Hi Oscar! Great start! Will follow, as the Constitution is on my "maybe some day" list.

 

On this last post, can you edit your post and flip some of your pictures?

I am curious about your choice of color for the spar deck. Why did you use black when the actual ship's deck is natural wood color? BTW, very nice work.

The model color looks pretty close to the color it was in 2018 when I took this pic. Tho, the light level may affect the perception.
