Good morning Horatio, 
Looks like that the deck is coming up fine.
But don't forget to plan out the ribs. just one mistake on those and you can throw away hours of hard work. 
Come on mate - let's get the slipway ready and go commerce raiding.

Hello Horatio,
Looks like you are working flat out on the model.
Just one thing - check out the shape of the first two sets of ribs, starting from the front. As, if I am not mistaken, they should be more rounded at the bottom. This is typical for all ships of the period.
Never the less, you are doing a great job, the deckline is nice indeed
Come on mate, lets have the cruiser launched and fitted - we need to go commerce raiding.

Interesting photos Horatio, it is nice to see how the model is formed from the very initial stages.
