if you want it to seem like it's in scale, then it seems to work as is. if you want to reinforce the forced perspective idea (i.e. it's further away and that is why it looks somewhat smaller), you might consider a few HO workers on the ship and the dock. at 1/95 scale it's pretty close to HO scale. regardless, a nice scene.

I really want a couple of ships - ideally warships - on my layout but have no room for them at the moment.  But I could do one of those fold-up water-surfaces to fill one of my access aisles, that swings down (sort of like a big door that is hinged to the layout edge).  I think Alan Arnold had one on his layout if I remember.  

 

Anyway, I'm looking at something like Graupner's 1:48 model of the Flower class, HMS Bluebell.  About 55 inches long and sort of a "built-up" - the model boat equivalent of Woodland Scenics built up buildings.  It is a cool model even if expensive as a vision loco:I would make a cutout hold in the waterline so I could take it out of its waterline hole in the "water" and down to the lake and run it, which would be cool.
