This is the HMS Bounty by Occre. I began this at the end of April 2023.
There has been progress, though it's slowed since the sun began to shine a little more!
I decided to not only take on the challenge of the build, but also adding lighting.
Here are a few images so far.20240425_083312.jpg20240425_083325.jpg20240428_232600.jpg20240506_180713.jpg20240508_193303.jpg20240508_195145.jpg20240515_055250.jpg20240626_131030.jpg20240626_131030.jpg
 
You prepared a very good basis with the planking and sanding - I think, that you are on a good way Thumbsup
 
Looks like good progress with the finish of the first layer of planking. You may find the following helpful regarding putting on the second layer of planking on the hull. A key point is that every strake lands in the rabbet. There is also the benefit that if you prebend there is no need for nails or clamps.
Picture below may be helpful and the four-part video on planking is a big help
