Gun port continuing


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.
