Novice first build progress

Wow, your ship features many aspects of great ship kits. You are flattening the learning curve as you progress on this beauty.
 
For a first attempt, it looks great! The entire purpose is to build them as a learning experience. :)
On to the next one! :)
Have you thought about what you want to build next?
 
First attempts are a learning experience that we all go through. One point that MAYBE you can address..... it looks like you have the starboard gallery on the port side and vice versa. :)

Nice going John and welcome, I joined in Dec last year with a simpler boat, the Polaris by OcCre and welcomed comments from the fraternity who made some nice comments and gave me a lot of helpful advice along the way to rectify my errors. So you can post on here without fear of people having a go at you.
It’s the best forum I have belonged to.
This was my first effort, currently building a Sopwith Camel by Artesania Latina then going to start The Black Swan by OcCre
