I'm new to model boat building, I recently purchased a small Schooner HALCON sailing ship 1/100 scale and to my surprise there's very little instructions, they barely show u how to assemble the hull and deck and there's no instructions at all for assembling the sail's or the masts.
I did find online some videos of the build but it's in a foreign language and doesn't really help, I'm wondering if anyone knows any sites or videos I can use to guide me, especially with bending the 3mm thick pieces that the canon's stick out of. If someone has knowledge of bending thin plywood like this I'd much appreciate any help, I can't start planking until I get these on, the part I'm mostly worried about is where the port holes for the canon's to stick out I'm worried about breaking or splitting the wood as it is very thin. Again any assistance would be gladly appreciated, thank you Peter Michael
