Congratulations on the sale! I can imagine that at some point you have to sell models because there is simply no more room for them, especially this one! But it will indeed hurt a little bit, because you have put so much time and energy into it. Especially if it is gone so soon!

I would try different materials and see what you like best. Everyone has their own preferences. I have experience with wooden battens and tape. Wooden battens follow the natural curves more easily without "sharp corners". And with tape you have to be more careful not to get "sharp" corners. For example, with my current Sphinx build I used wooden battens for the first layer because I didn't quite understand how the lines would be, and for the second layer I used tape because I already felt a bit more confident to set out the lines with tape. (Tape is easier to attach than wooden battens). In terms of dimensions I wouldn't go wider than 4mm (and not to thick say 1mm), whether it's tape or wood...and anything below that is fine. Again, experiment to see what you like

to paint or glue first?

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
