoli USS Constitution. This is my first wood ship and I do not have the experience as what I can modify to make things work. I attached my first plank of 5 mm according to the drawing; however, this left a 3 mm gap between this plank and the top of the gunports, so I put in a 3 mm spacer.
Should I move the gunports again so that they are flush with the 5 mm plank? Is the position of the gunports that critical, since there will be another layer of planks over these?
This was my hangup before all my arthritis problems. I want to get on with building this ship, but I am afraid I will make a mistake that I can not correct.
As I am getting over 7 back surgery I would appreciate any help.
