Hello Kaya,

Really beautifully planked. It turned out really nice!! Great work.

The placement of the lower hull guns and gun carriages has begun. I had a hard time fixing the upper decks because of a mistake I made at the beginning regarding the placement of the lower hull forward and rear guns, but so far it's going better than I expected...

I make sure the guns are level. Also, the plan stated that the gun mouths should be 9 mm outward. I took my measurements accordingly.

@GrantTyler thank you very much for your wishes...

Actually after placing the lower deck guns and gun carriages, I actually needed to fit the upper deck. However, I encountered this difficulty because the plans lacked sufficient explanation. However, I found a suitable solution and placed the gun carriages. This seems to indicate that it's essential to research all the literature before starting to build the model.

@Neil_jo thank you very much.

I've been working on refitting the lower deck guns for the last few days and have finally finished them. I made sure the guns were aligned in their gun mounts. Now I've started sanding and painting the lower hatch parts.

I couldn't decide whether to make a rope around the warehouse or use chains.
