halcon

Hello all, As my first foray into the hobby, I've picked up the cheap Halcon 1:100 kit. The goal for me is to learn the techniques of model ship building and have some fun. As the many other build logs for the kit on this forums make really clear, I am aware this is a difficult model for a...

Since a few of the members here are trying their hand at making a decent model out of the cheap Chinese Halcon or Harvey Baltimore sloops, and since I had a Halcon kit sitting around for a year of so, I started a speed build of it with bashing limited to deadeye, cannon, and blocks replacements...

Hello people, I'm introducing my self after some week of 'lurking' in the Forum. What a fine place to be! As many before I never did a wooden ship as being more interested in plastic kits, modeltrains and above all cardmodelling. Next to that I'm volunteer/semi-professional modelbuilder at...

Hello to all newcomers, Please let me add some comments and my personal - not so important - experiences with the "Halcon sailing ship 1:100" from China. The kit: This "Halcon" is my project number zero - just to try and collect experiences. For this it works well I think. I got my kit via...

Very basic kit as I'm sure most of you know , didn't want to risk ruining an expensive kit on my first attempt . But now suspect this may be more of a challenge to get some sort of result from such a basic kit . The very poor instructions have at least led me to this forum , where I have already...

Hi Guys, For some time now I have been toying with the idea of going back to making ships in bottles again as they take up a lot less space in the house and still take quite a bit of time to make, especially if you drink the contents first.LOL!! After completing HMB Endeavour I started looking...

First a quick introduction. I'm getting back into making models since being a teenager and before life and work got in the way. Now I've retired I'm picking up this hobby again. I only made plastic kits before. But before I jump into HMS Victory i need to see if I can get my hands to do what I...

This is when I put the bulwarks on and I have started planking the hull, I was very nervous about the planking but it is coming together nicely for me. It started off very slow but with hit water and a travel iron I was able to get this far today, I've also attached pictures of the process when...

I've just soaked my bulwarks in warm water for about 10-15 minutes and I was able to clamp them to sides of my boat, I'm going to leave them to dry overnight and hopefully fingers crossed they will hold the shape after drying, I'll post another thread tomorrow to show how it went

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...

Fellow SOS members, A "Beginner" here. Im Daniel Rubio, from Chile. Im an architect, so i have some experience in small models. Love boating, old ships and history. ive taken pics of my build. This is a Halcon 1840 1:100 kit, with the upgraded canons. My intention is not to make it historic...

Hello, This will be a build log of the $15 1:100 Halcon 1840 kit from aliexpress. This will be my first wooden static sailing ship. I have built some RC boats before, but they were built for speed, and now it is time to build something for the looks. So, after waiting for about 2 weeks for...
