Le Saint Philippe 1693 after Jean-Claude Lemineur (Ancre) in scale 1:48

Believe me one of the hardest things with this hobby is when to move on even when you've made you know you've made a mistake. If there's little to no impact on the future structure and its too risky to correct - move on ! In time it will fade into the background and no one will notice it anyway.
Thanks, Chris. I have already put this into the: the fix would be worse than the workaround needed category. It's more frustrating than anything. Some things are very challenging to do well and I work hard to get them right. This was an easy thing to do well and I managed to get it wrong. My guess is I built to the wrong pencil line. It will be noticeable (visible) but no one will notice it once there are four more decks stacked over the top of the 1st deck...

Building out the interior was actually just for the purpose of gaining experience. The subject of this stern section is really the exterior and its associated decor (notwithstanding the fact that I will spend most of a year building out the interior :rolleyes:).
