Cheers everyone for your replies. Great to know I'll have support here. Like I said before, I tried a ship from constructo but the instructions were terrible and barely any photos. I'm very egar to start up again once I completed the wright flyer. I know myself I could manage a build once I've the tools to do it as in well detailed instructions. Thanks again. 

Thanks alot Bob. Ed in model expo advised me to start with the longboat. I think I'm getting sidetracked by bigger boats but you're right, I need to start small and build on it. I'm going to take your advice and get the longboat. At least I'll have plenty of support here which is great. Are the armed longboat and longboat much the same by model ship ways do you know. I see 2 of similar boats on their site. Thanks again. 

Beautiful ship man. Is it plank on bulkhead? 

Thanks Dirk. I'll check it out. 

Hi guys. I'm looking for some advice on my first ship kit to buy. I've some model building experience. I've built the conestoga wagon from model expo and I'm almost finished the wright flyer. The wright flyer was extremely hard but I'm almost done! I'd love to get into ship kits now. I know I've to start somewhere but I don't want something too easy. The wright flyer was a really tough build with tiny delicate pieces and not great instructions. I think I'd be able to tackle a ship build once it has good clear instructions and plans. I tried one years ago but the instructions were absolutely terrible with very little pictures. Any suggestions appreciated. 

That's great so. Thanks all for your help. I'm building the Conestoga wagon from model trailways. I tried ship building but had to give up soon into the build because of very poor instructions from constructo. Really enjoying this build.

Thanks all for advice. Where would I get acetone? I hear alot of people talking about it. Tried buying it over the net, but because it's a flammable liquid, they won't ship it. @Kruginmi are u sayin I can use nail varnish remover by itself?

Hi Joe. I know it says you can get Muriatic acid in a hardware store, but what is it do you know? Is it a popular acid that alot of hardware stores would have? Cheers for the reply.
