It's your model, do whatever pleases you. Just a humble observation Either way, she looks great. The hull in the first pics reminded me of the H.M.S. Rose (renamed the "Surprise" in "Master and Commander: The Far Side" while she still was berthed in Bridgeport Ct. When you run you hands alongside these ships and work on them up close, the first thing that strikes me, is how unlike the models they look. These ships just have so much character in the hulls, it's a shame when the models get polished smooth as glass, some character seems to get lost. However, that being said, that is one true, straight and fair hull you have there! It looks like you have a masterpiece coming together.
