It looks like you guys are in agreement that the mast placement could be improved and the hull color needs more grey. I will definitely take these suggestions into account for my next steps -- Thank you both! This is exactly the kind of expert advice I have been hoping for

My last hull section arrived today -- here is the current version with red decorative elements. I am wondering if the dragon wings and railings might be a bit too ostentatious? Also, I would appreciate any general comments on how this is turning out. As my first MOC, this project is an experiment and I would certainly like to improve my skills. Next up: Sails!

I have some medium-weight canvas-looking cloth. I am thinking of including a topsail, 2 jibs and a big 'ole gaff sail on there. Not quite sure of the mechanics yet. I'd appreciate any suggestions though! I have made some further upgrades - will post more pics when I have time.

Thanks! I got impatient waiting for my last hull section to come in, so I built up the stern section and left a spot for the last hull piece. I also lowered the bowsprit and moved it slightly forward, and adjusted the boom and gaff a bit. I would appreciate any feedback on any aspect of this build. I realize it is a humble project compared to most on this forum, but I am still building confidence and skill for something larger. Here are the new pics:

This is just gorgeous. The rigging is spectacular and I love the creative modification of the windows. Thank you for sharing this inspirational work of art!

Hi all. This is the first project I've posted. I am trying to create a Bermuda sloop using a small prefab hull with two middle sections. I have built several ships to play Evil Stevie's Pirate Game, and I wanted to build something to fill in this size range in my fleet. This is a prototype of the front half that I whipped together. I apologize for the blurry pictures. Suggestions or comments are welcome!
