In addition to hinging/pulling into place the masts, sometimes the hull is inserted in layers using long tweezers. Getting the masts and rigging just right so that it hinges up into place is a real art form unto itself. When I was in elementary school, there was a neighbor that built these things. Sometimes he would let me sit and watch as long as I did not try to talk too much!
