old sailing ships for beginner

It doesn't have any cannons, but the Maly Modelarz Cutty Sark is not all that difficult a build. The old version left something to be desired in the way of printing and paper quality, but the parts fits were very good. I haven't gotten my hands on the most recent version (the reprint released a year or so ago), but I've read that the printing and paper quallity are vastly better, and has nice touches like sails printed both front and back.
Yes, Catty Sark is of a good quility, however, for the begginer I would reccomend Wodnik. a Polish Wodnik would be easier to build and smaller in Size, it alos has double side printed sails and banners.
I have a copy of one that I would like to exchange for WWII Plane.

I used to make MM way long ago, about 15 years ago. And even at that time non of the ship models that I built had any problems.
Currently all MM are done with 3D software and there are no fitting issues as far as I know.
In addition, Wodnik is printed on a nice paper with amazing quility. The colors are bright and very rich!

No guns, but not too complex and freely available:

shish ka-bob spears are thinner and a pack of 100 goes for $1 at the dollar store.
of course printing a bunch of telephone poles right next to each other on thin paper and then rolling works nice too:

well I searched the internet for pictures of a telphone pole. I found this one:
I trimed out the kitty, and the blue sky and took the telephone pole and duplicated it many times and made this image:
it was too big for my scale so I reduced it to 25% of the orignal and put it on
all four corners of a sheet of paper, flipping and mirroring the image to get things to line up right:
now whenever I need a mast, I print out this image and roll the paper.
QED.

for the santa maria I printed cloth onto paper!!!
I then mirrored the cloth, and dimmed the emblem by painting over it with
paint shop pro so it looked like I was looking through the "cloth" at the front side when I laminated the two paper sails together. I watered down the glue a bit and purposely let it wringle to give it more of a cloth effect.

sorry for the confusion, I printed a cloth pattern onto paper.
as a matter of fact, that model I did entiirely, in paper. even the rigging is paper.
