Exactly! From experience with this kind of ship building, I can tell that
you absolutely need the so-called Timber Plan, which essentially shows
several cross-sections along the hull. Aditionally, info about keel length,
deck heights and curvatures, etc may help to visualize better the whole
structure and may even be essential for some parts. With that information
you can either work in (e.g.) Wings, or use the dedicated hull-building
program FreeShip as a start, and finish in Wings. Overall, building an
accurate ship takes weeks if not more, but the result can be very
satisfying.
