Axe... I don't know what to say! I want to say both "This is brilliant!", and also "I hate you!"
Seriously though. This makes me want to model another sailing ship! (More specifically, the one I have a physical model of, and the one I started doing before!)
Awesome work!
Poly count thus far?

Added Most of the sails, Will be adding more Staysails even though the sim does not support more than 6 sails, Will also have different sail setups for different weather conditions. New Helm added along with Cannon maps

Did much work on the interiors over the last 2 days, Texture`ing, Refitting, and modeling extra`s. Looking for books right now that depict the furnishings of any of these frigates or period ships in general, pretty hard to find.

You are right Axe. Just searched a while online. The best impressions I got were from the restorations they did for the Victory and the Surprise which is at the San Diego Maritime Museum. Maybe some of the pictures of these interiors that are published can be helpful for you. Looking forward to the ship's completion.

Completed texturing inside, still need to map and texture the walls in max and Gimp. Interior altogether is 52k Poly`s
