I like a lot of this.  The colors look good, and you added some good details to the hull.  I also like the swivel guns, and the captain's cabin fits in surprisingly well with the rest of the ship.  Speaking of the cabin, might we trouble you for a peek at the interior?

I do have one criticism, though, but it might be difficult if impossible to change without undoing the entire ship.  Generally when an ship gets this size, it's best to have some form of tumblehome in the hull.  It doesn't have to be incredibly complex like Captain Greenhair's method (which looks great but can be a pain to implement, as I've learned with my attempts to copy it), but I personally think that multi-deck ships should not be straight up and down from top to bottom on the sides.

I hope this doesn't sound too negative.  There's a lot of good here, and I am quite impressed.  When viewed from the sides, the ship looks terrific, and I love the details that you've added.  Making multi-level decks that can all be removed is a very impressive feat as well, and you've executed that brilliantly.

Thanks for the support and the warm welcome people.

 

It took me about a month due to redesign after redesign to finish this one.

It stands tall at a whopping 106 cm length (almost 42 inch) and 72 cm high (28,4 inch)

20 guns, 23 sailors, 18 soldiers, 2 governor's daughters, 1 governor / captain, 1 chef, 2 prisoners, 1 mermaid, 1 giant eagle, 3 monkees and 2 parrots

 

The captains cabin is still work in prgress as I have not yet found a nice design for the interior. Also I tried the tumblehome effect but it looked really weird so i just left it out.

Her little sister is almost finished but I have doubts finishing it as my collection of original ships is getting too big for another moc.
