I think it is spiffy! I love that you have two decks! And that you have
tumblehome.
I was on the gun deck of the HMS Victory in Portsmouth and it is remarkable how
little headroom there is (IIRC the floor to ceiling was 6 feet at best, wit a
lot of beams lowering it to more like 4.5, but I could be misremembering), so
the fact that you have little clearance is spot on.
Does the RCX stuff in the background mean you are planning to automate the
cannonfire (recoil, draw back, reemerge, flash of light, repeat)? :-)
Spotlighted!

from the surface of the gun deck to the surface of the quarter deck is exactly
six bricks high. no tall hat on a minifig!
