Finally some small progress again. There was a lot of work in the garden to do and also the job kept me busy.
At the moment I try to figure out how to place LEDs in the 4 lanterns on the roof of the balconies. My problem is that the LEDs are bigger than the opening of the lanterns in the bottom. Probably I will make a cut out there. And of course I also have to isolate the wiring to prevent a short circuit.
I will keep you updated.

I was searching for the log of Gary and a post where you can see the gunports closer. Take a look f.e. here:I don't know what I did but you can see what I did on page 2 & 3 of my model.
My compliment for your improvement and your way to make the model technically more accurate. Therefore I have to say, that your scratch version is much better!Quick update:
I used left over parts from the deck planking of my previous build to make the gunport frame and I like the look of it.
On the pictures you also see the other version with the 2mm wood, whcih is too thick.
The picture from the top shows that the thickness of the wall is only 2mm. So I think I will add an additional layer of 2mm planks and finish with a 1mm walnut. This means an overall thickness of 6mm which is fine for me.
I also added a picture with the lid closed to show what I meant with smooth transition from lid to the outer planking. In comparison I also added the fram for better comparison and I like the version with the scratch frame much more.
What are your opinions?
