Never admit defeat and say you could not build a hull from scratch. Anyone with modelling skills can build their own hull. I started on my first hull when I started on the Marlborough ( temporarly laid up until I have finished Victorious ).
There are enough tips and pictures on Scratchbuilding, showing you how to go about scratchbuilding a hull, by using the plank on frame method and then covering with fibre tissue and resin.
The Good Hope would make an excellent model, but unless one could obtain some suitable plans, it would not be feasable to attempt it.
Hope you find what you are looking for and if you are successful, have a go at scrathbuilding your hull. You do not know what you are capable of, until you have a go. Everyone has to start sometime, if they want a model that can't be bought as a kit or if a hull is not available.
