That looks really good, what kind of wood did you use for the moulding? (maybe I missed it while reading)

I mainly use the pin pusher for the first layer of planking on the hull. It's simply for holding the plank to the bulkheads. I then push the nails in halfway so they're easy to remove after the glue has dried. Some planks require a bit more force, so I push the nail all the way in, and then pop it out later with a sharpened screwdriver. Once the head protrudes slightly, you can, of course, use pliers to remove it completely. Pre-drilling isn't necessary. A pin pusher is certainly not essential, but it's an inexpensive tool to try out and see if you like it/find it useful.

It's really beautiful! -
Very nice colours indeed! Love the whole overall look. The downside with a "one piece" stern is indeed the painting. You can't easy paint/airbrush the pieces seperately. But I think it will turn out fine, because this already looks really good 👌

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
