Seeking advice on designing my own custom

[dimplyowl]

Hi everyone! I'm a first-time builder, though I've done modeling kits before (mostly small houses). I'm interested in scratch building a replica of The Revenge from Our Flag Means Death and am looking for any advice anyone has on how to get started. I'm not too concerned on the actual building, I've watched a lot of tutorials/builds. My concerns lie more in designing the actual plans. A few images from the show attached for reference! All advice is welcome!

I suggest going on the OcCre website and find a ship that roughly matches what you have in mind. The plans (including bulkhead sections) can be downloaded as a pdf. Those could give you a guide to building the hull. The deck fittings, rig, and superstructure could be devised from images you have posted.
