Nice work Kaya! She's really coming along.

Are those the stern galleries that A.L. included with the kit?!? It looks like they just grabbed some from another kit in a much smaller scale. This is from a painting at history.navy.mil:

@RussF Yes Sir, the stern castles that AL added. I actually wanted to make a new one out of wood, but I tried using AL's own castles beforehand. I was happy with the result, so I didn't change it.
 
Before making a section or a piece, I do a lot of research and try to combine the information I can find and then do what I planned. I hope I can continue this and be successful.
 
Kaya, that is shaping up very nicely. If I may venture an opinion, the stanchions look rather over-sized, which I think is rather typical in many kits. I would recommend you look for some after-market replacements or try your hand at making your own.
