Mark and friends, please pay attention! There are ship parts that, when viewed, involuntarily draw comparisons to similar everyday objects. If the proportions on the model are off, the part looks unnatural and odd. This ruins the model. If the detail is related to human life, it is important to maintain all proportions. Modelers often make levers that are too thick to grip, like pump levers, or belaying pins as thick as an elephant's leg. Or they make levers too low or too high.
For example, on the Agamemnon models, the ladders (stairs) are thick and narrow, while on the archival drawings and models, the ladders are thin and wide. Furthermore, Chris Wotton made a mistake with the number of steps on the ladders and their placement.
All ladder dimensions can be easily calculated using a scale ruler located under the ship's keel on the museum drawing.
On all stairs (ladders) you will have 8 steps.
There will be only one ladder on the quarterdeck, the admiral's.
The second ladder (staircase), located near the steering wheel, must be removed: it only appeared on the landing ship design. On the original drawing, this ladder is drawn in pencil. It is not found on regular ships.
