That's lovely. Over on Kitmaker.net someone made a #d printed version of Bushnell's Turtle with full interior, which was very cool, but yours has so much more character for having been hand-crafted. I love it.

Lovely model of an historic and distinctive (but largely ignored by model shipwrights) warship. The metalsmithing is particularly noteworthy. Well done!
