Nice progress! Are you planning on building the full ship, or are you doing a set of vignettes based on the images?
I'm working on the Bonnie in 1/96.

I can't tell how thick the plastic is, but it looks like 0.020" or 20 thou. You need to use at least 40 thou, or even better, 60 thou.
I used 20 thou on a 1/96 ship model many years ago and it warped and fell apart because it was too thin.

I agree on the use of at least .040"(1mm) styrene as that is what I use on my 1/144 scale ships.
