Looks really good. As for cheating, model building is all about your enjoyment not about your techniques. Laser frames, turned barrels, etc. are all just a means to an end. You are the person who has to enjoy the final product and how you get there is just a personal preference.
I have been filling my frame work with balsa and sanding smooth before sheathing, it eliminates the skeletal look, actually takes way more time and is not pure. All fine by me.
Keep up the great work, this looks like a jewel so far. Interesting the Brits converted HMS M2 to a seaplane tender later in its life after removing the gun.
