3 1/2 year build of Model Shipway's Charles W. Morgan. Aside from the keel and bulkheads, a few laser cut pieces for crosstrees and rails, and some cast metal bits, this is largely "here's some wood, make it look like this" kind of kit.
My first fully rigged ship model, so a more than a bit of a challenge. I'm pleased with how it all worked out, although as my skills improved I would have done some things differently and better than I did when starting.

BTW - Your rope coils look good. Do you have a trick for the flat coils for the cannon tackle lines coiled up on deck? They need to be short and sweet (and tight!!).

I was wondering if it wasn't a protective barrier. I never would have guessed hammocks, I was thinking wadding?1? Hammock makes sense, but that canvas better be really strong.... Thanks for schooling me 😃

They are hammocks. They were stored there to protect sailors from shrapnel if they got into a battle.
