Lessons learned

Don't paint bow line with free hand, tape instead
Use finer brushing paper (scratches on bow)
Type of farnish for better wood expression (instead of emanel transparent)
Not too much glue, fit part better together (such as deck on hull or cabin on deck)
Glue mainsail prior to fixing mast
