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.

Quite impressive. A painstaking and relentless pursue of historic accuracy. Passion and love are the only way to reach that level of mastery. Congratulations. On my over 40 years of naval and aerial modelling, few examples of this modelling precision I have seen.
I am coincidentally about to start building this same ship (Artesania Latina´s one) Referring to Xavier Pastor´s book (which I have also), I have noted that the mizzen mast is "wrongly" placed on the second stern deck (quarter deck), just in front of the captain´s cabin. Additionally, and as per videos on youtube of a full size replica recently built in Spain, the mast is on the poop deck instead allowing the "pinzote" (a stick that steered the ship before the implementation of the wheel timon) which is clearly depicted on those videos I am attaching their links here:

So the question here for you is, did you noticed this peculiarity before building your model? What would your advice would be in terms of making this modification to the model?
Again, congratulations and keep up the awesome work.
Cheers mate.
