Jim, I am speechless. Thank you very much,.

Nevertheless, young and new modelers need to know that my work quality is just average, that I am not that guy that looks for perfection on every step and I do mistakes, like the anchors incredible that one, I was so piss-off with myself that I decided to stop building it.

Nevertheless, my wife brought me to earth with these words :

Are you building this ship to be placed in a museum? NO .
Are you building this ship for someone else that paid you ? NO,
Are you building this ship because you like the hobby, assembling a kit, do some modifications on it and enjoy the process? YES

So then be happy, forget about perfection and mistakes, just do the best you can and enjoy the result, we all do mistakes. Live the moment and what you do.

I love her !!!

Then I finished the cannons, added a few small details here and there, and said to my self : DONE , I stop here.

Cheers

Thank you for your kind words, Daniel. And I completely understand your frustration; we've all had those moments. But... I keep saying from post to post, and your wife is absolutely right, this is a journey of joy, not perfection. The heart you put into your build shines through far more than any flaw ever could. You finished it with integrity, passion, and love for the craft. And that, my friend, is what truly matters.

Cheers to you both!

Thank you Jim !!!!
 
As others have said, a well done model of this ship. As to your errors, a few noticed minor things, and as builder you probably know of many more, but that doesn't matter as most people will never see errors in build or know the ships boat is from another kit.

You should hold your head high and be proud to display this model anywhere!
