Starboard gun ports done!
Rear is done. And I still hate rudders. Too much precision. 
Excellent
Port gun covers done! Nearing the finish line!
Thanks, Gilbert, for letting me know where to get the fleur de lys!
Vic,
One thing I discovered reading several documents is that the first gun port at the front of the lower row should not be armed with a permanent cannon.
It is called in French the "sabord de chasse" and is used only when the ship is chasing another vessel. It is then armed with a special cannon.
I guess I should have left it closed! It would have saved me 10 minutes of work. Thanks for letting me know. It’s too late to change now, though. It will have to join the 100s of other historical inaccuracies I’ve committed on this beautiful ship.
Many paintings make the mistake of arming the forward-most ports, including Payne’s engraving of HMS Sovereign of the Seas. Guns in those fore ports interfere with the anchor handling gear. And all ships have to have their fore ports empty of guns.
Port side anchors.

Last of the anchors! I’m done! I can finally go home tomorrow! Pictures tonight. 
well done
Good morning Vic. Outstanding achievement (sounds like a school certificate
) - seriously tho excellent. Cheers Grant
It does kind of sound like that, doesn’t it? Heading back to Texas without her. Feeling torn between free at last and lost. Have to edit pictures before sending them. Ugh. I hate that part.Good morning Vic. Outstanding achievement (sounds like a school certificate
