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.

Very nice detail! Looking forward to seeing the remainder of your build log and the final product. I am myself attempting a Billing Boats HMS Bounty 492, and am in the early stages, with hull staining and finishing.
I too ran into some issues with planking, not so much the bending but the tapering of planks such that it would look somewhat natural. Was considering painting below the water line to cover up some of these mistakes, but i just prefer the all-wood look.
I will be curious to see how you put it all together. Do you not find the instructions horrendous? Especially hard for me, with this being my first ever build (Actually bought in 2005, and started, but put in on the back burner for many years up until recently).
Thanks for starting this thread, your pics will be very helpful as i try to find out exactly where all the parts go, lol.
