Is there a place online that gives tutorials on how to build a wooden scale model ship from scratch?
I have the plans,but they’re pretty much in Greek. I need all kinds of information on finding wood to use,how to bend it,how to build a fram work for the hull,etc. Any help would be appreciated.
Here are some suggestions:
