Absolutely beautiful !
So many things to compliment! One thing that stands out to me is the thickness of the top timbers. It looks to be spot on for Diana being moulded in and out about 5 1/2 inches per the original contract. It is delicate work at our scales so not an easy thing to accomplish. Another thing that makes a difference in appearance are the round axles on the cannons. Well done!

Congratulations! You are making a beautiful model!
I would like to make one small remark: the anchor cable is too small and cannot be the same as the gunwale cable. The elbows were the largest cables and wound twice, the second one on the left, they had to support the not inconsiderable weight of the anchors! Your model deserves more approriate elbows!
