Halcon 1:100 first attempt for wooden ship modeling

Thank You very much for all kind words, that keep me more glad of my work and keep my morale high :) . I am not so advanced modeler but hope will do better job in future ;)
Finally I finished my Halcon 1840 , it was really lot of fun.
Now there is another problem - the exposition of exhibition :).
Unfortunately, present days is impossible to put the model on TV box, as all TVs are flat :) , so probably I hide the model in paper box on attic to prevent it from dust, or maybe You have any other ideas ? .
Well, as for today, at least, I made some nice pictures, as for the public presentation, so now will share them with You.

Already arrived next 9$ kits from Ali - 1:70 NewPort, 1:120 America 1851, 1;130 Harvey, another one 1:100 Halcon 1840, and 1:150 Victory (this one 25$ :) ) , but for Victory I am too short now.
Maybe America 1851 , it is nice boat and nice year, because at this year Colt made his Navy revolver (I had and used this gun for CAS shooting also :))
 
Very neatly done! I see some very clever solutions to problems as they arose, looks like you learned a few new skills too. Congratulations!

At next was a point to made a masts and bowsprit, but there was no any dimensions in China "instruction". I saw a pictures of models where masts was much too big for the rest of body, making such no proportional model a pain when look at it :)
Proper proportions are very important, for ship and women :D

So I used a Fusion 360 software (it is free for personal use) and famous Halcon plans I found in net, to made a proper proportion for my model at 1:100 scale. Using CAD software I was able to scale/calibrate the plans and made/estimate proper dimensions for masts, bowsprit and sails. Here is an example of dimension. All are metric system mm ;)

Maybe my dimensions calculation will be useful for anyone in future, so here I add dimension pack as .zip file for download, including .pdf files with proper sails dimensions for Halcon 1840 1:100 scale.

I own a .36 caliber 1851 Navy revolver. It is a replica meade by Pieta in Italy but it shoots fine and is a lot of fun. My favorite is the end Model Dragoon, though.

It is great gun :) , however my favorite of era is Remington 1858 cal.44 , I like to shoot that one the most (made by Pieta), I own also Remington revolver carbine .44 made by Uberti. Anyhow for CAS competitions, I mostly use lever carbine Winchester 1892 by Rossi .357/.38sp and SAA 1873 revolvers also .357/38sp .
I saw many times a surprised people, that in Poland we made such Western "sports", including Zoot Shoot .
We made a DIY mechanical horse for some stages ;)
