Too many sails! You have her rigged for light airs, very little wind. She would be in her fighting trim, that is: usually no lower courses, and no out-rigged stun's'ls. The lower courses would be triced up to minimize flying debris/wood splinters and flaming wads and powder that might catch the sails on fire. The out-rigged stun's'ls were usually used only to maximize the sail area and coax more speed out of very light winds. Keep working on it. You might try going to this site for reference: www.scrimshawgallery.com. Find the Paintings and Prints page, and checkout the work of these artists: Geoff Hunt (did the covers for the O'Brian/Aubrey novels), Geoffery Huband (did the covers for the Kent/Bolitho series), and William Gilkerson. These artists pride themselves in accurately portraying the Great Age of Sail and Ol'Ironsides as realistically as possible (in 2D... but the 2D "Rules of Art" apply to 3D as well...). But keep it up....
