Continuing with the gun ports.
but this time the ones which include the gun port
lids, these will take some time to produce as the Santisima Trinidad has 104 of
these ports!!. underneath a picture of the prototype, in this picture I already
have blackened the brass parts. the idea is to use 2 "L" shaped brass
wires, insert them in the hinges and glue the other end in the gun port frame (holes are already pre-drilled for
it in the picture) so they can be opened and won't fall out.
Underneath: Starting an
"mini" production line to see how consistence the lids can be
Glueing of 2mm wide Mahogany strips on black cardboard to emphasize the individual planks when gluing them togeter
Glued and cut into the correct size
Gluing a 0,6mm mahogany square on the (innerside) of the lids
Reusing the pins of an old Pentium III processor to simulate nails in the correct scale.
Result after adding hindges and eye, and a compareison with the supplied frame/lid.
