Logging my first post to say how enjoyable it is following all your build logs dockattner, this new build looks like an absolute pearler!

Reading through the comments mentioning the differences between the main Ancre authors, is there any chance that the difficulties people encounter using the author under discussion arise from the paucity of 17th source material relative to later periods? Or is it more from say the differences between the monograph's drawings and body text (i.e. the gunport example you mentioned)?

Look forward to following this log with great interest!

Hello Victor! I'm honored that your first post was on one of my build reports. My thanks.

As this is my first attempt at scratch building and my first exposure to a monograph with drawings I don't really feel qualified to comment. I have discovered some internal inconsistencies but its hard to imagine that is not 'par for the course' when it comes to these epic works. The inconsistencies are frustrating, but no more so than poor instructions that come with kit builds. I will say that those who know more about these things than I do have been somewhat critical of this particular author (especially on the French forum), but as a group we tend to be complainers, don't we ROTF.

At the end of the day I am certain that much of the trouble I have starts with me.
