You have got the shape spot on although the wire stand looks a little precarious.  ever thought of using the Bullshot/Malamute trick of an upturned plastic champagne flute instead?

Heh, I like it. Rather cool. Could do with a couple of Gatlings, for starters.

Nonsense, the wire works fine. See below:

Looks good to me. I really like details on the propeller disks - how did you do that? I want to try something simular to make my Ospray look less crappy.

The props are clear plastic, sharpie pen outline and white paint 'swishes'. I'm not happy with the wire will be reworking it. Thanks all

Does the foredeck/castle seem to cry out for a shielded swivel gun? Seems to to me.

On to a HUGE YMMV comment, the skif doesn't seem nimble enough to use a spar torpedo, though that's just a visual impression. On the other hand, an element of marines volleying from the side means it doubles as an assault/boarding craft.

Agreed on the propeller disks; I'm wondering if streaks of plastic glue might have a similar effect.

Thanks!
