The details are fantastic. Perhaps slightly out of scale but at these sizes its almost impossible to get this absolutely right. In many cases if the scale was correct i don't think the pieces could be built. One of the models i submitted recently for judging, one of the points i was heavily criticized for was as the hole size for the seine in the boat was too small. It was the best i could find, and yes it was smaller than the real size for the seine , but the only other option was to leave the seine out all together. It was a fishing boat that used a seine so i am not sure what sense that would have made.
i am rambling. Makes me wish i had done this with the Thorn.Thanks Kevin! I follow your work very closely and try to get inspiration! It's a new type of construction for me, which I had never approached and I try to do the best I can.
The hinges are indeed a bit out of scale but functional; the alternative was to make them fake. -

Such a pleasure to see your work in progress. While I included every detail in my Swan class build as well it is a sad fact that most of your current work will not be visible on the finished model, even with partially planked decks. If I had a do-over I would seriously consider adding LED lighting in some of these areas (such as the lanterns in the light room). I know nothing of these things but it seems very doable at your scale.
It wouldn't be a difficult job and I'm thinking about it. I have already done this in my Amarante

Sorry to disappoint you, but I won't be filling these drawers, just as I won't be filling the holds with barrels...... 😜
