Steve,
I was going to recommend the Model Ship World forum (**LINK**), but I see now that you already posted the same question there; it's not that you mightn't get help here — you never know — but you are much more likely to get it over there, as to my knowledge it is one of the main fora for period men-of-war models, whereas discussions here in general are more about the r/c side of boat modelling. Not that static models or period MoW are off-topic in anyway, but they don't tend to turn up all that often in the threads here.
On a closer look I also see that you did indeed get links to three build logs over on MSW …
