A magnificent effort! The hull widening from the standard hull pieces is

The fighting tops are usefully large, and the doubling of the ratlines to the
tops is clever - giving the effect of a nice backward sweep.
The steeper than usual tumblehome works very well, and the captain’s cabin is
well integrated.
Seven centre sections? Wow.
My only criticism would be the placing of the mainmast - it looks to far forward
to me. (Though I like that the fore and main masts are more or less the same
height - that’s how frigates should be!).
Very nice work indeed!

Coming from you, this is high praise, thank you very much!

yes, using the new ratline part helped.

thanks, I like how the latticed widdow kicks-out (3 4 5 right triangle)

You are right, but to keep the shrouds and channels the same, it would have to
come back 6 studs, too much I felt. And I would lose another quarter deck cannon
pair, if I wanted to keep them aft of the main mast.
g’day mate!
