hmm. the colours are off (or you have more references, where I don't know of, in that case I have never said this:P ) and the funnel has an way too big diameter. also I miss some detailing (for example the steampipe forward of the funnel) and many details seem to be overscaled (for example masthead, rudder). I was wrong about the basic shape indeed, I stand corrected, but still your drawing doesn't looks like the model at all, IMO.

I'll have to fix those later, I have other projects in need of my attention as well(Castel Conwy for example)

You should also change the credidts' font. Look at the archive or the SB guidelines to see the correct fonts. As for the drawing, it is a very good effort on a first ship, but Ace is right. Details and the funnel size and color seems at odds with the model.
