My second go around at a ship, I was able to throw some ideas I had after I

and being longer, but I’d be interested in hearing everyone else’s opinion as
well.
Some of the differences were custom cannons on the inside to save some
interior deck space, and also using some reverse tumblehome if you will.

Ahoy Sean
Marathon is very nice looking!
The white and blue colour scheme sets off some really nice work. I’m not
convinced about the ‘reverse tumblehome’, but it certainly yields more usable
deck space.
I’m thinking that Marathon would look better with different mast spacing,
generally, I work with fore to main distance being double (more or less) main to
mizzen... but I don’t think moving the main aft would work on Maraton - so
that would leave moving the mizzen foreward.
Kudos for the angled gallery too, but the sterncastle/quarterdeck (‘bridge’) is
too boxy. I know it’s difficult to get it to work, though. Maybe try a
combination of raising the deck towards the quarterdeck, lowering the
quarterdeck (head room in the cabin should be, as in the real thing, fairly
tight), and going for a bit more overhang?
Very nice work!
Spotlighted! Thanks for sharing.
