Continuing the build. Installed some of the gun carriages in areas that are inaccessible when hull side framing and planking are laid on. Needed to match the color of the yellowish parts in the model for edge coloring and touch up. Could not find a commercial color to match. Used Vallejo Model Colors sun yellow with just a touch of bronze flesh tone. Made a test card with various amounts of bronze added to the yellow until I reached a reasonable match.
Touched up carriages and stringers. Then installed on ship. I will install gun barrels later so that they will not be damaged during construction.
Blank bulkhead problem resolved by drawing a new part using Word, printing, cutting and installing. Also added a new support carling under the forward edge of deck for support..
