HMS Agamemnon by Caldercraft

:)Not at all
The belts were not supposed to be repeated, and they were not mirrored, and the joints were not supposed to match...

Do you only use one template for every porthole?

The port holes edges (surrounds) should be covered to their edge by the planking

Too late now but for next time

uIf ats a double planked model Plank straight under the Gun Port And then fill the gap above and below with 2 timbers
ie use the gunport surround to act as template to cut too
Mosr ports are the same size - look on the plan


Looking good otherwise

Not sure exactly what you are referring to. :( The photos above do show the planking ending at the edges of the ports. The planking covers the sill on top and sill on the bottom as well as the frame on each side that make up the port. It does not cover the stops which are recessed and were about 1.5 inches thick. On Marc's model I believe the red pieces are the stops as they are recessed. These were found on the top of the lower sill and on the two sides, but there was no stop on the bottom of the upper sill. The internal planking covers the sills and frames as well as the stops as they extend to the edge of the sills and frames. rather than being recessed on the inboard side.

Hi Richard,
Looking at the contemporary contract for HMS Nassau, a sister of HMS Agamemnon, the sizes of the gun ports on a given deck are different than the others as the caliber of the guns is different. In addition, while the sides and top and bottom on a given deck are the same, the shape changes as they are parallelograms. Each is a slightly different shape as the angle of the top and bottom of the port changes so they are pretty much parallel to the sheer of the deck.

Allan
From the contract you can see the sizes vary in both depth and fore and aft.
Gun deck 2 feet 8 inches deep and 3 feet 4 inches fore and aft

Upper deck 2 feet 8 inches deep and 2 feet 10 inches fore and aft

Quarter deck 2 feet 4 inches deep and 2 feet 6 inches fore and aft.
