Le Belle Poule 1765 Frigate

Build progressing to deck level. Some areas painted black as these will be behind open gunports. At this point build is slowing down because I have to make the guns that go on the gundeck which will be impossible to install guns after hull sides are installed. Also there is a lack of support for the upperdeck overhang as well as a blank white wall at the back of the overhangs. I am making a drawing of the details in this are using some other French frigates as a guide. These will be installed as well as support columns at the front of the overhangs along with some deck frames.

Have to make a bunch of these gun assemblies. I'm not crazy about the colors used by Shipyard. I'm deciding on whether to paint the carriages brown. On the other hand the French did like their bright colors. Anyone have any input?
