    A tweet about Masdegar's house worked as a reminder... I do have this big galleon (6 levels) to colour. So, back on it.

    Looks good, although I am confused about the oven. Besides the terror that having one so deep in the boat must cause all the crew, it appears the chimney doesn't go all the way through the decks to dump into the outside air. Such a design (even assuming grates on the other decks above) would cause all the decks to fill up with smoke and probably a nice scattering of hot embers flying who knows where. The second point is typically they would try to locate the chimney as far as they could from the sails, but it looks like your stove is right next to one of the masts. If the stove was centrally located in the boat they'd try and get it right in between the masts, and may even spread the masts a bit farther apart. (Also for a boat of this size your masts look a little bit undersized.)

    Edit:
    I circled the oven in green. You'll also note the size of the masts. Where the chimney comes up under the ship's boat is actually into open air, there is no roof over that. The reason for the oven being so deep in the boat is the decks where the guns are are working decks and they need the full space to operate the guns.
