Hello. In this carantine time I lost my job. So I think I must make cheap ship model and sold out it cheap. I try shinese ship model from aliexpress. Model is Halcon. Size 1:100. Price with shipping to Lithuania is 24 euros. I buy brass version with 6 brass cannons.
I want to say that the details of the ship model is in good condition. All parts are laser cut. If you are not a brand new modeler then you can this model make and without instructions. Instructions isn't wery detailed. I like this chinese kit, becouse it is cheap and looks like great.

Hello. Yes, this sails is from fiberglas. There is link how I mane this sails
 
Hello,
Really a great job and a very impressive model! Congratulations!
Im very interested in your experiences because I started some weeks ago with the same ship but with a kit from a different Chinese vendor (in this case offered by Amazon).
Differences I noted: no „ship‘s boat“. Very poor description. Some wooden parts in the kit are not described, other unnumbered. No possibility to get more information via Amazon about colour scheme and sails. Bowsprit ends „outside“ of the hull. So: simplified …
Does somebody know if the schooner „Halcon„ is a still existing ship?
So I started with my kit to gain experiences for next coming kits and models. Maybe I will come back some day to this nice ship.
The hull is nearly ready and I‘m going to start with mast and sails.
A question: does you know (ore somebody else) how to mount yards correctly on a mast? Is the yard rotatable, or strictly in a 90 degree angle in direction of travel?
Please let me add some details of my model:
Colour scheme: I decided to use a „dirty white“ for the lower hull. I got this recommandation from a book where they noted that that could be a common colour up to middle of 19‘th century. Then the started to use copper sheets ( for models available at Aliexpress).
I added some additional parts for the anchor (hawse, outtrigger). Any idea how to get really small anchor chains?
Thank you again - and I hope for you and your family that you got a new job.
With very best regards - Otto
