I am loving these new kits coming onto the market. For many decades we have had such a limited choice of ship models to choose from.
What a great detail with this "steel"-cover protection of the glas windows -if these were lighthouses.More fittings, the lid at the top is openable

I agree Jim, I also think they look a little too stark.I keep saying wonderful work, gentlemen! One of my small observations is the treenails imitations are a bit large to this scale. Not sure if this is an image illusion, or because, in fact, it was etched by a laser beam.

You mentioned that the deck comes as one piece of wood (or two half), it may make sense to just drill the holes instead of laser etch. This will give a modeller an option to treenail if they decide or use putty to imitate. It is just my personal vision.Yes Yes
I have to agree that they are too big, but it’s only a problem with this pilot model. We have made improvements to the deck to make nails normal, photo will come later.

Or were these chicken cages? - No, these were lighthouses
One small comment - seems, that they are slightly too short -> maybe you want to change in the kit and add some glass under the window framing

This is the deck of speedwell, Le cygne will be the same like this.You mentioned that the deck comes as one piece of wood (or two half), it may make sense to just drill the holes instead of laser etch.
