Daniel,  You mention you could not find the plans on properly planking the hull.  There are two that are excellent and can be found here at MSW in the Articles folder.     https://thenrg.org/resources/Documents/articles/LiningOffYourHullPlankingTutorialAndFan.pdf and

Just an idea
I would fill the bow with filler blocks first. That will work much easier for planking

 

Daniel, very nice work and it looks very promising.

 

This is why I have to say (in simple soldiery words, forgive me) that you have to follow Patrick suggestion to fill the bow part with wooden blocks until too late, in order to avoid unsightly bent on the first frame. Then you may make it pleasantly smooth, even by eye. You may hate it now, but later you would not be able to correct this unevenness.

 

By the way, this is my most favourite shipbuilding period  🙂.

 

Cheers
