Thanks for your comments, :)
Here I have gone off course of the instructions.I had installed the inner walls as you can see and painted them whit but then decided to bash up some more..lol. I have cut my first gun-port and marked the others. I have used an image of the original plans of the surprise to get the ports in the correct position which is where the Jotika ports are placed.
I also changed the method of doing the gun-ports. Here is a picture of how it is done A/L's way. Then Pictures of how I have done mine.

Thanks For the comments. :)
Here is one of the Stern Gunports. The last three have port doors as that is were the admirals cabins are.(Whatever they are called). This is my interpretation of those.

Hi All,
Here is the bow Gunport. It is further forward than the Instructions say.. It is in-line with the prototype Gunport.It was quite tricky as the front is solid and I will have to use a dummy cannon.

Thanks for your Concern M8.
I've tried to study the pictures of the original HMS Surprise and from the original Plans of the ship it has a port there from which I have been informed is called a Bridle Port? What it was used for I don't know. The Surprise had 24x 32Lb Carronades on the main Deck which works inline with that one being whatever a Bridle Port is. Here is a Picture of the Protype of the Jotika Surprise which has used the same plans. I will have to scratch build the Cathead though.

Hello all.
Here I have managed to do all the ports on one side and line the inside of the main deck.
