The Fortuna is an incredible build and I love how detailed and dynamic the final model is. BUT... I'm disappointed with how flimsy some of the exterior sub-assemblies are. In particular, the decorative bow section is exceedingly annoying to put back together if knocked loose. The gold clips are an awkward stabilising design choice. Also loose and delicate are the side vestibules of the captain's quarters. They are sizable assemblies only attached via 1 clip (unless I missed something). Other bugbears for me are the oven, the poop deck rails and the loose pieces at the very front and back of the hull. These are all in contrast to the incredibly solid and ingenious hull design.

Did anyone else have some difficulty with the build?
