Ooh, she looks excellent. I didn't comment earlier, since you put them all on one thread, but I'll add some thoughts on this one. 

She is a well put together ship, and rendered quite well too. To me, she looks like she sailed out of the scenes of PoTC and onto the Brick Seas. The curvature is well done, and the black highlights well against the white. 

2 minor criticisms. The sails could be a bit more animated, and since you're already doing this digitally here, I think it would have been worth doing. Additionally, the black could use some breaking up here and there, it's a bit dark, just by nature of the piece colour, so I think it could have used some more accents. 

All together though, nice vessel, and I will rue the day my ships run into her.

Thank you very much for the compliments. My second ship that I built. I don't like the bow of the ship. There are many other mistakes. Only from the beginning of the third ship will my construction get better. You are right I should rework the sails on the next ship.

I hope our ships don't meet soon. A look into my crystal ball does not see any conflicts.
