Dan, I had my cataract surgery a few months back. What a difference indeed!!!! I never realized just how bad they were. Talk about bright white????? Amazing.
I’m not impressed with the two blacked out cannon ports…. I had some leftover false cannon ports where you stick a tapered barrel from the outside. I’m giving that a try. Like you I’m puzzled why on the open side it plain plywood sections instead of just planking it? I’m going to go with it for now. I’m looking forward to seeing what you do.
@@BoilerDan1 there's six blacked out Cannon ports to put those half barrels, there's two on each side and two at the back, I'm a little upset that they put doors on the bow where there should be two triple guns. I got rid of all the plywood on both sides of the ship, and I also got rid of the plywood on both sides of the four Castle. I also used solid blocks of basswood for the bow instead of layering all the pieces of plywood. I have shown all of that to my videos, I am currently working on placing the cannons after rigging them all, and I'm also working on the chain plates and dead eyes, that should all be in the next video
@BluestreekCustoms I’ve got some catching up to do! I’m covering over the plywood panels. I’ll do the switch over on the cannon ports. Undecided if I could make the triple guns? Might be a good challenge!

I had the exact same experience. Even the toilet bowl caught my attention!😂👍👍
Keep at it and have a good vacation 😎
Thanks. Short trip for Anniversary, then back for a couple weeks. Then a week at Hilton Head. Hope to get the hull finished by then 👍.
