She is looking sweet. Wish I had room for such a model, as I would love to build her. Can I suggest that you put these videos in a playlist. It would make it much easier to view them. Enjoying the build so far.
Are you going to install a proper 3rd level gun deck and place fully trucked guns on it? Dummy guns never look convincing to me. They look like a shortcut. I make extra gun carriages. They are not rigged being so hidden, but the visibility of the carriages makes a difference. If you rig soft interior LED lights, internal details deep down in the hull may be partially visible and add to the simulation if you peer in through the gun ports. I typically add things like capstan shafts, pumps, stanchions and deck supports, simulated interior framing, and other features to the level of detail that you can see them from certain angles as you peer into the side of the ship. Too much is a waste of effort, but with a ship as large as Victory, you may consider entirely furnished gallery rooms with furniture, visible through the windows with interior lights. Lots of planning to add, but so worth it. I am planning on gutting large portions of the interior of to add these sorts of details, once the planking is on the hull to take over support such that the internal skeleton can be removed and replaces by realistic looking framing.

I will be putting fully rigged guns at the cut outs I am creating.
@@christhomson6350 It's going to look spectacular.
