Widsau, if you don't have this book, I recommend you get it.

The Anatomy of Nelson's Ships
C Nepean Longridge
ISBN 0-87021-077-7

Lots of detail drawings to help with your modelling.

So look at a local hobbie store and use the balsa square and balsa panels for the ship. Then you will mix up a sort of 2part epoxy for the outside waterproofing using a credit card like tool in order to keep the weight down and make sanding and finishing easy.
Overall you will pretty much build the whole ship out of this very cheep and easy to finish and cut, manulpulate, ect... More to fit everything and to keep it simple. Get the materials from some place close by. Read a few Ship Modeler Books about the steps and process of making a water ready RC boat.
 
Instead of balsa there was a real hard wood which was very light and strong. It was a beech wood of sort I'll find out and post a link.

I wanna see pics this sounds cool from a building stand point.

here comes the link for my first started ship HMY Royal Caroline, made with Autocad R14, from this ship i learned, constructin in autocad, and tested it first(has some failures)
i worked on that ship around 6-7 months on it, because software was very old, and not able to generate 3d forms by itself..
